If you’ve recently invested in Dahab Lenses, you’re likely already enjoying their striking colors and comfortable wear. To keep your lenses in top condition for as long as possible, proper care is essential. This guide will walk you through key tips for maintaining your Dahab Lenses so they stay comfortable, safe, and durable over time.
Clean Your Dahab Lenses Properly After Each Use
Cleaning your lenses daily is crucial to prevent bacteria and debris from building up on the lens surface. After removing your Dahab Lenses, follow these steps:
Place each lens in the palm of your hand and add a few drops of a multi-purpose solution (as recommended by your eye care provider).
Use your fingertip to gently rub the lens in circular motions, which removes any residue.
Rinse the lenses thoroughly with the solution, ensuring all traces of dirt are gone.
Store your lenses in fresh solution in a clean lens case, allowing them to disinfect until your next use.
Store Dahab Lenses Correctly to Extend Their Lifespan
Improper storage can lead to damage, dryness, or contamination. Use a clean, sterilized contact lens case and fresh solution each day to maintain optimal lens condition. Replace your lens case every one to three months to avoid bacterial buildup. Avoid reusing solution as this can diminish its disinfecting power and increase the risk of eye infections.
Avoid Wearing Dahab Lenses Overnight
ile some contact lenses are designed for extended wear, Dahab Lenses are intended for daily wear and should be removed before sleep. Wearing lenses overnight restricts oxygen flow to the cornea, which can lead to eye irritation or infections. Make it a habit to remove your lenses every night to ensure both comfort and eye health.
Handle Dahab Lenses with Clean Hands and Avoid Water Contact
Before touching your lenses, wash your hands thoroughly with soap and water, then dry them with a lint-free towel. Avoid using lotions or oily products, as these can transfer to the lenses and affect clarity. Additionally, never expose your Dahab Lenses to water from taps, pools, or other sources. Water can carry harmful microorganisms that pose serious risks to your eyes, so always keep your lenses away from any water contact.
