Taking Care Of Sacramento Contact Lenses

By Nancy Gardner


Contact lenses have to be prescribed by a qualified optician even if the wearer does not have problems with his or her vision. This comes after thorough eye examination to assess for hyperopia, myopia, astigmatism and the general health of your eyes. The visual strength is tested before Sacramento contact lenses are prescribed.

In their insertion, the hands must be washed and dried thoroughly beforehand. The principal hand pointer finger is used to grasp the lens at the tip. The middle finger is utilized in pulling down the posterior eyelid.

The pointer finger is also used to elevate the lid at the top besides holding lenses. You should look up at this point and place the lens in a gentle manner on the lower side of the sclera. The pointer finger is then removed and the lid released. After doing this, the eye should be closed for a moment to give a chance for the lens to be centered.

The process of taking them off starts with washing the hands too. They should be thoroughly dried thereafter. You should then look up and pull down the lower lid using the middle finger of the dominant hand. The index finger is then used to access the lenses on the lower part. It is then slid down the sclera and squeezed between the thumb and pointer finger. Be careful during the removal process.

The disposable kind of contact lens is meant to be worn only one time. They eliminate the hassle of repeated cleaning and storing. However, caring for lens is not so difficult. Just make sure you adhere to the instructions of your optician. There are commercially made solutions meant to remove proteins, clean, rinse and disinfect the lenses before they are stored.

For comfortable and healthy contact lens wear, they have to get cared for on a daily basis. The procedure involves placing commercial cleaner drops on each on the lenses sides and rubbing gently for about twenty seconds. This is followed by thorough rinsing for about five minutes with a rinsing solution prepared commercially

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 you are not going to wear the lenses immediately after soaking, store then in a closed case designed for this purpose. They should not be stored in a saline solution. This is not a disinfectant. If they are not going to be worn for a considerable period of time, they can be stored in a closed case. If thirty days go by without them being used, the next time they are worn they have to be cleaned and also disinfected beforehand. Reusing a cleaning solution does not give effective results. The cases they are stored in should be replaced on a monthly basis.
