What are rewetting drops?

Most contact lens rewetting drops can be used PRN (as needed). It is important to select drops that have been approved for use with soft contact lenses. Rewetting drops help maintain good hydration of the lenses and the cornea, ensuring more soothing lens wear. COMPLETE® brand Lubricating and Rewetting Drops contain a proven ophthalmic lubricant for additional lens wearing comfort. Using the entire line of a manufacturer's lens care system ensures optimal compatibility of ingredients and helps minimize any possible ocular irritation.

How often do I need to replace my lens case?

Replace your lens case at least every 3 months for good hygiene-the case can be a source of bacterial and fungal growth.

I replace my contact lenses every 2 weeks. Do I still need cleaning products?

Yes, it is still essential to clean and disinfect disposable lenses daily to maintain good hygiene and keep eyes healthy.

Can I wear my contact lenses in the pool?

No. Swimming while wearing contact lenses is generally discouraged by most doctors due to water-borne microbes and risk of eye infection. In addition, your lenses may fall out of your eyes while swimming.

Is a daily cleaner really necessary?

Yes. Mucin from the eye and stubborn stains, such as makeup and dirt from the atmosphere, need to be removed to allow effective disinfection and keep the lenses clean and comfortable.

My eyes are sore and red.What should I do?

If eyes become sore, remove your lenses and clean and disinfect them. As appropriate, use an enzymatic cleaner for protein removal or replace lens to make sure the lenses are as clean as possible. If the problem persists, seek help from your eye care provider.

Can I wear makeup with contact lenses?

Yes, but try to avoid getting makeup on your lenses and always insert your lenses before applying eye color and mascara. If possible, choose creams rather than powders and avoid metallic powders, which may cause irritation.

Can contact lenses get lost in my eyes?

Although it is possible for a lens to be decentered and temporarily hard to locate on the eye, it is impossible for contact lenses to move behind the eye. Don't panic if they do slip out of place; it is easy to slide them back into position. If you can't feel or see where the lens has gone, look carefully under the upper lid. If you cannot remove the lens directly, gently shut your eye and move your lens into place by massaging gently through your lid.

Can I sleep with my contacts in?

Unless otherwise directed by your eye care provider, do not sleep in your lenses because this inhibits the amount of oxygen getting to your cornea and increases the chances of infection.

If I use a multi-purpose solution that contains a built-in protein remover, do I still need a weekly enzymatic cleaner?

MPS products that remove protein daily help prevent deposits from forming and make enzymatic cleaning unnecessary for most lens wearers. Unlike MPS products, an enzyme is an intensive cleaner that "restores" cleanliness if, or when, problems occur as lenses age. If you wear disposable or planned replacement lenses (used for 1 week to 3 months, depending on design and brand), it is unlikely that you will need to use an enzymatic cleaner. However, if you intend to use the same pair of lenses for over 3 months, or if you wear extended/ flexible-wear soft contacts, or if heavy deposits form on your lenses, or you frequently experience discomfort, you may benefit from using a weekly enzymatic cleaner. You should always consult with your eye care provider for a cleaning regimen appropriate for you.
