Taking Care of Your Contacts

When contact lenses are discussed, people generally discuss their advantages but most commonly ignore how to take care of them. To take care of your contact lens is as important as its use. This care mainly depends upon the type of lens you are wearing. There are many ways of cleaning but you should keep in mind that simple cleaning should not be your aim. The main objective should be disinfection of your lenses. Most of them are made of synthetic material, so they are subject to a building up of micro-organisms and deposits on them. If such unwanted things are not removed, they can spoil the surface of your precious lens. It also results in the reduction of comfort and negatively affects your vision. Sometimes users are victims of contamination but they don’t know the real problem behind it and as a result, instead of getting benefit from a luxury, they get loss.

The only remedy to this condition is to take care of your contact lenses regularly. You can seek the suggestion of your eye specialist in this regard. He may recommend you some types of solutions, which are not only compatible with the lens materials but also with the eye itself.

A general misconception regarding cleaning of contact lens is that it can be cleaned with simple plain water but this is an absolutely wrong conception. Normal tap water contains chlorine, minerals and metal particles, which are highly dangerous for both the lenses and the eyes. Moreover the tap water is unfiltered. The unpurified water also contains organisms which can lead to serious infections of the eye. Some people prefer to use saline water to clean their contact lens; but it is still not safe because you don’t know the composition which can do harm to your lens as well as to your eye.
