- Strict Hygiene: Wash and dry your hands thoroughly before handling your lenses. Use only the recommended cleaning solution (except for daily lenses).
- Follow Wearing Time Limits: Never exceed the recommended wearing time for your lenses (daily, biweekly, or monthly). Always remove them before sleeping unless your optometrist has explicitly approved overnight use.

- Regular Check-Ups: Have your lenses and prescription checked annually. Report any discomfort or changes in vision to your eye care provider.
