​​Contact Lens Wear & Care

This page is designed to help you in remembering the instructions given to you about your contact lenses.  It is essential that you strictly adhere to the wearing schedule, care and cleaning regimen, and follow up visit schedule prescribed.  It is also important to communicate regularly with Dr. Chang about your progress as you become accustomed to your new lenses.

Commonly asked Questions:

Picture
Can I sleep in my contact lenses? 
  • Certain contact lenses can be worn as you sleep. However, the risk of eye problems increases with overnight wear. Your eye doctor is the only one that can determine if overnight wear is the right option for you. If so, he/she can offer you information on proper overnight use and replacement schedules. 
What are the advantages of daily disposable contact lenses? 
  • Daily disposable lenses are worn just one time and then discarded; as a result, most doctors agree that the healthiest option for contact lens wearers. In addition, clinical research shows that changing contact lenses daily may improve comfort for people suffering from mild discomfort and/or itching associated with allergies, compared to lenses replaced at intervals of greater than two weeks. 
How can I tell if my contact lenses are inside out?
  • Pay attention to the shape of your lens before applying.
