Taking Good Care of Your Contact lens (^_^)

Follow these guidelines Ior good care to extend the liIe oI your contact lenses, and protect the saIety and health oI
your eyes.

1. Always wash your hands with warm water and soap beIore handling your contact lenses or beIore touching your
eyes. Any residue Irom lotions, soaps, or chemicals may stick to the contact lens, causing pain, irritation, or blurred
vision when they are in your eyes. Dry your hands with a clean towel.

2. Wear your contact lenses as prescribed. Your eye doctor will recommend a wearing schedule speciIic to the type
oI contact lens you have selected. Only wear your contact lenses Ior the time recommended.

3. Clean and store your contact lenses as prescribed (in a clean case in Iresh solution). DiIIerent types oI contact
lenses require special care and certain types oI products. Always use the eye care products recommended by your
eye doctor. Some eye products or eye drops are not saIe Ior contact lens wearers.

4. Clean your contact lens case aIter each use with either sterile solution or hot tap water and let air dry.

5. Never use plain water directly on your contact lenses, and never put your contact lenses in your mouth to "rinse"
them. Microorganisms can live in even distilled water, causing inIection or sight damage.

6. Clean your contact lens by rubbing it gently with your index Iinger in the palm oI your hand. The newest "No
Rub" solutions allow you to rinse your contact lenses without rubbing.

7. II you develop an eye inIection (signs include redness, burning, or excessive tearing), remove your contact lenses
and discontinue use until you talk with your eye doctor. Wearing a contaminated pair oI contact lenses will invite
the inIection to remain. AIter resuming contact lens use, closely Iollow your doctor's instructions to help prevent
Iuture eye inIections.

8. Never wear another person's contact lenses, especially iI they have been worn beIore. Using other people's contact
lenses can spread any inIection or particles Irom their eyes to yours.

. Wearing contact lenses may cause your eyes to become more sensitive to sunlight. Wear sunglasses with total UV
protection and/or a wide brim hat when in the sun.

10. To keep your eyes lubricated, use a rewetting solution or plain saline solution.

11. Do not sleep with your contact lenses in your eyes unless you are prescribed "Extended Wear" contacts! While
the eyes are shut, tears cannot carry healthy amounts oI oxygen to the eye, like during the waking hours. As a result,
your contact lenses will become dry and stick to your eyes. II you accidentally do Iall asleep with your contact
lenses in, be sure to put eye drops in your eyes and wait a Iew minutes beIore trying to remove your contact lenses.

12. See your doctor annually to check your contact lens prescription.

13. Visit your eye doctor immediately iI you have any sudden vision loss, persistent blurred vision, light Ilashes, eye
pain, inIection, swelling, unusual redness, or irritation.

14. When Iirst wearing contact lenses you may be concerned about accidentally wearing them inside out. II this
happens, they cannot damage your eyes, but they will be uncomIortable. To avoid this, place your contact lens on
the tip oI your Iinger so that it is Iorming a cup. Look at the contact lens Irom the side. II the cup looks like it is
Ilaring out at the top and has a lip, your contact lens is inside out. II it looks like the letter "U", the contact lens is
right side out.

15. II you think you will have trouble remembering when to change your contact lenses, ask your eye doctor iI he or
she has a chart Ior patients to track their wearing schedule. II your doctor does not have one, you may want to
consider creating one on your own.

16. Put in your contact lenses beIore applying makeup to avoid contaminating your contact lens. When removing
your makeup be sure that you wash and dry your hands. Once you have done this, remove your contact lenses and
then remove your makeup.

17. Don't let the tip oI solution bottles touch other surIaces, including your Iingers, eyes, or contact lenses. The
solution can become contaminated.

Absolutely not. In the case oI the same material, thin lenses can increase the oxygen permeability rate, but the lens
easy to produce dry sense oI dehydration, improper operation is easy iI the adhesion, damage, need to be careIul
nursing. Lens eIIect oI a good Iit is to design, technology, materials and other parameters into consideration, not an
item the higher the better.

The diameter oI the lens (DIA)
Contact lenses lens diameter is deIined as the edge oI the corresponding straight-line distance between two points

Water content (W.C): What is water? Water content is higher the better?
Water content contact lens material is water saturated, the percentage oI the total weight oI water. Water content oI

Ior the selection oI products, can increase the sense oI wearing a real moist; and tear secretion less than normal, dry
eyes, choose the person is suitable Ior products with low water content, to avoid the lens and Eyes compete Ior
moisture, causing dry eyes. ThereIore, the water is not as high as possible, but may vary.

Oxygen transmission rate: oxygen through the thickness oI the lens to convey a certain capacity. Oxygen
transmission rate is to ensure healthy lens wear basis.

Contact lenses, "water"and"oxygen permeability rate " which is more important?
Wearing contact lenses can not simply look at whether the health oI water and oxygen permeability rate oI the
diIIerent lens materials, design, methods and even wear, will aIIect the perIormance oI the lens in the eye. Select

TIPS wearing Cntact Lens (^_^)

Many people new to contact lenses, and even some experienced wearers, have practical questions about contacts.
These tips can help you deal with everyday contact lens concerns.

Is My Contact Lens Inside ut?
A question many newbie wearers have is: "How can I tell iI my contact lens is inside-out?" How to know iI your
contact lens is inside out. The diIIerence can be subtle, but beIore placing a contact lens on your eye, make sure it
looks like halI a ball, not a soup bowl with a rim.The trick is to place the lens on your Iinger so that a cup is Iormed.
Then hold the lens up directly in Iront oI your eyes so you're looking at the side oI the cup.

II the lens Iorms a "U" with the top edges Ilared out, it's inside out. II it Iorms just a "U," it's in the correct position.
II you're wearing lenses with a handling tint, another way is to place the lens on your Iingertip and then look down
at it. The edge oI a tinted lens should look very blue (or green, depending on the tint); that won't be the case iI the
lens is inverted.

Some contact lenses also have a laser marking, such as the brand name, on the edge to help you. II you can read it
properly, the lens is not inside out. Don't worry iI you place a contact lens in your eye inside out. The lens will Ieel
uncomIortable, but it can't do any damage.

Applying Your Contact Lenses
Make sure you wash your hands thoroughly beIore applying your contact lenses, but avoid scented or oily soaps that
might adhere to the lens surIace. Especially avoid using products containing lanolin and moisturizing lotions. Some
eye doctors say to always apply the Iirst contact lens in the same eye, so you'll avoid the possibility oI mixing up
lenses Ior the right eye and leIt eye.

Other basic guidelines Ior contact lens application include:

VVGently shake your lens case containing the storage solution, to loosen the contact lens should it be stuck. (Don't
try pulling at the lens with your Iinger, or you might damage it.)

VVSlide the lens out oI its case and into the palm oI your hand. Rinse thoroughly with the appropriate contact lens
solution.

VVPlace the contact lens on the tip oI your index or middle Iinger, which should be dry or mostly dry.

VV With the Iingers and thumb oI your other hand, simultaneously pull up on your upper eyelid and down on your
lower eyelid.

VV Position the lens on your eye while looking upward or Iorward, whichever you Iind to be easier. You also can
apply the contact lens by placing it on the white oI the eye closest to your ear.

VVGently close your eye, roll your eyes in a complete circle to help the lens settle, and then blink.

VV Look closely in the mirror to make sure the lens is centered on your eye. II it is, the lens should be comIortable
and your vision should be clear.

Removing Your Contact Lenses
Always wash your hands beIore removing contact lenses. II you are standing in Iront oI a sink, use a clean paper
towel to cover the drain where the contact lens might accidentally Iall.

To remove soIt contact lenses, look upward or sideways while you pull down on your lower eyelid. With a Iinger,
gently maneuver the lens onto the white oI your eye. There, you can very gently pinch the lens together with your
index Iinger and thumb and liIt it oII the eye. Until you master contact lens removal, you might want to keep your
Iingernails short to avoid accidentally scratching and damaging your eye.

Rigid contact lenses can be removed by holding out the palm oI your hand, bending over, and then opening your eye
wide. With one Iinger oI your other hand, pull the skin between your upper and lower eyelid (just outside the lateral
aspect oI your eye) outward toward your ear with your eye wide open. Then blink. The contact lens should pop right
out and into your open palm.

Devices Ior removing contact lenses, called "plungers," also are available Irom your eye doctor, and can be used to
touch and directly remove a lens Irom your eye. Just make sure you touch only the lens and not your eye's surIace
with these devices.

While you might hear a myth or two about someone "losing" a contact lens in the back oI the eye, this is actually
impossible because oI a membrane that connects your eye to the back oI your eyelid.

Contact Lenses and UV Ligt
Researchers have linked ultraviolet (UV) light to the Iormation oI cataracts. Exposure to excessive UV light also
may result in a condition called photokeratitis.

That's why some contact lenses now contain a UV-blocking agent. You can't tell iI a contact lens has a UV blocker
just by looking at it the blocking agent is clear, so as not to disturb vision. The contact lens packaging will
speciIy iI the product has a UV blocker, or you can ask your eye doctor.

Very important: UV-blocking contacts are not meant to replace sunglasses. A contact lens covers only your cornea,
not your entire eye. However, UV-blocking contact lenses do help protect the portion oI the white oI your eye that is
covered Irom Iormation oI growths such as pingueculae and pterygia.

Sunglasses with UV protection can cover more oI your eye and the parts oI your Iace that surround the eye,
depending on the size oI the sunglass lens. That's why contacts with UV blockers are designed to complement
sunglass use as an added protection.
