Caring for your contact lenses — cleaning, disinfecting and storing them — is quite simple.

Most people require only a single multipurpose solution to clean, disinfect and safely store their lenses.

People who are sensitive to the preservatives in multipurpose solutions might need preservative-free systems, such as those containing hydrogen peroxide.

Your eye doctor will recommend a lens care system. Be sure to follow the care directions carefully.

Of course, you can avoid lens care altogether by wearing daily disposable contact lenses.

Contact lens problems

If you experience discomfort or poor vision when wearing contact lenses, chances are that an adjustment or change of lens can help.

Today, more contact lens choices than ever are available to provide comfort, good vision, and healthy eyes. If your eyes or lenses are uncomfortable or you are not seeing well, remove your lenses and consult your eye doctor immediately.

Buying contact lenses

Once you have a valid contact lens prescription, you can buy replacement contact lenses at many places, and some offer a better value than others. Find out more about where to buy contacts and buying contact lenses online.
