Do not use tap water to rinse or store lenses. Tap water contains chlorine, minerals and metal particles, which can damage both the lenses and the eye. Most importantly, water contains micro-organisms, which can lead to serious infections of the eye.

Do not panic if your lens gets lost behind your eye. It should work itself around to where you can see it. If the lens does not work itself around, try putting some eye drops or a few drops of saline solution into your eye. Next, look up, down and from side to side to attempt to move the lens. You can also close your eyes and gently move your finger over your eyelids around the socket of the eye to reposition the lens. This may help move the lens to where you can see it more easily.

Put in your contact lenses before applying makeup.

Take out your contact lenses before removing makeup.

Remove your lenses immediately if you develop unusual pain, experience stinging, redness, unusual blurred vision, discharge or light sensitivity. If lens is damaged, do not put the lens back on your eye.
