Tips to Care for Your Contact Lens
Regardless of what kind of contact lens you are using, it is imperative to properly take care of your contact lens to avoid infection and even blindness.’
Tips to Care for your Contact Lens
- ALWAYS wash and dry your hands thoroughly before handling your contacts.
- If you wear makeup, apply makeup after you put in your contact.
- Do NOT use tap water or saliva to rinse contacts because some bacteria can cause eye irritation.
- Make sure to clean your lens case after every use with sterile solution.
- Always remove contacts before going to sleep.
- Since contacts can make your eyes more sensitive to light, make sure to use sunglasses when outside.
- Call your doctor if you are experiencing eye pain, blurred vision or swelling.
Circle Contact Lens
Have you ever tried or heard of circle contact lens? Circle contacts are just like normal contacts except they make the eyes appear bigger. In fact, these specific contact lens gives the eyes a dreamy cartoon appearance by making the iris of the eye appear bigger since the contacts covers the outer extra-wide rim of the eye. I have never tried circle contact lens until Lens Circle sent me one to try and I decided to give them a go because I somewhat small eyes and was curious to see how I would look with bigger eyes.
I tried the World Series Brown contact lens and the color is a beautiful mix of different hues of brown that looks pretty natural. The circle contacts certainly makes my eyes appear larger which is crazy! I first wondered the safety of these contacts because they are not based in the US. However, I soon found out that all of Lens Circle’s contacts are legally distributed by GEO Medical Canada (which is approved by the US FDA). One thing to keep in mind when using circle contacts is that it should only be worn 6-8 hours a day. I also highly recommend to use a prescription that was prescribed by a doctor when ordering contacts to avoid unwanted eye damage. All in all, these circle contact are certainly pretty and I plan on wearing them once in a blue moon since I do love the eyes God gave me 🙂

This is really helpful! I don't wear contacts, so I had no idea how to care for them.
As someone who wore contacts for ten years I can definitely second this advice. I would also add to avoid rubbing your eyes as much as possible. I once forgot I had my contacts in and rubbed my eyes so hard that my lens slid behind my eyeball and I had to get help to fish it out.
This is helpful! I don't wear contacts, but I know many people do.
These are pretty cool. I have small eyes too, so I think I'd love something that made my eyes look a little bigger. Not sure I could stand putting something in my eye though – I have trouble with just eyedrops!
I don't wear contacts myself so I had no idea of the correct way to care for them. I haven't heard of Circle contacts either, it's pretty wild that you can get contacts that make your eyes look bigger!
I've worn glasses for a long time but I've never used contact lens before. I think this is a lovely guide for that! Thanks for the tips.
I feel lucky to have perfect vision so I've never tried contact lenses. Even the ones for fashion. I think it's good to know how to take care of it in case.
This is pretty awesome. I've been thinking about getting my first contact lens and I'm definitely going to need a guide like this in the future.
Wow! I've never seen contacts like that before. It would be fun to change things up, but I think your eyes are beautiful the size they are. I'd love to see what the look is like with a full face view.
I use glasses and yet to graduate to contacts. But helpful tips nevertheless.
Great tips. I don't wear contact lenses, but my wife does. She can definitely use your tips.
How helpful! I don't wear contacts, but everyone in my family does, so I'll be sure to pass this along!
All these tips are useful and interesting, definitely to know for those who wear contacts!
I did try to wear coloured contact lenses to see what they looked like as I love green eyes but sadly it irritated my eyes, maybe I needed to follow this guide.
I will share this to.my friend who is clumsy with her contact lenses. Am using eyewear though 🙂
