What can I do to avoid serious problems with my contact
lenses?
Ask your eye doctor how often you should have a check-up and see the doctor
according to the recommended schedule.
You run a greater risk of developing serious eye problems such as infection if
you wear lenses overnight.
Order your contact lenses from a supplier you are familiar with and know is
reliable. Contact lenses are often more complex than they appear.
Carefully check to make sure the company gives you:
the exact brand, lens name, power, sphere, cylinder, if any, axis, if any,
diameter, base curve, and peripheral curves, if any. From
