Keep in mind, you also need to visit your eye doctor on your regular appointments, as your eye examinations are still very important - even though your contact lenses may not affect you or bother you at all. Even though most extended wear contact lenses aren t high in price, you should still look for the best deals. Always keep in mind that no one is perfect, it takes all of us time to get good at it. Below, are a few tips that will help you with inserting and removing your contacts. Putting your contacts in Before you put your hands on your contacts, you should make sure that you clean your hands thoroughly, and that you dry them off. If you soak them in water it could damage the material, which could in turn damage your eyes. Depending on the type of contacts and brand you have, you should pick the solution accordingly. The solution you use shouldn t burn your eyes, or cause you to feel any type of discomfort. When you go to your optician to have your eyes fitted for contacts, be sure to ask about gas permeable contacts. If you are new to contact lenses, you should ask your optician or staff any questions that come to mind. Normally, after you have been fitted for contact lenses, the optician and his staff will show you how to put your contacts in, how to care for them, and anything else you need to know about them. Taking care of your contact isn t hard to do. When wearing glasses, this is one problem you won t have. If your eyes start to dry out when wearing your contacts, you should put a few drops of re-wetting or saline solution in your eyes. These drops will help to moisten your eyes and give you some relief from the irritation that dryness causes. All in all, contact lenses are preferred over glasses. The first thing to do when cleaning your hard contacts is to take the lens out of your eye and put it in the center of your hand. You should have your cleaner out, and ready to use anytime you are looking to clean your lenses. Once you have the lens in the palm of your hand, squirt a couple of cleaning drops into the center of the lens.
