MONTHLY REPLACEMENT

1. Wash your hands thoroughly with soap and dry them well before handling your lenses.

2. Do not use tap water to clean or store your lenses or lens case.

3. Your lens care solution is part of a winning combination for comfortable wear. Has your eye care professional recommended Clearcare solution? Before changing solutions, it is best to discuss it with your optometrist. Avoid “store brand” solutions, as these are often old formulations and may not be compatible with your lenses. Also, be sure not to use a solution if the expiration date has passed.

4. To keep your lenses comfortable, clean them by rubbing them from the center to the edge with the prescribed solution.

5. Always close the solution bottle and change your solution after each use. Never add solution to the case if there is already solution in it.

6. Keep your case clean at all times by cleaning it with the solution and letting it dry completely in the open air. Replace your case every three months at most. You can bring your old cases back to Uvée – your local optometrist – for recycling.
