Contact Lenses & Care
Planning Travel Soon?
Air travel can be taxing on your contact lenses and your eyes. Low humidity in the plane's cabin, re-circulating air, and the consumption of coffee or alcohol can make your eyes dry. Long hours can add to the irritation.
Air Travel Tips
Here are a few tips to help keep your eyes comfortable and healthy while traveling:
Get your lenses ready. Before you travel, clean and disinfect your contact lenses properly with a multi-purpose solution like ReNu MultiPlus® Solution.
Remember, saline solution does not disinfect lenses!
- Keep your body and eyes hydrated by drinking plenty of water before, and while en route.
- Keep multi-purpose solution, rewetting drops and a clean contact lens case handy while you're traveling.
- If your eyes start to feel dry and uncomfortable, moisturise your lenses while wearing them with rewetting drops like ReNu MultiPlus® lubricating and rewetting drops. If they continue to feel uncomfortable, take them out and put them in your contact lens case with multi-purpose solution.
