How To Care For Halloween Eye Contacts
Posted on 15. Aug, 2010 by in Halloween Eye Contacts
When taking care of Halloween eye contacts it is best to have the following: a solution ready for soft contact lenses (should be non-rub), tweezers, and a lens case for your contacts. The tweezers are optional but they will help you to pick up the contact lenses easily.
If you own more than one pair of contacts, make sure to keep each pair in its own case.
First, make sure to wash your hands with water before handling contacts lenses. Next, pick up the lens carefully either using your finger or tweezers and place it on the tip of your finger. Be sure to rinse the lens with the solution. You may now place the contact in your eye. At first it may be difficult not to blink when putting the contacts in but over time it will become easier.
When you are finished wearing your contacts, take them out and rinse them again with the solution. Empty the lens case and refill it with fresh solution. Now put them back in the case for use at a later time.
If you do not expect to wear your lenses again for an extended period of time (like over one week), it is highly recommended that you re-fill the case with fresh solution and rinse the contacts about once a week. If you forget to maintain your lenses for several weeks, it is recommended that you rinse them twice and then place them in fresh solution for a few hours before wearing them.
If you are a regular contact lens wearer then Halloween contacts will not feel much different than usual. If you have never worn contacts before, upon the first few uses you might feel an urge to rub your eye. In this case, one tip is to take advantage of lubricant drops. Another idea is to wear your lenses a few days before the event and increase the length of use gradually.
