What can I do to avoid serious problems with my contact lenses?

• Ask your eye doctor how often you should have a check-up and see the doctor according to the recommended schedule.

• You run a greater risk of developing serious eye problems such as infection if you wear lenses overnight.

• Order your contact lenses from a supplier you are familiar with and know is reliable. Contact lenses are often more complex than they appear.

• Request the manufacturer’s written patient information for your contact lenses. It will give you important risk/benefit information, as well as instructions for use.

• Beware of attempts to substitute a different brand than you presently have. While this may be acceptable in some situations, there are differences in the water content and shape between different brands. The correct choice of which lens is right for you should only be made based on examination by your doctor, not over the phone.

• Carefully check to make sure the company gives you

  • the exact brand,

  • lens name,

  • power,

    • sphere,

    • cylinder, if any,

    • axis, if any,

  • diameter,

  • base curve, and

  • peripheral curves, if any.

• If you think you have gotten an incorrect lens, check with your eye doctor. Don’t accept a substitution unless your doctor approves it.
