help on eye contacts?
Post By catnes555. 04/02/10, 09:23 am

Well. I got my blue contacts a while ago. Could you maybe help me with:

Where should I store them?
How long will they last?
How many times can I use them?
How long can I put them in for?

Just to note, I have used them twice already (They arn't damaging my eyes or anything), they are in clear glass bottles (So, wondering if I shouldn't keep them in the sunlight or something). I have heard you shouldn't sleep in them, does that go for napping for a little too?

If asked I can post a picture of them.

depends on the brand etc.
Do you know what brand they are?
In terms of storage, just keep em under the sink or something. Out of the sun is a good idea. I wear every-day sort of contacts and i would assume the same sort of storage suggestions apply to coloured ones.

Just in your bathroom in a draw or under the sink or something is fine.

Depending on what brand they are and how often you use them it could be
anywhere from 3 months to a year.

You shouldn't wear them for more than 9 - 10 hours at a time.

Do you have a lenses case? I picked up a case for $2 so they are a good investment.

No you shouldn't sleep in them, idk about napping, I suppose that's ok.

re: napping.
actually it depends how long you nap for. P: if it's something like a 5min, 10min nap it's okay, but if you intend to nap for like an hour or something, take 'em off! c:

not that this ever stops me napping in them anyway... /falls asleep randomly a lot.
/slaps self. bad syn! it's bad for your eyes! take them off! /slapslap

I have plain contacts cuz my eyes are horrible v.v but hopefully the same things apply~

Hopefully, you got a contact lens case with them and a bottle of saline :3
remember to replace the saline every so often so you don't get conjunctivitis (it's not a good feeling ; ; very painful...)
It's better that you don't wear them for long, but if you do, then remember to bring along some eye rewetting drops~ nodnod

When I was young, I couldn't be bothered taking off my lenses so I'd nap in them. My naps were just a couple of hours but my eyes were dry after that so I recommend taking them off to sleep or nap for any duration longer than an hour~

^this. it hurts like hell. /had it once. make sure you're putting the correct solution in; i remember putting in the rinsing solution to store my lenses-- end result, lenses got infected and i got conjunctivitis.
(my right eye hurt yesterday after i took my lenses off and i panicked, thinking i got it again; but my eye feels normal today so it might just be a false alarm.)

if the glass bottles the contact lenses came in have been opened already, i recommend you get lens cases to keep them in.

change the solution every week if you don't wear them often. and change the solution every time you use the lenses. :3

P: you'd use less solution keeping them in the cases, fyi, unless you don't fill the glass vials up to the top. :3
