  • Cleaning

1. Wash your hands so that you don't transfer dirt and germs to your eye. Try to avoid moisturizing soaps, as they are not good for contact lenses. Then, dry your hands with a lint-free towel.

2. Clean the lens with the recommended solution. Cleaning removes eye-produced buildup, cosmetics and other debris that impairs lens comfort. The FDA recommends that you rub the lens in the palm of your hand with a few drops of solution, even if you are using a "no-rub" product.

3. Rinse the lens again to remove the loosened debris, making sure to take as long as the package directs: Rinsing is an important step.

4. Place the lens in your clean lens case or lens holder and fill it with fresh solution; don't "top off" your old solution.

5. Repeat steps two through four for your other lens.
