Ready for contact lenses?!

Do:

• MOST IMPORTANT - Review the tips and tricks from this major contact lens manufacturer: https://www.acuvue.com/mainlensassist ; being prepared will greatly improve your success!
• Wash hands before handling Contact Lenses (CLs) with oil/scent-free soap
• Use lint-free towels
• Only use recommended Multipurpose Solutions (MPS) to clean/disinfect/store CLs; never use water or saliva
• Rub CLs with MPS daily; use new MPS daily; do not top off old MPS - it's like using bath water twice!
• Replace CL case every 3 months
• Have back-up glasses to wear in case of eye infections, running out of CLs, or simply giving your eyes a break.

Do not

• Do not sleep in CLs; Do not shower or swim in CLs
• Do not overwear CLs longer than the advised replacement schedule
• Do not wear CLs if you have/suspect an eye infection, or irritation

 

After successful CL training, you will go home with your diagnostic lenses. Wear them about 4 hours the first day, and increase the wear time about 2 hours per day.

***If these symptoms occur, stop wearing your CLs and contact our office***

• eye pain or eye redness that does not go away
• abnormal light sensitivity or abnormally blurred vision
• discharge around the eyes
• torn or lost contact lens
   

After your evaluation period with the diagnostic lenses, you must return for a complimentary CL follow-up to assess your eye health and vision. Arrive to the follow-up wearing the contact lenses on your eyes.

• It is normal for your contact lens prescription to differ from your glasses prescription
• It is normal for your vision not to be "perfect". Contact lenses inherently aren't as accurate as your glasses prescription.
• multifocal lenses will provide functional vision, but due to their limitations, distance and near vision will have some degree of  blur.
