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.

When wearing them, hand washing comes first. The hands have to be dried after washing. Using the dominant hand the lens is held at the tip using the pointer finger and then the middle finger is used to pull down the lower eyelid.

The pointer finger of the less dominant hand is used in elevating the anterior eyelid. The lens is then slid gently onto the sclera while you are looking up. The fingers are then removed and the eyelids let go. Centering of lens is facilitated by closing the eyes for a moment. The same procedure is used when inserting the second lens.

In removal, hand washing precedes. They should be dried well before the process is begun. You should first look up and then pull down the posterior eyelid using the middle finger of the principal hand. The pointer finger is utilized to grasp the lens and after squeezing lens between it and the thumb, removal of the contact lens is done carefully. The eye is a very sensitive organ and the lens is a very delicate device. So, a lot of caution should be taken during the process.

The disposable ones are thrown away after a single use. Using them eliminates the need for constant cleaning and storage. However, these processes are not as hard as they are made to sound. As long as you follow the instructions given by the optician, everything will just go smoothly. There are specially made solutions for rinsing, disinfecting, protein removal and conditioning the lenses.

There are some steps to be followed in maintenance of healthy ad relaxed use of these lens. The initial step in this procedure is rubbing the lens for around 20 seconds after application of a cleanser on its sides. The rinsing process must be thorough taking up to 5 seconds using a special rinsing solution.

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.
