New Contact Lens Wearer Procedure and Follow-up:

1. Learn how to use your contacts lenses: insertion, removal, inversion. Please review the instruction videos on this website.
2. The trial lens you begin using is usually an easier lens to insert.
3. Wearing schedule: begin with 1-2  hours the first day and add up to 2 hours each day.  Do not exceed 8 hours of wear until after your first follow-up appointment.  Remove contact lenses before sleeping. Do not let water get on your contact lenses. Water can damage contact lenses & make lenses more difficult to remove.
4. 1-day “single use” contact lenses & are thrown away after removal.
5. If you have re-useable lenses, follow cleaning  disinfecting & storage procedures.
6.  Follow-up visit is scheduled approximately 5 days after your training appointment. This visit  checks your contact lens progress.
7. Lost/damaged/uncomfortable contact lens? Do not wear a damaged, torn or uncomfortable contact lens. Notify the office if a lens is damaged, lost or uncomfortable.
8. Contact the office if you have any questions or concerns before your follow-up appointment.
