How do I handle contact lenses safely?

Always wash your hands before handling, inserting, or removing contact lenses. If you wear dailies, they're for one-time use only! That means once you take them out, you throw them out. If you wear bi-weekly, monthlies, or other specialized contacts, you can visit your nearest FYidoctors location to find out more about how to ensure proper handling and hygiene practices.

How do you put in contact lenses for beginners?

Wash hands thoroughly, place the lens on your fingertip, use your other hand to hold your eyelid open, look up and gently place the lens on your eye, then slowly close your eye and blink to center the lens.

Can I swim with contact lenses?

Do not swim with contact lenses! Contact lenses can easily trap bacteria and microbes found in pools or lakes, which can lead to irritation or infections. FYidoctors offers prescription goggles as a safer alternative.

FAQs

Can I sleep in contact lenses?

Only extended-wear contact lenses approved by your optometrist are safe for overnight use. Most daily disposable and monthly contact lenses should be removed before sleeping to prevent eye infections and maintain healthy vision.

How do I properly insert and remove contact lenses as a beginner?

Always wash your hands thoroughly before handling contact lenses. Place the lens on your fingertip, check it's not inside-out, and gently place it on your eye. Our optometrists provide hands-on training during your contact lens fitting appointment.

What's the difference between daily and monthly contact lenses?

Daily disposable contact lenses are replaced every day and require no cleaning, while monthly lenses are worn for up to 30 days with proper nightly cleaning and storage in contact lens solution.

How often should I replace my contact lens case and cleaning solution?

Replace your contact lens case every three months and use fresh contact lens solution each time you store your lenses. Never reuse old solution or mix it with new solution to prevent bacterial contamination.

Can I wear contact lenses while swimming or in water activities?

Avoid wearing contact lenses while swimming in pools, lakes, or hot tubs as water can harbor bacteria that cause serious eye infections. Consider prescription swim goggles as a safer alternative for clear underwater vision.
