Contact lens

Caring for your contact lenses is important to the health of your eyes. Lenses start to feel uncomfortable when protein deposits form on the lens’ surface. These deposits, found naturally in the tear fluid of your eyes, accumulate on the lens over a period of weeks and months.

How to use contact lens
