Proper aftercare is essential for safe and comfortable contact lens wear. Whether you are selling to end consumers or educating your brand customers, these guidelines help prevent complications and ensure customer satisfaction.

Daily Care Routine

Before Insertion

1. Wash hands thoroughly: Use soap and water, dry with lint-free towel
2. Inspect the lens: Check for tears, debris, or damage
3. Use fresh solution: Never reuse old solution
4. Check orientation: Lens should form a perfect “U” shape, not “V”

After Removal

1. Clean immediately: Rub lens gently with solution (even for no-rub solutions)
2. Rinse thoroughly: Remove all debris and protein buildup
3. Store properly: Submerge in fresh solution in clean case
4. Replace case: Every 3 months minimum

Solution Types

Multipurpose Solution (MPS)

Best for: Daily wear, convenience

• Cleans, rinses, disinfects, and stores
• One-bottle system
• Most common and affordable

Hydrogen Peroxide System

Best for: Sensitive eyes, deep cleaning

• Superior disinfection
• No preservatives
• Requires neutralization (6+ hours)
• Cannot be used for direct rinsing

Daily Disposable

Best for: Convenience, hygiene, travel

• No cleaning required
• Fresh lens every day
• Higher cost per wear
• Reduced infection risk

Common Mistakes to Avoid

❌ Water Exposure

Never expose lenses to tap water, swimming pools, or showers. Water can contain Acanthamoeba, a serious infection risk.

❌ Sleeping in Lenses

Unless specifically approved for extended wear, sleeping in lenses increases infection risk by 6-8x.

❌ Top-off Solution

Never add fresh solution to old solution. Always empty, clean, and refill the case.

❌ Using Expired Products

Check expiration dates on both lenses and solution. Expired products lose effectiveness.

❌ Ignoring Discomfort

If lenses feel uncomfortable, remove them immediately. Pushing through discomfort can lead to serious complications.

Travel Tips
