If you're out of contact lens solution, you might be tempted to rinse your lenses with tap water. Don't do it! Water sometimes has microbes that can cause serious eye infections.
Replace your lenses as often as the doctor suggests, even if you don't wear them every day. For instance, if you have the disposable kind that are good for one wearing, throw them out after you've worn them once, even if they still feel fresh. When you wear lenses for more days than you should, or when you sleep in lenses that aren't made for overnight wear, you raise your risk of eye infections.Always wash your hands before you put your lenses in or take them out.
Some systems have separate products for cleaning and rinsing."No-rub" solutions say that rinsing alone will clean the lenses, but research suggests that rubbing cleans better. With hydrogen peroxide solution you put your lenses in a basket that goes in a cup of solution. Also, hydrogen peroxide solution will have a red cap, which means never put it directly in your eyes. Let the lens soak in the solution for the amount of time specified before putting the lens back in your eyes.
