Contact Lens Eyecare

---

Warning: Even though all WildEyes color contact lenses are mailed in a sterile container and factory sealed, if you do not use good hygiene or use the recommended solutions as instructed, you may give yourself an eye infection. Also, only open the contact lens vials after you have obtained the proper contact lens solutions (see #2 below) and a lens storage case. Do not share your color contacts with others or use their color contact lenses. We also recommend the following:

1. Before handling contact lenses you should always wash your hands and be sure to clean your contact lenses after each removal.

2. Clean, rinse, disinfect and soak your contact lenses with either Alcon's "OPTIFREE Express" solution or Bausch & Lomb's "RENU" solution, to keep them clean and sterile when you are not wearing the contact lenses. These solutions can be bought in any drug store.

3. Put on your contact lenses before applying make-up and after using hair spray and do not wear contact lenses while swimming.

4. Do not wear contact lenses if your eyes hurt, if your eyes get sensitive to light, if your eyes get red, or if your vision blurs. Seek professional care immediately if you stop wearing the contact lenses and your eyes do not improve. You may be getting an eye infection and need treatment.

5. If one eye starts to bother you more than the other, place the left lens on the right eye and the right lens on the left eye, for a few minutes, to determine if your eye is getting irritated from over-wearing the contact lenses or your lens is going bad. If, during the switch, the opposite eye starts to bother you, something is wrong with that lens. Be sure the contact lens is not inside out, and try cleaning the contact lens also. If cleaning doesn't help, the contact lens will probably need to be replaced and returned to the correct eye, but if the same eye continues to bother you, give your eyes a rest, you probably are over-wearing the contact lens.

6. It is not uncommon to notice a slight blur to your side vision when first wearing color contact lenses. This is normal and is caused by the colors in the lens. You will adjust to it quickly if just ignore it.

7. Dry and/or dirty contact lenses from not enough blinking causes most wearing problems. Clean your contact lenses each time they are removed from your eyes or once a week at least and try to blink more. Blink at least once every 5 seconds which is the normal bllink rate. Another common cause is wearing contact lenses that are worn out or damaged and should be replaced. Handle the contact lenses with care. Soft contact lenses are very delicate and tear easily.
