Manual of how to put on and take off Contact Lenses

This blog is specially for patients that struggle with contact lens teaches or are curious about the process. As certified Opticians, we are not allowed to let patients take contact lenses without them being 100% comfortable with the whole process of putting them on and taking them off. The following videos approach different types of teaches with different types of lenses, so if you are interested in having contact lenses, you can check the process before getting your appointment booked.

Contact lenses can make life easier too. If you or your children are active people that play sports, you certainly know by now that specs can be a little bit of an issue. Wearing contacts might be a more comfortable and safer way to do so. Nowadays, there are contact lenses for every one, from single vision, to multifocal and even to help children with Myopia Control!
If we managed to get you interested in contact lenses, why not give us a call and obtain more info about it? You can Find our contacts bellow the videos!

How do I maintain contact lenses?

Always wash your hands thoroughly with soap and water before handling your contact lenses. This will help to prevent the transfer of bacteria and other contaminants to your lenses.
Clean your contact lenses with a disinfecting solution as directed by your eye care provider or the lens manufacturer. There are different types of disinfecting solutions available, including multipurpose solutions, hydrogen peroxide-based systems, and enzymatic cleaners.
Rub and rinse your contact lenses with the cleaning solution for the recommended amount of time, and then place them in a clean storage case filled with fresh disinfecting solution.
Replace your contact lens case at least once every three months, or more frequently if it becomes damaged or discolored.
Avoid sleeping or napping while wearing contact lenses unless they are specifically designed for overnight wear.
