Contact lenses – safety and hygiene
A new study published in March in “Ophthalmology” on COVID-19 patients found that there was no evidence of the virus in tear samples.
The study thus suggests a low risk of transmission to the eyes, which is good news. Contact lenses can therefore continue to be worn safely. It is certainly time to continue to maintain strict hygiene when wearing contact lenses. All approved care products for contact lenses efficiently kill the coronavirus. If you want to play it safe, wear 1 day contact lenses. Another good summary can be downloaded here as a pdf.
The following steps are still very important:
- Wash hands thoroughly with soap and water for at least 20 seconds, and dry hands completely.
- Use 1 day contact lenses if possible.
- If care solutions are required, use them as directed. In particular, do not refill or reuse solutions.
- Replace the containers monthly or more frequently.
- Rinse the contact lens cases daily and allow them to air dry inverted.
- Do not wear contact lenses when you are sick.
- Do not sleep with your contact lenses unless medically necessary.
