Contact Lens Wear and Care

If you wear contacts and experience Contact Lens Dryness, a few things could be going on:

  • Do you know that you should not be wearing your contacts for longer than recommended? Wearing your contact lenses longer than recommended can cause serious side effects.
  • Have you cleaned your lenses according to the instructions specific to the contact lens solution you use?
  • Have you switched solutions? Remember, not all solutions are the same.
  • Are you in a room with air conditioning on?
  • Have you traveled to a dry environment?

What can you do:

If you said yes to any of these questions, start by making sure you’re adhering to the proper wear cycle of your lenses and practicing proper contact lens care. During wear, you can help hydrate your lenses by using contact lens drops, such as:

You can use Blink Contacts® Lubricating Eye Drops or if you notice build up impacting clarity of vision, try Blink-N-Clean® Lens Drops.
