Lens care and safety

Before you start

• Get an eye exam and a valid contact lens prescription, even if your vision is perfect.
• Colored lenses are medical devices: they need the right fit for your eyes.

Every day

• Wash and dry your hands before touching your lenses.
• Store lenses in fresh multipurpose solution. Never use tap water or saliva.
• Put lenses in before makeup and take them out before removing makeup.
• Remove lenses before sleeping, swimming or showering.
• Never share lenses with anyone.

Replacement

Replace lenses on the schedule printed on the box and replace the lens case regularly.

When to stop

Remove your lenses and see an eye doctor right away if you notice redness, eye pain that does not go away, light sensitivity or blurred vision. The FDA notes that poorly fitted or misused lenses can cause infections and serious eye injury.
