5 tips to take care of your eyes if you wear contact lenses every day

👁️🗨️ Because it's not just about looking good, it's about feeling good

Wearing contact lenses every day is a convenience, but also a responsibility. Eye health is delicate, and neglecting certain habits can lead to discomfort, dryness, or eye fatigue. At OpticVue, we offer 5 simple but essential tips to keep your eyes healthy, even with prolonged contact lens wear.

1. Don't extend the life of your contact lenses

It may seem obvious, but many people reuse daily contact lenses or extend their monthly use longer than necessary. This can affect eye oxygenation and cause irritation. Use each pair for the recommended length of time and always change them on time.

2. Wash your hands well before handling them

It may seem like a minor detail, but the eyes are a direct entry point for bacteria. Wash your hands with soap and water and dry them well before inserting or removing your contact lenses.

3. Don't sleep with them (unless they are made for that)

Sleeping in contact lenses that aren't designed for extended wear reduces oxygen flow to the eye and can cause infections. It's always best to remove them before bed and let your eyes rest, too.

4. Rest your eyes from time to time

Especially if you work in front of a screen. Alternate wearing glasses at home, blink more often, and use artificial tears if you notice dryness.

5. Check your eyes regularly

Even if you buy your contact lenses at a pharmacy or online, continue to visit your optician or ophthalmologist at least once a year. A prompt checkup can prevent long-term problems.

🧘♀️ Your eyes notice it

Small gestures can make a big difference in your daily life. At OpticVue, we believe that comfort is also synonymous with care. Our contact lenses are designed to accompany you every day without compromising your visual well-being.
