General good habits:

• Airplanes expose the eyes to dry air, which can lead to discomfort for contact lens wearers. Rewetting drops designed for contact lenses will help relieve dry eyes during the flight.
• Water activities like swimming and water skiing increase the risk of an ocular infection. Contact lens wearers should even be careful in a hot tub.
• Pregnancy can cause visual changes or changes in contact lens tolerance. Talk to your eye care professional if you wear contact lenses while pregnant.
• Never wear someone else’s contact lenses as that can cause damage to your eyes.
• Computer use can cause eye dryness, particularly for contact lens wearers. Apply rewetting drops designed for contact lenses to rehydrate your eyes while at work.
• Sleeping in contact lenses is something you should discuss with your eye care professional. Never sleep in contact lenses unless you are wearing a lens prescribed for that purpose by your eye care professional.
• Always apply your makeup after you've inserted your contact lenses, and remove your lenses before removing makeup.
