Experts Advise Proper Hygiene and Caution in Contact Lens Use to Protect Eye Health
Contact lenses offer convenience and cosmetic appeal but require strict hygiene to avoid eye damage. Experts advise against using water—including tap, bottled, or boiled—to clean lenses, as it can introduce harmful microorganisms causing infections. Safe use involves washing hands before handling lenses, using recommended solutions, regularly replacing lens cases, and avoiding sleeping or swimming with lenses unless advised. Recognizing warning signs like watery eyes or light sensitivity is important to prevent serious eye health issues.
