Taking care of your lensesUpdated a year ago

Our instructions for wearing your Dimple contacts are provided in an IFU pamphlet inside your contact lens box.

We have created a short video showing how to store and care for your contact lenses.

You can also view these instructions below:

Disinfection/soaking

Clean and disinfect your lenses following strictly the instructions on your solution bottle or as directed by your Eyecare practitioner. This should limit the existence of potentially harmful bacteria and fungi. If the lenses dry out follow the Disinfection/Soaking step above, replace with new lenses or consult your eye care practitioner.

Precautions

1. We recommend that you replace your lenses frequently and care for them daily. Your eye care practitioner will recommend a wearing regime, but if in doubt ask them for advice. Always follow their recommendations and make regular visits.

2. Our lenses come in two replacement schedules: monthly and 3-monthly. Once the lenses have been opened they must be discarded based on their replacement schedule.

3. If your eyes become red or irritated or you experience any pain, remove your lenses immediately and consult your eye care practitioner.

4. Avoid long nails which can harbor bacteria. A scratched eye is vulnerable to infection.

5. Replace damaged or scratched lenses immediately.

6. Insert lenses before applying make-up. Remove lenses before removing make-up. Use fibre and oil free mascaras. Avoid contact between your lenses and hair lacquer or other cosmetic aerosols.

7. Keep your lenses out of reach of children.

8. Remove your lenses in the presence of noxious or irritating fumes.

9. Only use your lenses for water sports if water-tight goggles are worn.

Warnings

1. DON’T sleep in your lenses.

2. DON’T use household products (e.g. disinfectants) on your lenses. They can seriously damage your eyes.

3. DON’T wear your lenses when using eye medications or eye drops (unless advised to do so).

4. DON’T use saliva to wet your lenses.

5. DON’T rinse your lenses or lens case with tap water.
