In this blog article, we’ve put together some of the most important information and tips for first-time contact lens wearers.

Contact lenses offer many advantages over traditional glasses: a wider field of vision, more freedom when playing sports, and a more aesthetically appealing option. However, it’s important to be well informed about contact lens wear to avoid any potential inconvenience and to ensure the health of your eyes.

Start gradually

Wear the lenses for just a few hours for the first few days, then gradually increase the duration until your eyes get used to them. This will avoid irritation and other discomfort.

Always carry eye drops with you.

Moisturizing eye drops can help relieve dryness and discomfort, especially in dry environments or during long periods of computer use.

Pay attention to the lifespan

Each contact lens has a specific lifetime, whether it is daily, weekly or monthly. Never wear them for longer than the prescribed period, as this increases the risk of infection and complications.

Avoid contact with water.

Never wear contact lenses while swimming or showering. Bacteria in the water can cause serious infection.

Have a spare lens with you.

Always have a spare pair of lenses and a small bottle of cleaning solution with you, especially if you’re travelling. This way you can avoid unpleasant surprises if a lens gets damaged or lost.
