Contact Lens Tips

Here are our best contact lens care tips to get you started and on the road to falling in love with your new PRECISION™ contact lenses. You got this!

Three Things to Remember

Get in the habit of putting in your contact lenses when you’re getting ready in the morning. Every day gets easier.
Carry a spare pair of contact lenses while you get into the swing of things. You never know what might happen, ya know?
Contact lenses feeling weird? Give your Eye Care Practitioner a call.

Daily disposable Contact Lenses

With daily disposable contact lenses, there’s no need for lens care. Simply put in a fresh pair in the morning and toss them out at night. Then, start the next day with a fresh new pair.

This would be followed by instructions, like we have below, on how to put contacts in.

Weekly replacement Contact Lenses

With weekly replacement contact lenses, you'll need to regularly clean, disinfect, and store them before bed in contact lens solution.

Replace them each week with a fresh new pair, or as directed by your Eye Care Practitioner.

Weekly Lens Care Instructions

Wash and Dry Hands

Start by thoroughly washing and drying your hands to prevent transferring any dirt or oils to your lenses

Remove Your Lens

Gently remove each contact lens and place it in the palm of your hand

Clean Your Lens

Apply a few drops of contact lens cleaning solution to each lens. Gently rub the lens with your fingertip to remove any buildup, following the solution’s instructions.

Rinse Thoroughly

Rinse each lens with fresh contact lens solution to remove any remaining debris or particles.

Store in Clean Case

Place each lens in its designated compartment of your clean contact lens case. Fill the compartments with fresh contact lens solution—make sure each lens is fully submerged.

Replace Weekly

After 7 days of wear, discard your current lenses and replace them with a new pair, and follow your eye doctor’s recommendations
