If you are new to shopping
for Contact Lenses online, here is some important information:
First - Please see an
eye care professional before buying contact lenses of any kind. Eye
damage including blindness can result if you do not properly care for your
lenses, or choose lenses incorrectly.
Second - Follow all
package information and instruction concerning the care of your contact
lenses. Improper care can result in serious eye damage.
Third - While color
contact lenses are cosmetic enhancements, they must be treated like any
prescription eye care product. You must care for and clean them as you
would prescription contact lenses. The precautions required are for your
EYES, not the lenses.

Wearing contact lenses is a
lot like taking a prescription drug. Wearers must follow their eye care
professional's recommendations in order to use them properly. Regular
follow-up visits to check eye health is essential to problem free, long
term contact lens wear.
The potential problems that
contact lens wearers may experience from improper use include anything
from itchy eyes, reddened eyes and eyes that feel tired -- to more
serious vision problems. It is essential that you follow your eye care
professional's directions and all labeling instructions for proper use
of your lenses and lens care product, including the lens case.
The kinds of care that
contacts require, and how long they should be worn, is something only
your eye care professional can decide. Wear-and-care regimens depend
upon the type of contacts prescribed, vision needs and personal eye
health. Do not be discouraged if you have been told that you cannot wear
contact lenses -- advances in contacts lens technology are enabling
people who previously could not wear contact lenses to wear them
comfortably and safely.
Consumers should check with
their eye care professional about the eye care steps they should be
following. (Many people who think they are taking proper care of their
lenses may be surprised to find that they aren't.) Contact lens wearers
should follow their eye care professional's directions completely and
review them at each follow-up office visit.
Contact lens manufacturers
continue to stress the importance of proper contact lens wear and care.
These efforts include providing detailed instructions that provide
important health and safety information, and stress the importance of
proper wear and care.
Consumers who wear and care
for their contact lenses properly will experience few problems.
