You lenses will need to be cleaned and disinfected overnight after you have worn them. You will be given enough cleaning solutions by Sheffield Children’s but if you run out you can buy more supplies from a local opticians or chemist.
For both soft lenses and hard lenses:
Never use tap water to clean the contact lenses or the case.
Lenses that are not being worn can be stored for up to 4 weeks in this cleaning and disinfecting solution before re-disinfecting.
Replace your lens case every month.
Please check the manufacturer’s information about precautions, warnings and storage instructions.
If you have any queries, please contact the Orthoptic Department on 0114 271 7468.
