Wake up, you may have been using the wrong contact lens care solution!


In the process of wearing contact lenses, the care solution can be called the "invisible guardian". This special liquid is used every day, but many people may completely use it wrong! Today, we will talk about how to use contact lens care solution properly.
The function of lens care solution is multifaceted, not only to sterilize and disinfect but also to remove protein deposits and continuously provide moisture for the lenses, offering a 'moisturizing service' for contact lenses. However, this does not mean that a bottle of lens care solution can solve all problems. While it has inherent cleaning properties, simply soaking the lenses in it is not enough to effectively address the issue. To thoroughly remove proteins, lipids, and other deposits, it is necessary to combine the use of rubbing and rinsing procedures.
Throughout the entire care process, the care solution must never be reused. Used care solutions contain bacteria, viruses, and other impurities that are invisible to the naked eye. Reusing the solution can not only contaminate the lenses but also cause them to lose their antibacterial properties, leaving the contact lenses exposed to a heavy layer of bacteria. When rinsing and soaking the lenses, you must use fresh care solution, and each soaking session should last at least 6 hours to ensure the solution is fully effective.
Does the care solution have an expiration date? Yes, it does! The shelf life of the care solution is typically only three months after opening. Once exposed to air, its effectiveness gradually diminishes, so it's important to discard it promptly once it expires. If you're concerned about using up a large bottle of care solution, rinsing and disinfecting your contact lens case with the solution can be a good way to use it up and prevent bacterial growth.
Choosing the right care solution can significantly reduce eye discomfort. When selecting from a variety of care solutions, remember these three key principles: First, the simpler the function, the safer it is, and it is less likely to cause allergies; Second, preservative-free formulas are more gentle and can reduce irritation to the cornea; Third, ensure that the solution has the necessary medical device qualifications and certifications, and choose genuine care solutions. Remember, making the right choice for your care solution is essential for ensuring that your contact lenses are both comfortable and safe!
