It is important for both daily disposable and monthly disposable contact lens wearers to take care of both their eyes and contact lenses. Before touching contact lenses, it is necessary to wash hands thoroughly with soap and dry them in a towel that won’t leave any fluff on the fingers. Before contact lenses are inserted into eyes it is important to make sure that contact lens packaging is not damaged and parameters on the blister match the prescription. Visually evaluate if contact lens is not damaged. A damaged lens mustn’t be inserted into eye!
