Contact Lens Wear & Care Guide
👁️✨ The Ultimate EyeCala Wear & Care Guide 🌈
The Vibe Check: Colored contacts are the ultimate hack for leveling up your look, but we gotta keep those eyes healthy. Follow this guide to slay your EyeCala look safely! ✨
✅ The Pre-Game Routine (Hygiene Check)
- 🧼 Scrub Up: Wash hands thoroughly with soap and water. Dry them with a lint-free towel (paper towels work best). No fuzz allowed!
- 👩⚕️ Listen to the Pros: Always follow the wearing schedule your eye doctor gave you.
- 🚫 No Sharing: Never share your lenses with your bestie. That’s a major hygiene red flag. 🚩
1️⃣ Putting Them In (Insertion)
- 👁️ Pick a Side: Start with the same eye every time (e.g., Right first) so you don't mix up prescriptions.
- 🌮 The Taco Test: Put the lens on your index finger. Look at the shape.
Perfect Bowl Shape? ✅ You're good.
Flared Edges (like a soup plate)? ❌ It's inside out. Flip it. - 👐 Open Wide: Use one hand to hold your upper eyelid and the other to pull down your lower lid.
- ✨ The Landing: Gently place the lens directly on your eye. Look up, then slowly let go of your lids.
- 😉 Blink & Set: Blink gently to center the lens. Repeat for the other eye!
2️⃣ Taking Them Out (Removal)
- 🧼 Wash Hands Again: Yes, every time.
- ⬆️ Look Up: Look at the ceiling and gently pull down your lower eyelid.
- 👇 Slide It: Touch the bottom edge of the lens and slide it down to the white part of your eye.
- 🤏 The Pinch: Gently pinch the lens between your thumb and index finger to lift it off.
- 🗑️ Toss or Clean: If they are daily disposables, trash them. If they are reusable, clean them immediately.
3️⃣ Cleaning Routine (For Reusable Lenses Only) 🫧
Using dailies? Skip this section!
- 💧 Fresh Only: Always use fresh multi-purpose solution. Never "top off" old solution (bacteria loves that stuff 🤢).
- 🖐️ Rub & Rinse: Even "no-rub" solutions work better with a rub. Place the lens in your palm, add solution, and gently rub for 20 seconds. Rinse thoroughly.
- 📦 Storage: Store lenses fully submerged in a clean case. Replace your lens case every 3 months!
4️⃣ The Major "Don'ts" (Safety First) 🚩
- 🚫 No Sleeping: Unless your doctor specifically said okay, never nap or sleep in contacts. Your eyes need to breathe!
- 🚫 No Water: Do not shower, swim, or use a hot tub with lenses in. Tap water + contacts = bad news.
- ⏰ Watch the Clock: Don't wear them longer than recommended (usually 8 hours is a safe limit for colored lenses).
⚠️ Real Talk: If your eye gets red, hurts, or feels scratchy, take the lens out immediately. If it doesn't get better quickly, go see an eye doctor. Don't risk your vision for the aesthetic!
🤔 Troubleshooting 101
❗ My lens feels weird/uncomfortable
- 🔍 Check for dust: Take it out, rinse it with solution, and try again.
- 💧 Dry eyes: Use rewetting drops made specifically for contacts. (Don't use standard redness-relief drops!)
❗ My lens is ripped
- 🗑️ Throw it away immediately. Never put a torn lens in your eye. It scratches!
