Eyes :: Soft contact lenses – care tips

If you wear soft contact lenses, you should:

* Stop using Bausch and Lomb ReNu with MoistureLoc products immediately and discard all remaining MoistureLoc solution including partially used or opened bottles.

* Consult your doctor about choosing an appropriate alternative cleaning/disinfecting product.

* Consider performing a “rub and rinse” lens cleaning method, rather than a no rub method, regardless of which cleaning/disinfecting solution used, in order to minimize the number of germs and reduce the chances of infection.

* Continue to follow proper lens care practices:

o Wash your hands with soap and water, and dry (lint-free method) them before handling your lenses.

o Wear and replace your lenses according to the schedule prescribed by your doctor.

o Follow instructions from your doctor and your solution manufacturer for cleaning and storing your lenses.

o Keep your contact lens case clean and replace every 3-6 months.

* Remove the lenses and consult your doctor immediately if you experience symptoms such as redness, pain, tearing, increased light sensitivity, blurry vision, discharge or swelling.
