Cares for Contact Lenses
Do's and Don'ts of Cosmetics and Contact Lens wear
Do
• Always insert your lenses before applying make-up and always use water-soluble cosmetics.
• Apply eye make-up sparingly and take care not to soil or damage a lens.
• If you should get any make-up on your lenses, remove and clean immediately.
• Apply eye make-up on the outer lid margin only, not the inside.
• Use eye make-up that has been specially formulated to be oil and fragrance free.
• Use a non-oily mascara which is waterproof, to prevent flaking and excessive smudging. Mascara with lash-building fibres should be avoided.
• Remove lenses before removing make-up.
• Replace mascara and eyeliner products every three to six months to avoid contamination.
Don't
• Don’t apply cosmetics if your eyes are red or swollen or infected.
• Don’t allow make-up to come in contact with your lens.
• Don’t use water or saliva to lubricate the make-up applicator. This could cause infection.
• Don’t apply eyeliner to the inner margin of your eyelid.
• Don’t use an oil-based cosmetic remover.
• Don’t use make-up with preservatives if you have any allergies.
• Don’t expose cosmetics to heat.
• Don’t use aerosols with eyes open after lens insertion.
• Don’t share cosmetics.
