Is it necessary to use care solution for cosmetic contact lenses?

In daily life, we often wear colored contact lenses, which come in many colors. Wearing them will make our eyes look big and bright. At the same time, the care of contact lenses is also very important. After wearing contact lenses, we should put them in care solution and clean them. This way, we will not feel uncomfortable when we wear them next time. Let’s talk about how to clean contact lenses.

When wearing cosmetic contact lenses, you must insist on careful care and maintenance, and cosmetic contact lens care solution is a special solution for cleaning, disinfecting and preserving cosmetic contact lenses. The correct way to use the contact lens care solution:

The first step is to carefully read the product instructions of the contact lens care solution before use, then cut long nails and wash your hands with soap.

Step 2: Place the contact lens on the palm of your left hand, add a few drops of care solution, and then use the tip of your right index finger to gently rub back and forth in a straight line for about 20 to 30 times.

Step 3: After rubbing the lenses, rinse them with care solution or saline.

Step 4: Soak the washed contact lenses in a lens box containing care products for at least 4 hours. The solution used to soak the lenses must be replaced every two or three days to maintain the sterilization effect.

Step 5. If you need to wear the contact lenses again, it is best to rinse them with saline, because some care solutions such as hydrogen peroxide will irritate the eyes if worn directly.

In addition, it is very important to disinfect the lenses after removing them, including rubbing the front and back of the lenses several times with your fingers, rinsing them thoroughly with fresh care solution to prevent pathogenic microorganisms from sticking to the lenses, and soaking the lenses in the lens box with fresh care solution for a period of time to disinfect them. Replacement or disposable contact lenses should be replaced with new lenses within the recommended time and should not be used any longer. Never reuse used disinfectant or full-function care solution. The care solution used for storage and soaking in the lens case should be discarded immediately after use. Regardless of whether the contact lenses are used that day, fresh care solution should be replaced every day. A dirty mirror box is an important source of contamination. Rinse the mirror box every day and let it air dry naturally for next use. The lens case should be replaced at least every 3 months.

Note: Whether it is the "no-rub" care solution or the "four-in-one all-purpose care solution", you must rub the lenses with your hands; also, do not use the cosmetic contact lens care solution as eye drops.
