In an effort to supply information to consumers on better eye health, CooperVision is proud to provide general eye care information. In this section, we will explain how the human eye works and define some of the most common vision conditions. We've also included a "did you know" section that focuses on common concerns and questions about eye care and contact lenses.

While this information is helpful, it should not be construed as medical advice. For more detailed explanation on any of the topics in this section, please consult your eye care professional.

To meet the needs of all types of contact wearers and their vision conditions, CooperVision offers a variety of contact lenses. Our Frequency® family features a monthly replacement program and for those who suffer from dry eyes our Proclear lenses are available. If you wish to have the convenience of a daily lens then why not try our BioMedics 1 day. And for the fashion conscious, Expressions cosmetic soft contact lenses give you the power to change your eye colour.

Lens Care Tips

When wearing contact lenses always follow the instructions for cleaning, storing and replacement given to you by your eye care professional.

Evidence Suggests Proper Lens Care is Paramount to avoid Fungal Eye Infections

• carefully follow the contact lens wearing and replacement instructions recommended by eye care practitioners;
• carefully follow the care and cleaning regimens recommended by eye care practitioners and outlined in the patient information material that comes with the lens-care products;
• use the proper product to both clean and disinfect contact lenses (saline solutions and rewetting drops are not designed to disinfect lenses);
• choose a well-known, respected lens-care brand purchased from a reputable merchant to avoid unreliable, unregulated products;
• never reuse lens-care products; discard used product and only use fresh solution to ensure proper cleaning and disinfection;
• contact an eye care practitioner immediately if you experience eye pain, discharge, unusual redness, light sensitivity or sudden blurry vision.

Caring for your contact lenses is important to the health of your eyes.  Lenses start to feel uncomfortable when protein deposits form on the lens’ surface. These deposits, found naturally in the tear fluid of your eyes, accumulate on the lens over a period of weeks and months. Should the lens become uncomfortable contact your optician.
