Introduction
Care methods for contact lens are essential for wearing them correctly and lowering the infection risk. An optometrist will carefully choose the care system based on the type of lens you are wearing, the materials you are using, and your habits. Depending on the manufacturer, these kinds of contact lens solutions all have various usage guidelines. See the package insert or an optometrist for information on utilizing your lens care system.
Interactions between lens materials and contact lens solutions may impact the cleaning procedure. Since new lens materials have distinct chemical compositions from previous lens materials, generic (or store-brand) contact lens solutions may not work well with them. Before adjusting, speak with an optometrist to make sure the new contact lens care regimen is safe for the specific contact lens type you wear.
Although there are numerous varieties of contact lens care systems, the two most common kinds are hydrogen peroxide care solutions and multipurpose care solutions. Your solution for gas permeable (GP) lenses can be hydrogen peroxide, a one-step (multipurpose) solution for cleaning and soaking.
Do I need to rub my contact lenses when I remove them?
Yes, provided that you are wearing a soft lens type and a multipurpose solution (at this time, there are no suggested "no-rub" multipurpose contact lens solution regimens). Depending on your contact lens care solution, rubbing the contact lens for two to twenty seconds will eliminate deposits and microorganisms and lessen difficulties. After rubbing, thoroughly rinse with a solution for the amount of time recommended by the manufacturer, which is often five to ten seconds.
