Welcome to a world of clear vision and comfort with Heylens monthly contact lenses! We care your eye health as much as you do. To ensure you make the most of your lens-wearing experience, proper care and maintenance are crucial. In this guide, we'll walk you through essential tips to keep your monthly contact lenses clean, comfortable, and your eyes healthy. 💧

 

  1. Wash Your Hands Thoroughly
Before handling your monthly contact lenses, it's imperative to wash your hands with mild soap and water. This helps prevent transferring dirt, oils, or bacteria onto your lenses, reducing the risk of irritation or infection.

 

2. Use Multipurpose Contact Lens Solution
Use multipurpose contact lens solution recommended by your eye care professional. Make sure to never use water or saliva, as these can introduce harmful microorganisms to your lenses. Follow the instructions on the solution for proper usage.

 

  3. Clean and Rinse Your Lenses Every Time

Before inserting or removing your monthly contact lenses, ensure to clean and rinse them with the recommended solution. Gently rub the lenses between your fingers to remove any debris or protein buildup, then rinse thoroughly to avoid discomfort.

  4. Store Lenses Properly

Use a clean contact lens case and fill it with fresh solution each time you store your lenses. Replace your case every 2 months to prevent bacterial growth. Avoid using tap water in the case, as it may contain impurities that are harmful to your lenses and eyes.

  5. Follow the Wearing Schedule

Adhere to the recommended wearing schedule provided by your eye care professional. Monthly contact lenses are designed for 30 days extended wear, and exceeding the suggested time may compromise your eye health.  

  6. Attend Regular Eye Check-ups

Regular eye check-ups are essential to monitor the health of your eyes and ensure your prescription is up-to-date. Your eye care professional can detect any issues early on and provide guidance on maintaining optimal eye health. 

  7. Handle Lenses with Care

When handling your monthly contact lenses, be gentle. Avoid using sharp objects or fingernails that could damage the lenses. Additionally, always apply cosmetics after inserting your lenses to prevent makeup particles from getting trapped. 

  8. Be Mindful of Environmental Factors

Consider your surroundings when wearing monthly contact lenses. Avoid exposing your eyes to smoke, excessive wind, or pollutants. When swimming, use water-tight goggles to protect your lenses from waterborne contaminants.

 

By incorporating these tips into your routine, you can enjoy clear vision and comfortable wear with your monthly contact lenses. Remember, proper care and maintenance not only extend the life of your lenses but also contribute to the overall health of your eyes. If you ever have concerns or questions, consult your eye care professional. Here's to happy and healthy eyes! ✨
