What Should I Do If My Contact Lenses Feel Uncomfortable?

/

Wearing contacts should feel comfortable.

If they start to bother you, here’s what to do:

  1. Wash Your Hands
     Always wash with soap and water before touching your eyes or lenses.

  2. Remove the Lens
     Take it out right away, don’t push through the discomfort.

  3. Check the Lens
     Look for:

  • Tears or damage

  • Dirt or debris

  • If it’s inside out

4. Clean or Replace
 Clean with lens solution (never water). If it still feels off, toss it and use a new one.

5. Give Your Eyes a Break
 Let your eyes rest. Switch to glasses for a while.

6.Use Eye Drops (If Needed)
 Use contact lens-safe rewetting drops if your eyes feel dry.

7.Call Your Eye Doctor
 If the discomfort doesn’t go away, or your eye is red, painful, or blurry, get checked ASAP.

 Always follow your lens care schedule, and don’t overwear them.
  Healthy eyes = Happy eyes!
