Contact lenses let you see the world clearly—Without anything standing in your way.

Contact lenses are thin, round lenses that rest on the surface of your eyes to help you see more clearly. Like glasses, contacts correct refractive errors. These are changes to the shape of your eye that prevent light from landing properly on your retina. Refractive errors make your vision blurry.

Over 45 million people in the U.S. wear contacts. They can help you have crisper, clearer vision. They also move naturally with your eye and don’t get in the way of an active lifestyle. Plus, many people prefer the look of contacts vs. glasses.

Contacts are medical devices. They come with some level of risk, most commonly, eye infections. Learning how to clean and care for your contacts can help you wear them safely.

If you’re interested in contacts, you should schedule an appointment with an eye care specialist. They’ll evaluate your eyes and determine if you can wear contacts. They’ll also discuss the types of contacts available. Each person has different needs based on their eye health, medical history, lifestyle and other factors.If contacts are suitable for you, your provider will write a prescription for the specific type you need and fit the contacts to your eyes.Contact lenses rest on the surface of your eyes to improve your vision. Some you wear during the day and discard before bed. Others you clean overnight and reuse. Each type has a specific wear schedule (how long you can keep the lenses in) and replacement schedule (when you need new lenses). Follow your provider’s guidance to avoid complications.

Types of contact lenses

  • Soft contact lenses. These are contacts made of flexible plastic. Many people feel they’re comfortable and can quickly adjust to wearing them (within a few days). However, these contacts easily absorb pollutants (like lotion or soap from your hands), which can irritate your eyes. They’re also fragile and may tear or rip.
  • Daily wear. You wear these contacts during the day, but you take them out at night. You should never sleep in daily wear contacts. Doing so raises your risk of an eye infection. Depending on your replacement schedule, you either throw out the contacts at night or you clean and store them according to your provider’s instructions to reuse the next day.
  • Replacement schedule

    Your replacement schedule is how often you need to replace your contacts. This applies to soft contact lens use only. You wear RGP lenses long-term until your provider determines you need new ones.

 

Who shouldn’t wear contacts?

While contacts have many benefits, they may not be right for you if you:

  • Have dry eye disease.
  • Deal with recurrent eye infections.
  • Have severe allergies.
  • Spend a lot of time in areas with dust or fumes.
  • May not be able to clean and care for your contacts.

Ask your provider if there are any reasons why you should avoid using contacts.

When should I call my eye doctor?

Call your eye care provider if you have:

  • Pain or discomfort in one or both eyes.
  • Redness in one or both eyes.
  • Sensitivity to light.
  • Blurry vision that starts suddenly.
  • Eyes that are more watery than usual.
  • Discharge (fluid) coming out of your eyes.

How do I put in contact lenses?

  1. Wash and rinse your hands thoroughly. 
  2. Choose which eye to start with. 
  3. Rinse the lens. 
  4. Inspect the lens. 
  5. Hold your eyelids in place. 
  6. Bring the lens toward your eye. 
  7. Release your eyelids. 
  8. Repeat with your other eye.

How do I remove my contact lenses?

To remove your contacts, follow these steps:

  1. Wash and dry your hands thoroughly.
  2. Pull down your lower lid with the middle finger of your preferred hand.
  3. Use the tip of the index finger on your preferred hand to lightly touch the bottom edge of the lens.
  4. While looking up, slide the lens down onto the white part of your eye.
  5. Use your index finger and thumb to gently pinch the lens off the white part of your eye.

What if I fall asleep with my contacts in?

Always try to remove your contacts before going to sleep unless your prescription allows nighttime wear. But if you fall asleep before removing your contacts, don’t panic.

When you wake up, check to see if the lenses move freely on your eyes. If they do, remove them and keep them out for several hours. If the lenses don’t move, wait about 10 minutes for your eyes to re-wet. Or place re-wetting drops in your eyes. Once the lenses move freely, remove them.

Do I still need glasses if I wear contacts?

Yes, you should always keep a pair of glasses that has your current prescription. You may need to wear glasses if you have a tear in a contact lens or if you develop an eye infection. It’s a good idea to carry your glasses with you at all times in case you need them.

Can your contact prescription change?

our contact prescription, like your glasses prescription, can change over time. This is because your vision can naturally change over the years.People under age 21 are likely to have changing prescriptions as their eyes continue to grow. People over age 40 may develop presbyopia (aging-related changes to their vision).

Should I put in contacts before or after applying my makeup?

Always put your contacts in before applying makeup or facial lotion. This lowers the risk of getting cosmetics on your contacts or trapped in your eye. You should also wait to apply hand or body cream until you put in your contacts.
