With our lives increasingly revolving around screens—whether for work, study, ...
Do you remember why you made the switch? From sports on the weekend to busy days at work or school, contact lenses fit easily into life. They all you to move freely and see clearly without adjusting a frame or worrying about fogged-up lenses. Not to mention how much more you enjoy selfies and family photographs.
That’s why National Contact Lens Health Week [August 18th—22nd] is the gentle reminder we all need; that the comfort and clarity you enjoy comes with a little responsibility—caring for your lenses so they care for your eyes in return.
Whether you’ve worn them for years or only recently made the switch from glasses, small daily habits make a big difference.
Good contact lens care doesn’t need to be complicated—in fact, if it was you wouldn’t do it. It’s about doing the simple things every time:
These small habits go a long way in assisting you to maintain comfort and reduce the chance of irritation.
Australian optometry standards limit a contact lens prescription to 12 months. Why? This ensures every wearer has a full review of their vision and eye health each year before a prescription is renewed. It’s not about expecting your prescription to change—it’s about making sure your eyes remain healthy for the way you live.
Contact lens wearers may experience gradual changes in eye health, such as mild dryness or lens-related irritation, without noticing it straight away. An annual review gives your optometrist the chance to spot these early and adjust your lenses or care routine if needed.
It’s more than a duty of care. Consider this your gentle reminder to invest in the comfort and clarity that makes contact lenses such a great choice in the first place.
