Contact lenses have to be prescribed by a qualified optician even if the wearer does not have problems with his or her vision. This comes after thorough eye examination to assess for hyperopia, myopia, astigmatism and the general health of your eyes. The visual strength is tested 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 of the less dominant hand is used in elevating the anterior eyelid. The lens is then slid gently onto the sclera while you are looking up. The fingers are then removed and the eyelids let go. Centering of lens is facilitated by closing the eyes for a moment. The same procedure is used when inserting the second lens.
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 meant for a single use. This saves you the hassle of cleaning and storage of other types of contact lens. However, the processes are not that hard as long as the instructions provided by the professional are followed. There are solutions in the market designed for use in soaking, rinsing, cleaning, and conditioning, disinfecting and removing proteins from lens.
For comfortable and healthy contact lens wear, they have to get cared for on a daily basis. The procedure involves placing commercial cleaner drops on each on the lenses sides and rubbing gently for about twenty seconds. This is followed by thorough rinsing for about five minutes with a rinsing solution prepared commercially
After cleaning and rinsing follows soaking. This must be done using a fresh cleaning solution. Never make the mistake of reusing the solution. The soaking should last for four hours. Thereafter, the lenses are fine to be worn. In case of any lingering debris, they must be cleared away before insertion.
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.
