Oh No! My Contact Lens is Damaged - What Should I Do?

Don't stress!!! We've got your back with some easy tips on what to do when your lens is looking less than perfect.

1.Keep Calm and Assess the Damage

Before you panic, take a deep breath and have a good look at your lens. Is it just a small nick, or is the lens completely torn? Understanding the extent of the damage will help you decide your next move.

2.Don't Ignore the Issue

We get it, you're busy and maybe you think you can just power through the day. But wearing a damaged lens can be uncomfortable at best and harmful at worst. It's not worth the risk!

3.Remove the Lens

If your lens is damaged, the first thing you should do is remove it. Make sure your hands are clean and use a proper technique to avoid further damage to your eye or the lens.

4.Inspect Your Eye

Once the lens is out, take a moment to check your eye for any debris or discomfort. If you notice anything unusual, it might be time to give your eye a little rest.

5.Dispose of the Damaged Lens

Throw away the damaged lens. Don't try to fix it or reuse it. We know, it's tempting to save a buck, but your eye health is worth so much more!
 

6.Reach for a Backup

If you have a spare lens, now's the time to pop it in. If you're out of backups, it might be time to invest in a backup pair. You never know when a damaged lens will strike!

7.Contact Your Eye Doctor

If you're not sure what caused the damage or if you have any concerns, consult your eye doctor. They can provide expert advice and ensure your eyes are in tip-top shape.

8.Prevent Future Damage

To avoid future mishaps, here are some pro tips:
  • Always handle your lenses with care.
  • Clean and store them properly.
  • Replace your lenses as recommended by your eye care professional.
  • Avoid wearing them for longer than intended.
  • Do not wear contact lenses when sleeping or bathing or swimming.
  • If eye secretions increase, use a cotton swab instead of rubbing your eyes with your hands.
  • It is not recommended to wear lenses during sports, such as boxing, fighting, bungee jumping, etc.
  • The human body sweats a lot, and sweat entering the eyes will affect the cleanliness of the lenses to a certain extent, and at the same time affect the wearing comfort and cause eye discomfort.
