Cleanliness is the supreme law in regard to the handling of contact lenses. Always be sure that your hands are thoroughly washed before you put your contact lenses on you eyes.

Products that are not expressly recommended by us can damage the lenses and make them unusable (e.g. discolouration etc.). With soft lenses., never use products intended for hard lenses.

Always remove the lenses in the evening, unless you have special lenses that can be worn day and night. If you are able to wear the lenses successfully, they must not be removed when you take a nap (max. 2 to 3 hours).

Never use eye-drops while you are wearing your lenses, unless the instructions expressly state that they may be used with soft contact lenses. If you have hard lenses, this does not apply..
