Essential Contact Lens Hygiene Practices
Good hygiene protects your eyes and helps prevent infections. Adasat’s licensed optometrists provide clear, practical guidance—whether you’re trying lenses for the first time or refining your routine. Start by discovering our Adasat online platform for easy ordering and after-care support.
Daily Cleaning and Disinfection
Daily disposable lenses: wear once, then discard—no cleaning required.
Reusable lenses (bi-weekly, monthly, six-month): follow this routine unless your eye care professional advises otherwise:
-
Wash and dry your hands thoroughly with soap and water before handling lenses.
-
Rub and rinse each lens with the recommended multi-purpose solution or use a hydrogen peroxide system that fully neutralizes before wear (never place unneutralized peroxide in your eye).
-
Store lenses in a clean case filled with fresh disinfecting solution—do not top up old solution.
Avoid tap water on lenses or cases to prevent exposure to harmful microorganisms. Always follow your lens manufacturer’s and optometrist’s instructions.
Proper Storage Techniques
Use a dedicated lens case and replace it every three months. After each use, empty the case, rinse with fresh solution (not water), and air-dry face down with caps off. Store your lenses in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. For longer storage, use only sterile products designed specifically for contact lens care.
What Are the Risks of Poor Contact Lens Hygiene?
Insufficient lens care can lead to complications such as microbial keratitis and corneal ulcers, which may threaten vision if left untreated. A consistent routine—clean hands, timely lens replacement, and proper disinfection—significantly lowers risk. If you experience persistent discomfort or vision changes, remove your lenses and arrange an eye exam with our team in Dubai.
Signs of Eye Infections to Watch For
Remove lenses and seek professional advice if you notice any of the following:
1. Redness, soreness, or swelling
3. Unusual discharge or excessive tearing
4. Light sensitivity
5. Blurred or decreased vision
Common Symptoms of Infection
Redness, discharge, pain, and sensitivity to light are common warning signs. Before your visit, note recent activities (e.g., swimming or heavy allergen exposure) to help your optometrist diagnose accurately.
When to Seek Professional Help
If symptoms persist or worsen, remove your lenses and contact a licensed optometrist. Regular eye exams—typically every 6–12 months—help keep your prescription accurate, ensure proper fit, and catch issues early. You can schedule eye exam Dubai appointments and get personalized care from Adasat’s expert team.

Frequently Asked Questions
What are the best practices for contact lens hygiene?
Wash and dry hands before handling lenses, clean and disinfect reusable lenses after every wear, use fresh solution each time, and replace your lens case every three months. Never use tap water on lenses or cases.
How often should I clean my contact lenses?
Clean reusable lenses every time you remove them. Daily disposable lenses should be discarded after a single day’s wear—no cleaning required. Follow the instructions provided with your care solution.
