Are contact lenses difficult to look after?
Developments in lens care products make it easy to keep your contact lenses clean and safe from harmful bacteria. A few simple steps should result in trouble-free use:
  1. Clean your contact lenses daily.
    To remove dust, pollution and make-up that may accumulate during daily wear.
  2. Disinfect your contact lenses daily.
    To ensure lenses are free from any micro-organisms still on the lens after cleaning.
There are now one-step solutions available making the hygiene routine even easier. Daily disposable contact lenses are for single use only and therefore do not require cleaning solutions. After wear, these lenses are just simply discarded!
Is it painful to put something in your eye?
No. Disposable contact lenses are extremely soft and, although strange at first, most wearers find them to be very comfortable. Rigid gas permeable lenses feel no worse than having an eyelash in your eyes at first. If you experience prolonged irritation you should remove the lenses and contact the practice for further assistance.
