Color Contact Lens Care

Caring for color contact lenses is not at all difficult. However, it
is very important to take proper care of your color contacts,
otherwise your eyes can become irritated or even infected. Discover
how to care for your colored contacts simple and fast.

Whether you wear Freshlook color contacts, Acuvue 2 Colors,
Expressions Colors, or custom-made color or special effect lenses,
caring for them is exactly the same. All you need is a good contact
lens solution, a contact lens case, a pair of soft plastic tweezers
and a couple of minutes.

First of all, you should use a proper contact lens solution for
cleaning your colored lenses and storing them at night. Never use
ordinary water - it is full of bacteria and won't clean your lenses
properly anyway.

The best solution to use is a no-rub multipurpose solution, like Opti-
Free Express No-Rub. Most solutions require you to rub your lenses on
the palm of your hand to clean them; however, rubbing can damage the
color, which is why you need a no-rub solution. It is also a good idea
to get a solution marked "for sensitive eyes" - even if your eyes are
not sensitive, it can't hurt. Get a large bottle of solution, if you
wear your color contact lenses every day. If you only wear them for
special ocasions, though, you are better of with a smaller bottle
because, once contact lens solution is opened, it is only good for six
months.

The days when you needed a saline solution for storing your lenses and
a cleaner for cleaning them are long gone - multipurpose solutions
have taken their place. A multipurpose solution can disinfect your
color lenses and remove protein build-ups, so all you need to do is to
put your lenses
