[Warnings]
1. Wearing contact lenses (“lenses” hereinafter ) may cause corneal
ulcers, keratitis (including infectious keratitis), corneal infiltration,
corneal epithelial disorders such as corneal erosion, corneal
edema, conjunctivitis (including giant papillary conjunctivitis), iritis,
and corneal neovascularization, and accelerate loss of corneal
endothelial cells.
If left untreated, eye disorders due to use of lenses may lead to
blindness.
2. To prevent eye disorders as listed above, observe the following
instructions in use of the lenses.
(1) Keep to the wear schedule.
The wear schedule differs for each individual. Follow the wear
schedule given by your eye doctor.
(2) Note the expiration date specified for your lenses.
These lenses are monthly replacement lenses. Replace the
lenses with new lenses at regular intervals as instructed by your
eye doctor. Check the expiration date to make sure the new
lenses have not expired.
(3) Use the lenses according to the procedures given.
Improper use of the lenses and lens care products may lead to
eye disorders. Keep the lenses and lens care products clean
(particularly the lens case). Handle carefully and use only as
instructed.
(4) Get regular contact lens checkups.
Note that eye disorders and lens damage may occur without
subjective symptoms. Get regular contact lens checkups as
instructed by your eye doctor even if you experience no problems.
(5) Consult your eye doctor immediately if you experience any
problems or notice anything unusual.
Confirm that your eyes are free of unusual redness or discharge
before inserting the lenses. No discomfort or irritation should
occur during use. If you experience discomfort or problems,
consult your eye doctor.
(6) Never use torn or otherwise damaged lenses.
Always inspect your lenses to confirm they are free of tears and
other damage. If you experience persistent symptoms that may
be due to lens damage, consult your eye doctor.

<Precautions for use>
1. Inserting/removing the lenses
(1) Lens handling precautions
• Keep your fingernails short and smooth.
• Wash your hands with soap before handling lenses.
• Do not dig your nail into the lenses or touch your eyes directly while
inserting or removing the lenses.
(2) Removing the lenses from the packaging
• Be careful to avoid cutting your hand against the packaging or label
while opening the container.
• Remove the lens gently from the packaging by pressing the lens
against the pad of your index finger. Be careful to avoid damaging the
lens. Alternatively, turn the blister packaging upside down and empty
the lens together with the storage solution into your parm.
• Inspect the lens to determine which lens is for the right eye and which
lens is for the left eye. Check to determine the inside and outside of the
lenses. The lenses should be free of any deformation.
(3) Inserting the lens
1) Place the lens on your index finger. Pull down
your lower eyelid with the middle finger of the
same hand and pull up on the upper eyelid with
the index finger of the opposite hand. Placing
your fingers on your eyelash line helps you
open your eye wider.
2) Look into the mirror so that the cornea comes
into the center of the eye. Slowly bring the lens
close to your eye and put it gently in place
while looking into the mirror. If you look upward
in this time, you cannot center the lens on the
cornea correctly.
3) When you have correctly placed the lens on the cornea, slowly
release your index finger and then release the fingers holding the
eyelids in the order of the lower eyelid and upper eyelid.
If you release your fingers quickly or blink, the lens may move or fall
out.
4) Check in the mirror to confirm that the lens is in front of the cornea.
Also, cover the opposite eye with your hand to check the vision in
your right and left eyes.
5) Follow the same procedure to insert the lens in your other eye.
(4) Removing the lens
1) Check the position of the lens in the mirror.
2) Facing forward, raise the mirror and examine
the eye in the mirror.
3) Gently pull your lower lid down and move the
lens down with the index finger of the same
hand.
4) In this position, gently take hold of the bottom
of the lens to remove the lens with the pads of
thumb and index finger.
