Simply put the lens on your fingertip and pour the solution on it. Then, gently rub it for a few seconds. Once done, replace the old solution with the new one in the storage, place the lens in it, and close the tap tightly. Lastly, replace the contact lens storage case with a new one every 2-3 months for better quality. - Monitor your experience
After every wear of your new coloured contact lenses, inspect your overall experience and whether you feel discomfort. However, also ensure that the lens is checked closely for tears or debris before wearing it. - Follow the guidelines
If this is your first time wearing coloured contact lenses, you must thoroughly read the user guidelines provided with the packaging. In addition, you must ensure you do not overuse the lenses. Check whether they are recommended for daily, weekly, or monthly use. Lastly, ensure that you NEVER fall asleep with your coloured lenses on.
