Why would you buy a lens plopper?

To wear contact lenses safely, it's important to handle them properly and replace them when necessary. A lens plunger can be a handy tool for safely removing your lenses from your eyes.

Millions of people choose to wear contact lenses. However, they're not suitable for everyone. Your cornea and tear film must be healthy to be comfortable and see clearly with contact lenses. You may not be able to wear lenses for the following reasons:
• you get a lot of eye infections.
• you have severe allergies or dry eyes that are difficult to treat.
• you work or live somewhere where it is very dusty.
• you cannot take proper care of your contact lenses.

Contact lens risks
Contact lenses that are old or don't fit properly can scratch your eyes. They can also cause blood vessels to grow into the cornea, a dangerous condition that threatens your vision. Eye drops can also cause problems with your contact lenses. It's best to avoid any kind of eye drops while wearing contact lenses. However, you can use rewetting drops, as recommended by your eye doctor.
Remove your contact lenses and call your eye doctor immediately if your eyes are very red, painful, watery, or sensitive to light. Do the same if you have blurred vision or notice a discharge (mucus or pus) coming from your eye. These can be symptoms of serious eye problems.

Cleaning contact lenses
It's important to clean and care for your lenses to minimize the risk of eye infections. If you wear reusable lenses, you should maintain a cleaning routine to ensure your eyes stay in top condition. Here are a few tips:
• After removing your lenses, gently rub with a few drops of solution for about 20 seconds.
• Carefully place your lenses in your contact lens case for storage. The case should be clean and filled with fresh solution.
• If you're unsure of the best way to keep your lenses and case clean, consult the instructions that came with your contact lens solution to ensure you're doing everything exactly as you should.
• Remember: never use tap water to clean your lenses or contact lens case, as this can lead to eye infections.
