With
millions of Canadians wearing them, Contact Lenses remain
a popular form of corrective eyewear. They are a convenient,
comfortable and safe alternative to glasses.
FVC
offers disposable, bifocal, toric, rigid, specialty and coloured
contact lenses in almost any shade. FVC carries the most
popular brands - Night and Day, O2 Optix, SofLens, Acuvue,
Biomedics, and many more.
In
order to get fitted for contact lenses, you need a thorough
eye examination by your Optometrist. A decision can then be
made on on what type of contact lenses best suit your
individual needs. FVC offers a contact lens replacement
service through LenSender Express.

Do's
& Don'ts of Contact Lens Wear
|
| Contact
lenses, properly prescribed and properly maintained, will provide
you with safe and comfortable vision. Precautions should be followed
to ensure your safe and successful contact lens wear. Here are some
dos and don'ts to keep in mind to increase the comfort, performance
and safety of your contact lenses: |
|
|
Do
be sensible about proper hygiene. Wash your hands with mild
non-cosmetic soap and dry with a lint-free towel.
Do remember that progress
checks are mandatory and you should wear you contacts for at
least 4 hours before your visit.
Do keep lenses wet at all
times. Carry an emergency case filled with rinsing solution
with you.
Do
always be consistent in which lens you insert and remove first.
This will eliminate inserting the wrong lens in the wrong eye
and prevent the spread of germs and infection.
Do
have a yearly exam even if the lenses feel comfortable. You
are able to judge the comfort of the contact lenses and clarity
of vision, but not the health of your eyes.
|
|
Don't
exceed your wearing schedule. If you have a break in your schedule
due to illness, etc., reduce your wearing time and build it
gradually.
Don't substitute solutions.
Improper solution may damage lens materials.
Don't store your lenses with tap water or saliva. This can cause
a bacterial infection.
Don't use eyedrops or apply
medications with lenses in your eyes.
Don't reuse the solution.
Replace it every day.
Don't tolerate discomfort.
Remove the lens immediately and inspect for nicks, tears, foreign
matter or an inside out lens. If the discomfort persists, discontinue
wear and contact your optometrist. |
