9. Care for a stiCking
(nonmoVing) lens
It is important to the health of your eyes that your
contact lenses move freely. If a lens sticks (stops
moving), put a few drops of the lubricating or rewetting
solution recommended by your eye care professional
into your eye. Do not use plain water or anything other
than the recommended solutions. Do not attempt to
remove a lens that is sticking, which could damage
your eye. If the lens does not begin to move when you
blink after several applications of the solution or drops,
contact your eye care professional immediately. Do
not attempt to remove the lens except on the advice of
your eye care professional.
10. Care for a dried out
(deHydrated) lens
If a soft, hydrophilic contact lens is exposed to air while
off the eye, it may become dry and brittle and need to
be rehydrated. If the lens is adhering to a surface, apply
the recommended rinsing solution before handling.
To rehydrate the lens:
•
Handle the lens carefully.
• Place the lens in its storage case and soak the lens
in a recommended rinsing and storing solution for
at least 1 hour until it returns to a soft state.
• Clean the lens first, then disinfect the rehydrated
lens using a recommended lens care system.
• If after soaking, the lens does not become soft or
if the surface remains dry, DO NOT USE THE
LENS UNTIL IT HAS BEEN EXAMINED BY
YOUR EYE CARE PROFESSIONAL.
