Contact Lens Guide

Proper care is necessary for successful wear, normal lens life and good eye health. 

Dr. Barit recommends using the following contact lens solutions:  

Opti-Free Replenish

Complete

Renu Multiplus

Clear Care
(Please follow directions carefully with this solution)

These solutions have been recommended specifically for your lenses and eyes.  Since they vary significantly from one manufacturer to another, do not change or substitute brands unless you check with us first.  Use of improper solutions may result in lens damage or eye irritation.

The adaptability of your eyes is the key factor in determining wearing time.  Do not exceed the wearing schedule Dr. Barit has prescribed for you.

Remember, like any medical device, contact lenses must be monitored on a regular basis.  Professional follow-up care is the most important element in successful long term lens wear.  Please keep your scheduled appointments.

Contact lenses are medical devices for correcting vision.  Improper care and handling o contact lenses has been proven to increase your risk of developing serious eye infections.  Always follow the instructions given to you by Dr. Barit.

Anytime a contact lens is worn overnight, whether approved by manufacturer for overnight wear or not, you are at a greater risk for contact lens complications.
