- ‘Dailies’ are called dailies for a reason - please do not use them longer than 1 day.
- You get what you pay for - cheap, low grade lenses will only cause you trouble down the line, and can often hurt your eyes.
- Your eyes are a valuable organ, take care of them and get regular checkups to make sure they’re strong and healthy.
- If you have itchy, painful eyes - take out your lens and give your eyes a break for a couple of days
- If the pain persists, get in touch with an eye doctor for an eye examination
- If the lens begins to irritate again once put them back in, then you should book in for a contact lens fitting appointment. We’ll be able to fit you with the correct pair of lenses, which should be pain-free.
