Taking Care Of Sacramento Contact Lenses

By Nancy Gardner


Contact lens should only be won following a prescription from your doctor. This also applies even if the purpose of wearing them is other than for visual correction. During eye examination, the optician will access your eyes health, myopia, hyperopia and astigmatism. Your visual acuity has to get assessed too before Sacramento contact lenses are prescribed.

In the process of their insertion, the first step should always be washing of hands. They should be adequately dried after that. Then, with your dominant hand, hold the tip of the lens with your index finger and bring down the lower eyelid.

The index finger of the other hand is used to elevate the eyelid at the top. While gazing upwards, the lens is placed on the white eye region and the lids released by removal of index fingers. Closing the eyes for a brief period allows lens to be positioned well inside the eye.

The process of taking them off starts with washing the hands too. They should be thoroughly dried thereafter. You should then look up and pull down the lower lid using the middle finger of the dominant hand. The index finger is then used to access the lenses on the lower part. It is then slid down the sclera and squeezed between the thumb and pointer finger. Be careful during the removal process.

The disposable ones are meant for a single use. This saves you the hassle of cleaning and storage of other types of contact lens. However, the processes are not that hard as long as the instructions provided by the professional are followed. There are solutions in the market designed for use in soaking, rinsing, cleaning, and conditioning, disinfecting and removing proteins from lens.

To avoid discomforts and maintain eye health during the use of these lens, there are some procedures to be done. The first one is cleaning the lenses and this should be done by putting a cleanser solution drop on each of the lenses side and rubbing gently for twenty second. This is followed by rinsing which should last for five seconds.

After cleaning and rinsing follows soaking. This must be done using a fresh cleaning solution. Never make the mistake of reusing the solution. The soaking should last for four hours. Thereafter, the lenses are fine to be worn. In case of any lingering debris, they must be cleared away before insertion.

If they are not in use, they must be kept in specially made cases for safety purposes. They should never be soaked in a saline solution. This does not result to disinfection. The cases may remain closed for a period of thirty days if they are not in use. However, beyond this, they have to be cleaned and disinfected before insertion. The solutions used should be professionally prepared. Otherwise, using something else will not be effective in accomplishing the purpose. Also, the results will be compromised in case the solution is been reused. The case the lens are stored in should be changed on a monthly basis.
