If you experience any eye strain, get your eyes checked at Vision Care free of cost. Follow these guidelines to maintain healthy eyes while using contact lenses and cosmetics:

  • Use cosmetics labeled "hypoallergenic," "for contact lens wearers," or "for sensitive eyes."
  • Do not sleep with your lenses on.
  • Do not use tap water to clean your lenses.
  • Do not boil your lenses or your lens case.
  • Avoid cheap or unknown brands.
  • Wash hands thoroughly with a non-additive soap before handling your lenses.
  • Apply cosmetics after inserting lenses.
  • Remove lenses before removing makeup.
  • Use water-soluble cosmetics.
  • Avoid creamy or oily makeup or makeup remover.
  • Use soft pencil eyeliners and apply outside the lash line.
  • Use water-based, "water-resistant" mascara (not "waterproof").
  • Use pressed powder eye shadows.
  • Use aerosol products—hairspray, cologne, and deodorant—before inserting lenses.
  • Never share cosmetics or applicator brushes.
  • Replace eyeliner, mascara, and mascara brushes every three months.
  • Don’t expose cosmetics to heat.
  • Never apply eye makeup when you are in motion.
  • Don’t use water or saliva to lubricate applicators or thin cosmetics.
  • Don’t apply cosmetics if your eyes are red, swollen, or infected. See your ophthalmologist if symptoms persist.
How To Take Care Of Your Spectacle Lenses

Proper care of your spectacles can extend their lifespan and maintain their clarity. Follow these tips for optimal lens care:

  • Keep your lenses and frames clean. Use only an approved optical lens-cleaning cloth.
  • Occasionally clean your lenses by dipping them into warm, soapy water and then rinsing them under running water. To dry, gently pat them with a lens cloth.
  • Always wet your lenses before cleaning them. Wiping lenses dry may cause scratches.
  • Store your eyewear in a spectacle case. Open the case fully and gently pull them out. Sliding them in and out may dull the lenses.
  • Use both hands to take your spectacles off, applying even pressure on both earpieces.
  • Do not place your glasses face down on a hard surface.
  • Use a soft and clean tissue or cloth to wipe your glasses.
  • Avoid leaving your glasses in the car exposed to direct sunlight.
  • Do not wear your glasses in a sauna or steam bath.
  • Avoid exposing your glasses to hot air or boiling water directly.
  • If you have any eye irritation, visit Vision Care for a thorough eye checkup, free of charge.
