Update: February 12th, 2010
Some general rules will help you care for your contact lenses and keep your eyes happy and healthy. Do not apply any makeup until after you have your contact lenses comfortably inserted. You do not want to get makeup between you eye and your contact lens, this will cause you extreme discomfort. Using tap water to clean your contact lenses is not recommended. Some tap water may contain bacteria that can be dangerous if it is introduced to the eye. This bacteria could cause a serious infection that could lead to blindness. Follow these recommendations to ensure comfort when you wear your contacts.
