On Caring For Sacramento Contact Lenses

By Nancy Gardner


Contact lens should only be won following a prescription from your doctor. This also applies even if the purpose of wearing them is other than for visual correction. During eye examination, the optician will access your eyes health, myopia, hyperopia and astigmatism. Your visual acuity has to get assessed too before Sacramento contact lenses are prescribed.

When wearing them, hand washing comes first. The hands have to be dried after washing. Using the dominant hand the lens is held at the tip using the pointer finger and then the middle finger is used to pull down the lower eyelid.

The index finger of the other hand is used to elevate the eyelid at the top. While gazing upwards, the lens is placed on the white eye region and the lids released by removal of index fingers. Closing the eyes for a brief period allows lens to be positioned well inside the eye.

In removal, hand washing precedes. They should be dried well before the process is begun. You should first look up and then pull down the posterior eyelid using the middle finger of the principal hand. The pointer finger is utilized to grasp the lens and after squeezing lens between it and the thumb, removal of the contact lens is done carefully. The eye is a very sensitive organ and the lens is a very delicate device. So, a lot of caution should be taken during the process.

The disposable ones are meant for a single use. This saves you the hassle of cleaning and storage of other types of contact lens. However, the processes are not that hard as long as the instructions provided by the professional are followed. There are solutions in the market designed for use in soaking, rinsing, cleaning, and conditioning, disinfecting and removing proteins from lens.

To avoid discomforts and maintain eye health during the use of these lens, there are some procedures to be done. The first one is cleaning the lenses and this should be done by putting a cleanser solution drop on each of the lenses side and rubbing gently for twenty second. This is followed by rinsing which should last for five seconds.

In storage, they are soaked for at least four hours in the cleanser solution. The solution is never to be reused. It should be discarded immediately after use. After doing all this, you can go ahead and put on lens again. If you notice any remaining debris, just rinse them before inserting them into the eyes.

They should be put into a closed case meant for storing lenses if they are not in use. Saline solution should not be used for soaking them. Only the commercially made solutions designed for this purpose are to be used. The saline is not effective in disinfection process. They can remain in the case for up to thirty days if not in use. After this duration, they should be taken out for cleaning and disinfection even if they will not be used immediately. Another important thing you should observe is monthly replacement of the lens case.
