3. Chemical (Not Heat) Disinfection
•
Clean the contact lenses with a recommended cleaning solution and thoroughly rinse them with a
recommended rinsing solution.
•
After cleaning, to disinfect, carefully follow the instructions accompanying the disinfecting solution in
the care regimen recommended by the lens manufacturer or the Eye Care Professional.
•
When using hydrogen peroxide lens care systems, lenses must be neutralized before wearing.
Follow the recommendations on the hydrogen peroxide system labeling.
•
Thoroughly rinse lenses with a fresh solution recommended for rinsing before applying and wearing,
or follow the instructions on the disinfection solution labeling.
•
Do not heat the disinfection solution and lenses.
•
Leave the lenses in the unopened storage case until ready to put on the eyes.
Caution: Lenses that are chemically disinfected may absorb ingredients from the disinfecting solution,
which may be irritating to the eyes.
A thorough rinse in fresh sterile saline solution prior to placement on the eye should reduce the potential
for irritation.
4. Lens Case Cleaning and Maintenance
Contact lens cases can be a source of bacterial growth. Lens cases should be emptied, cleaned, rinsed with
solutions recommended by the lens case manufacturer and allowed to air dry. Lens cases should be
replaced at regular intervals, as recommended by the lens case manufacturer or your Eye Care Professional.
5. 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. If this
happens, dispose of the lens and use a fresh new one.
6. Emergencies
If chemicals of any kind (household products, gardening solutions, laboratory chemicals, etc.) are splashed
into your eyes: FLUSH EYES IMMEDIATELY WITH TAP WATER AND IMMEDIATELY CONTACT YOUR EYE
CARE PROFESSIONAL OR VISIT A HOSPITAL EMERGENCY ROOM WITHOUT DELAY.
