👁️ How to Safely Wear Colored Contacts at School

New to colored contacts? Here's what every student needs to know before wearing them on campus:

✅ Always wash your hands before inserting or removing lenses.
✅ Never share contacts — even with your best friend. Sharing lenses spreads bacteria and infection.
✅ Limit wear to 8 hours/day — especially during long study sessions in front of screens.
✅ Use proper lens solution — never tap water or saliva. Keep a small bottle in your bag.
✅ Take them out before napping — falling asleep in contacts (even for a short nap between classes) can cause serious eye irritation.
✅ Get an eye exam first — even for plano (non-prescription) lenses, knowing your base curve and diameter ensures the best fit and comfort.
