Contact Lens Solutions
Choosing the best cleaning and storage solution from the vast array of contact lens solutions on the market can be daunting. The sheer number of options can be bewildering. Which is the best option? No-rub solutions? Maximum strength solution? Hydrating solutions?
Unfortunately, the best way to find the best solution is old-fashioned trial and error. Pick a solution, use it for as long as it lasts, and then try another one. It may sound like a time-intensive process, but you can ask your eye care professional for a his or her opinion regarding a particular brand. Keep in mind this kind of professional insight can go a long away towards saving you some time and money.
Regardless of which contact solution you start with, it is imperative you adhere to a regular -- and thorough -- cleaning routine. This should include fastidious hand cleaning. Before handling your contacts, whether you are removing them from your eyes or from their storage case, it is essential you wash your hands with soap and water. More importantly, always remove your contacts before falling asleep. Sleeping with your contacts on is the best way to invite an eye infection.
