Eye Care for Contact Lenses

Makeup and Contact Lenses

You must take great care not to get makeup on your contact lenses, where it can cause eye irritation or possibly introduce bacteria. It’s important to insert your contact lenses before you apply makeup or hair gel. At the end of the day, be sure to wash your hands and remove your contact lenses (and clean, rinse and disinfect them) before removing your makeup so that you don’t trap mascara or cover-up or glitter on the surface of your contact lenses.

Red Eyes or Irritated Eyes

Remove contact lenses and see an eyecare professional.

If your eyes become red, irritated or itchy, remove your contact lenses and see your eyecare specialist. Don't take any risks, and your eyecare proffesional can quickly relieve your symptoms and, more importantly, spot anything serious early on.
