Lens Care Tips

IMPORTANT NEWS:

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

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

Press Release

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.

To ensure that contact lenses give their wearers optimum performance and superior comfort, CooperVision developed a convenient planned replacement lens program.  Proclear and Frequency® monthly planned replacement lenses can be worn for up to four weeks and then replaced.

With periodic checkups, planned replacement justifiably is considered the healthiest soft contact lens option available.

Whether you’re wearing a CooperVision planned replacement lens or a conventional lens, you should always follow your eye care professional’s prescribed cleaning regimen. Failure to do so could result in red eye, pain, light sensitivity, tearing, or sudden changes in vision.
