Q. How can I help prevent my eyes drying out during the day?

A. Dry, tired eyes are often associated with contact lens wear particularly if you wear your lenses for prolonged periods in air-conditioning &/or under harsh lighting. A good lubricating eye drop is essential for all-day comfort. A couple of drops of Blink™ Contacts Lubricating Eye Drops provides fast relief of dry, tired eyes and can be used by wearers of soft and hard contact lenses. This product is preservative-free in the eye which makes it ideal for sensitive eyes.

Q. I often experience build-up on my lenses which cause my eyes to become irritated. Is there anything I can do to clean my lenses during the day?

A. Despite a diligent cleaning regime, some contact lens wearers regularly experience heavy build-up on their lenses which can affect their vision and irritate their eyes. COMPLETE^® Blink-N-Clean™ Lens Drops cleans and clears your lenses while you wear them. No need to remove your lenses from your eyes to clean them. This product is ideal for sports fans and contact lens wearers with active lifestyles.

Q. My pharmacist recommended another brand of contact lens care solution; is it OK to try something else?

A. Most optometrists and pharmacists agree that when it comes to cleaning, disinfecting, rinsing, storing soft contact lenses, most multi-purpose solutions do a similar job. However, you should always be guided by your eye care professional as to which multi-purpose contact lens solution to use, particularly if you are sensitive to preservatives or prone to build-up on your lenses.

Q. Why should I pay extra to use a multi-purpose solution, when I can buy a saline solution for a lot less?

A. Only a multi-purpose solution can clean, disinfect, remove protein and be used to store your contact lenses safely. Saline solution has no capacity to clean, disinfect or remove deposits. A multi purpose contact lens solution should be an essential part of your cleaning regime to maintain clear vision and minimise the risk of eye infections.

Q. I often find my eyes becoming very tired when I do a lot of computer work. How can I help prevent this?

A. Computer-related fatigue is not uncommon, particularly among contact lens wearers. Eye care practitioners recommend taking regular breaks to relieve the ongoing strain on your eyes. Air-conditioning and harsh office lighting can also be contributing factors. Blink™ Contacts Lubricating Eye Drops provide fast relief of dry, tired eyes and can be used by wearers of soft and hard contact lenses. This product is preservative-free in the eye which makes it ideal for sensitive eyes.
