Contact lenses are an excellent choice for nearly anyone who needs vision correction and doesn't want to wear eyeglasses full time or undergo LASIK surgery.

The first choice when considering contact lenses is which lens material will best satisfy your needs. There are five types of contact lenses, based on type of lens material they are made of: Soft lenses, Silicone hydrogel lenses, Gas permeable lenses, Hybrid contact lenses, PMMA lenses.

How to wear contact lens?

Replace your lenses as often as the doctor suggests, even if you don't wear them every day. For instance, if you have the disposable kind that are good for one wearing, throw them out after you've worn them once, even if they still feel fresh. When you wear lenses for more days than you should, or when you sleep in lenses that aren't made for overnight wear, you raise your risk of eye infections.

Before touching lens

Always wash your hands before you put your lenses in or take them out. Don't lather up with oily or heavily scented soaps. Lenses can cling to wet hands and also bacteria that live in tap water that can cling to the lenses so always dry your hands well with a lint free towel. If you want to use a moisturizer, wait until after you've put in your lenses. The residue from lotions can stick to them.

Putting your lens on the eye

Start with the same eye each time so you don't mix up the right and left lenses. Use your index finger to slide the lens out of the package or case and into the palm of your hand. Rinse it with the solution recommended by your eye doctor. Place the lens on the tip of your index finger.  Pull your lower lid down with the middle finger of the same hand and hold your upper lid with your other hand. Place the lens directly on the iris of your eye. Gently release your lids, and blink.

Removing your lens

First, wash and dry your hands before removing any lenses. To take out soft lenses, pull down your lower lid. Look up or to the side, and gently move your lens to the white of your eye. Using your thumb and index finger, gently pinch the lens and lift it off your eye. For gas-permeable lenses, open your eyes wide and pull the skin near the corner of your eye toward your ear. Bend over your open palm and blink. The lens should pop out into your palm.

Cleaning and storage

There are many ways to clean lenses. A multipurpose solution lets you clean, rinse, disinfect, and store your lenses. Some systems have separate products for cleaning and rinsing. "No-rub" solutions say that rinsing alone will clean the lenses, but research suggests that rubbing cleans better. With hydrogen peroxide solution you put your lenses in a basket that goes in a cup of solution. Never use this solution to rinse your lenses. Also, hydrogen peroxide solution will have a red cap, which means never put it directly in your eyes.
