Eye health & safety

When lenses are not safe, warning signs to stop wearing them, special considerations for kids, pregnancy and post-surgery.
Immediately if you have pain, severe redness, sensitivity to light, blurred vision that doesn't clear, or discharge. These can be early infection signs.
Statistically yes — they have lower infection rates, less protein build-up, and you always wear a fresh, clean lens.
Only with tightly sealed goggles, and ideally with daily disposables that you discard after the swim. Open-water swimming with lenses is not recommended.
Mild inflammation is common and self-limiting. Microbial keratitis (corneal infection) is rare but vision-threatening — treatable if caught early.
No. Tap water can carry Acanthamoeba, a parasite that causes severe and difficult-to-treat corneal infections.
They contain vasoconstrictors that whiten the eye briefly but can mask infection signs, cause rebound redness, and discolour soft lenses.
Anatomically possible from around age 8. The deciding factor is the child's maturity to handle the daily hygiene routine reliably.
Every 3 months, or sooner if it looks discoloured or scratched. Most new MPS bottles include a fresh case for this reason.
Yes — pregnancy does not contraindicate lens wear, but hormonal changes commonly cause dryness and mild prescription shifts. Adjust as needed.
Take it out, inspect for damage, rinse with multi-purpose solution and reinsert. If discomfort persists, switch to your backup pair or glasses and contact your optician.
Most people don't need to after LASIK. If you do (for residual prescription or presbyopia later), specialty fitting from a post-surgery cornea specialist is needed.
Typically 1 to 2 years in the EU, depending on country and your optician's policy. Re-check yearly is recommended even if the prescription has not changed.
Most likely a sensitivity to multi-purpose solution preservatives. Try a preservative-free peroxide system, or switch lens brand for daily disposables.
Often yes — material choice and supportive treatment matter. Daily silicone hydrogels or scleral lenses suit many dry-eye patients.
Better to switch to glasses while sick. Cold-related conjunctivitis is common, and rubbing tired eyes with lens-handling hands transfers virus.
Only in lenses specifically rated for extended or continuous wear, and only as approved by an optician. Sleeping in standard lenses is the biggest contributor to corneal infection.
A defect in the corneal surface, often infected — a medical emergency. Stop lens wear immediately, seek same-day eye care, and follow treatment to the letter.
Yes — one full day per week without lenses, and the occasional 2–3 day break, lets the cornea breathe and resets the tear film.
Some — antihistamines, antidepressants, hormonal contraceptives, isotretinoin, beta-blockers and decongestants commonly reduce tear production. Tell your optician about regular medications.
