Lens4us 101 & Tips

Lens4us Advice

Eye examination and Contact lens Fitting
If you are thinking of buying contact lenses for the first time, we encourage you to arrange a visit to your local optometrist or ophthalmologist for an eye exam and a contact lens fitting.
Aftercare
Your first aftercare should ideally take place after 2-3 weeks.

New contact lens wearers should know:

If you think a lens is inside out, you can tell by its flatter shape which reverses when gently squeezed.
Wearing schedule should ideally start between 4 to 6 hours per day, with an hourly build up every day. Lens4us advices you not to over wear your contacts, wearing schedule is a maximum and not a target.
Lens comfort - should not be worse than that already experienced on your trial period.
Lens care - Never change your solution before consulting your practitioner.

Avoid environments containing fumes, sprays or chemicals.
If your contact lenses have been left in your case for a few days, be sure to disinfect them again before wearing.
Swimming with your contacts is unwise since you are risking of losing them as well as increasing the risk of infecting your lenses if not properly disinfected.
Never use tap water to clean your lenses or your lens case. Tap water may contain harmful agents that can infect your case and/or lenses and consequently your eyes.
