- Rub and rinse reusable lenses as directed, even with no-rub solutions
- Put lenses in before makeup, and take them out before removing makeup
- Replace lenses on schedule, and replace your case often
- Keep a backup pair of glasses
- Bring your lens boxes or prescription to every exam
Watch
See it for yourself
Don’t
Contact lens don’ts.
