Care for Contact Lenses

Taking proper care of your contact lenses helps reduce your risk of eye infection. The American Academy of Ophthalmology suggests these tips for healthier eyes:

  • If you have swelling, redness, discharge, blurriness, tearing or increased sensitivity to light, take out your contact lenses immediately and see an ophthalmologist.
  • Don't smoke. 
  • Avoid decorative lenses commonly sold at costume shops. These lenses may cause eye damage. 
  • Have your eyes examined at least once annually.

If you have questions about your eye health, contact your ophthalmologist.
