After inserting your contact lenses and rinsing the case with disinfectant, do you let the case air-dry face-up or face-down? Face-down seems to be better, says a recent study that checked microbial contamination in cases placed in four different locations: toilet, bathroom, office and bedroom. The cases were rinsed with sterile saline and placed on facial tissue paper.
Have allergies gotten the best of you?
Spring is here and so are allergies! So what can you do to make yourself feel better during this beautiful time of year? Here are a few pointers: Rinse your face and eyes after being outside. Apply cold compresses on your eyes to reduce the inflammation. Wash your hair at night so you are not rolling around in pollen during the night. Use Alaway eye drops (over the counter) to helping with itching. Switch to daily disposable contact lenses during allergy season. If all else fails, make an appointment so I can help manage your allergies year round. For more information about allergies, visit http://www.allaboutvision.com/conditions/allergies.htm
