When should you take your contact lenses out?
Your lenses look best on eyes that feel good. Knowing when to take them out is the easiest way to keep it that way.
How many hours a day?
Your april. lenses are comfortable for up to 10 hours. Treat that as your daily limit, not a target. If you put them on at 10 am for work or college, plan to take them out by early evening.
If your eyes feel dry, tired or scratchy before then, take them out sooner. Comfort is the signal to listen to.
Always take them out before you sleep
Never nap or sleep in your lenses, even for a short time. Health experts say sleeping in contact lenses makes an eye infection 6 to 8 times more likely.
If you do fall asleep in them:
- Take them out as soon as you wake up. Don't pull if they feel stuck.
- Blink a few times or use lubricating eye drops, wait a few minutes, then try again.
- Give your eyes a full day off lenses.
Take them out before water
Remove your lenses before you shower, swim or wash your face. Tap water and pool water can carry germs that cling to lenses.
Take them out straight away if...
- your eye turns red or keeps watering
- you feel pain that doesn't settle after a short time
- your vision becomes blurry
If any of these continue after the lens is out, see an eye doctor the same day.
After you take them out
Clean each lens with lens solution, then store it in a clean case filled with fresh solution. Never top up old solution or use tap water. Our Multi-Purpose Contact Lens Solution cleans, rinses and stores your lenses in one step.
Your lenses last up to 12 months
