How to Clean Contact Lenses for Safe Use?

Although it has many advantages in terms of care, contact lenses require more attention than glasses. Contact lens conditions should always be hygienic so as not to cause health problems like eye infections and other vision complications. Here are some ways to clean contact lenses:

1. Always wash and dry your hands before installing or removing your contact lenses.
2. Remove contact lenses before bathing or swimming. Keep your contact lenses out of the water.
3. Try to always remove contact lenses before sleeping. It is not advisable to wear contact lenses continuously. When we close our eyes with contact lenses that remain in the eye, the amount of oxygen to the eyes is getting thinner. This causes the eye surface to be susceptible to infection. In addition, the germs in the lens will stick in the cornea during sleep.
4. Use a special cleaning fluid that your doctor or pharmacy advises to clean and soak your contact lenses. Do not use water or other liquids, because seawater, pond water, even distilled water, may contain acanthamoeba organisms that can cause the eye to become infected.
5. Rub gently as you clean the contact lenses using a cleaning fluid. Be careful not to tear the contact lenses.
6. Clean contact lenses after use and contact lens storage box every three months to keep it clean. 
7. If you wear disposable contact lenses, you do not need to clean it because the lens is not designed for re-use. Never use disposable contact lenses more than a day.

Immediately consult a doctor if your eyes are likely to experience interference from contact lenses. Characterized by irritation, continuous excrement, swelling, pain and tenderness, redness, vision impaired, or sensitivity to light.
