REMOVING THE LENS
Always remove the same lens first.
• Wash, rinse and dry your hands thoroughly.
• Rewet your contact lens with a few drops of solution to help the lens slide off your eye,
especially if it is a little dry.
• Place index finger on your lens.
• Look up.
• Slide lens to white part of your eye using your index finger.
• Gently squeeze
your lens between thumb and forefinger to remove your lens.
• Remove the other lens by following the same procedure.
• Daily disposable (single-use) lenses are discarded upon removal from your eye each day.
NOTE:
If this method of removing your lens is difficult for you, your Eye Care Professional will
provide you with an alternate method.
WEARING SCHEDULE
NaturalVue Lenses are only indicated for daily wear (less than 24 hours, while awake).
NaturalVue Lenses should NOT be worn for 24 hours or greater, including while asleep, as
studies have not been completed to show that the lenses are safe to wear during sleep.
CARE FOR A STICKING (NON-MOVING) LENS
If a lens sticks (stops moving) on your eye, apply 3 to 4 drops of the recommended lubricating
or rewetting solution. You should wait until your lens begins to move freely on your eye before
removing it. If non-movement of your lens continues, you should IMMEDIATELY consult your
Eye Care Professional.
CARE FOR A DEHYDRATED LENS
If a soft, hydrophilic contact lens is exposed to air while off your eye, it may become dry and
brittle. Dehydrated contact lenses should be disposed of. Therefore, you should always have
a pair of new, sterile replacement contact lenses available for your use.
EMERGENCIES
If any chemicals of any kind (household products, gardening solutions, laboratory chemicals,
etc.) are splashed into your eyes, you should:
FLUSH EYES IMMEDIATELY WITH TAP WATER AND IMMEDIATELY CONTACT YOUR EYE
CARE PROFESSIONAL OR VISIT A HOSPITAL EMERGENCY ROOM WITHOUT DELAY.
INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE MONOVISION WEARER
• You should be aware that as with any type of lens correction, there are advantages and
compromises to monovision contact lens therapy. The benefit of clear near vision in straight
ahead and upward gaze that is available with monovision may be accompanied by a vision
compromise that may reduce your visual acuity and depth perception for distance and near
tasks. Some patients have experienced difficulty adapting to it.
Symptoms, such as mild blurred vision, dizziness, headaches and a feeling of slight
imbalance, may last for a brief minute or for several weeks as adaptation takes place. The
