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.

In the process of their insertion, the first step should always be washing of hands. They should be adequately dried after that. Then, with your dominant hand, hold the tip of the lens with your index finger and bring down the lower 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.

When taking them out, again you start with hand washing and drying them thereafter. While gazing upwards, the lower lid is pulled downwards using the dominant hand middle finger. The pointer finger is then used to slide out the lenses by squeezing it between the finger and the thumb. Given the delicate nature of the lens and the sensitivity of the eye, this should be carried out with a lot of caution.

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.

In storage, they are soaked for at least four hours in the cleanser solution. The solution is never to be reused. It should be discarded immediately after use. After doing all this, you can go ahead and put on lens again. If you notice any remaining debris, just rinse them before inserting them into the eyes.

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.
