About Your Contact Lenses FOCUS DAILIES, FOCUS DAILIES Toric, FOCUS DAILIES Progressives, DAILIES AquaComfort Plus, DAILIES AquaComfort Plus Toric, and DAILIES AquaComfort Plus Multifocal (nelfilcon A) One-Day Contact Lenses are made from a proprietary material, nelfilcon A. When placed on the cornea, the lenses correct vision by focusing light onto the retina. DAILIES (nelfilcon A) lenses are available in various lens designs that are used for different kinds of vision correction. Spherical lenses are used to correct nearsightedness (myopia) or farsightedness (hyperopia). Toric lenses are used to correct astigmatism. Progressive or multifocal lenses are used to correct presbyopia. In addition, each of the lens designs comes in a range of prescriptive powers. Your eye care professional will prescribe the appropriate lens design and prescriptive power that’s needed to correct vision in your right and left eye. DAILIES (nelfilcon A) One-Day Contact Lenses with VISITINT are tinted edge to edge in a light blue color to make them easier to see when handling. FOCUS DAILIES Toric and DAILIES AquaComfort Plus Toric lenses have green print marks to help you tell if the lens is right side out and to help your eye care professional evaluate the fit of the lens. The lenses are to be worn once during waking hours only and then discarded at the end of each wearing period. Start the next wearing period with a fresh new lens GETTING READY TO WEAR YOUR LENSES Introduction Good hygiene habits help promote safe, comfortable and successful contact lens wear. Cleanliness is one of the most important aspects of handling for your contact lenses. Starting with clean hands and a sanitary work area helps to reduce the chance of eye infections and irritation. Step 1 – Wash, Rinse, and Dry Hands Wash your hands thoroughly with soap that does not have any oils, lotions, or perfumes. Thorough hand washing will remove dirt, germs, and oils that could get on the lenses and cause irritation or infection. Using the proper soap prevents chemical residues from getting on the lenses. Rinse your hands thoroughly after washing. This removes all traces of soap and dirt. Dry your hands with a lint-free towel. This helps keep lint and dust from getting on your lenses and irritating your eyes. Step 2 – Open the Multipack Carton and Lens Container The Multipack Carton All DAILIES (nelfilcon A) One-Day Contact Lenses are supplied in multipack cartons of individually foil-sealed blister packs. Five blister packs are attached to form a single strip. Locate the opening flap on the multipack carton and pull up to break the seal The Lens Package Each DAILIES (nelfilcon A) One-Day Contact Lenses is supplied in an easy-to-open foil blister pack container designed to maintain sterility of the lens and saline solution. To open an individual container, follow these simple steps. Separate one container from the end of multi-lens strip. Fold along the perforation in the foil label and tear to separate. Shake the lens package gently. Grasp the tapered end of the package between the thumb and forefinger. Peel back the label. Carefully remove the lens from the blister pack. Pour the lens into the palm of your clean hand. If the lens sticks to the bottom of the container gently move it back and forth with the base of your finger until it slides freely. If the lens becomes damaged do not use it. Discard it and use the next lens in the multipack. Do not use tweezers or other tools to remove the lens from the package. This could damage the lens Step 3 – Inspect the Lens for Damage or Foreign Matter Examine the lens to be sure it is clean and wet and does not have any nicks, tears, or particles sticking to it. Place the lens on the tip of your index finger and hold it up against a bright light. If the lens appears damaged, do not use it. Discard it and use the next lens in the multipack Step 4 – Make Sure the Lens Is Right Side Out Check to see that your lens is right side out. A lens that is placed on the 14 eye inside out may not feel comfortable or provide good vision Method 1 – The ‘Taco Test’ One way to do this is to place the lens between your thumb and index finger and gently squeeze the edges together by pressing on the sides of the lens as shown in the picture (A) below. If the edges come together, the lens is right side out. If the edges turn outward, the lens is wrong side out. Carefully reverse it with your fingers. Another way to do the “taco test” is to place the lens between a skin crease in the palm of your hand and gently closing your hand. Method 2 A second way to tell if the lens is right side out is to place the lens on the tip of your index finger and check its profile. If the edge appears bowl-shaped, it is right side out (B). If the edge has a lip or flares outward, it is wrong side out and must be reversed (C). Note: Due to the thin design of DAILIES (nelfilcon A) One-Day Contact Lenses, the lens may appear correct side out even after you have reversed it. If this occurs use the taco test described above. Method 3 FOCUS DAILIES Toric and DAILIES AquaComfort Plus Toric lenses have a printed “OK” inversion mark to help you tell if the lens is right side out. Place the lens on the tip of your index finger. The check is easiest if the print mark is facing towards you: If you can read the letters “OK” from the outside of the lens, the lens is right side out (D) If the letters appear inverted, carefully reverse the lens with your fingers (E). STEP 5 – Place Lens on Eye After you have thoroughly washed, rinsed, and dried your hands, inspected the lens, and made sure it is right side out, you are ready to place the lens on your eye. Remember to start with the same lens first (right or left), then the other lens. This helps avoid getting the lenses mixed up. Place the lens on the tip of your right index finger (left index finger if you are left-handed and this is easier for you). Make sure your finger is completely dry, or the lens will stick to your finger and be difficult to transfer to your eye. Place the middle finger of the same hand close to your lower eyelashes and pull down the lower eyelid (F). Use the fingers of the other hand to lift the upper right eyelid (G). Place the lens directly on the eye (cornea) and gently roll your finger away from the lens. Look down and slowly remove your right hand, releasing the lower lid. Look straight ahead and slowly remove your left hand, releasing the upper lid. Blink gently. The lens should center automatically. Repeat steps 1-7 above for the other lens. Your eye care professional may suggest alternate methods for placement of the lens onto the eye. If your vision is blurred or the lens is uncomfortable after putting on the lens, check for the following: The lens is not centered on the eye (see Centering the Lens, next section) The lens is centered. Remove the lens (see Lens Removal section) and check for the following: Cosmetics, oils, or particles on the lens. Discard the lens and use a fresh, new one. The lens is wrong side out. Invert the lens and reinsert it. The lens is on the wrong eye. The lens may be torn or damaged. If so, do not place the lens back on your eye. Discard the lens and replace it with a new lens If your vision is still blurred or the lens is uncomfortable after checking the above, remove both lenses and contact your eye care professional. After you have successfully inserted your lenses, you should ask yourself: Do the lenses feel good? (There should be no discomfort.) Do my eyes look good? (Your eyes should not be red or swollen or have any discharge.) Is my vision good? (You should be able to see clearly out of each eye individually and together.) If you experience persistent difficulties inserting your lenses or if a lens is exceptionally uncomfortable following insertion remove the lens and contact your eye care professional immediately. Centering the Lens Occasionally a lens will be displaced onto the white part of the eye during lens placement or during lens wear. To center a lens, follow one of the methods below: Look in the direction of the displaced lens. Blink gently. The lens should automatically move toward the center of the eye and into the correct position. Close your eyelids and gently massage the lens into place through the closed eyelid (H). Gently push the off-centered lens onto the cornea with the eye open, using gentle finger pressure on the edge of the upper or lower eyelid. LENS REMOVAL Step 1 - Wash, Rinse, and Dry Hands Wash your hands thoroughly with soap that does not have any oils, lotions, or perfumes. Rinse your hands thoroughly after washing. Dry your hands with a lint-free towel. Step 2 - Make Sure Lens is on the Eye Make sure the lens is centered on your eye before trying to remove it. Cover the other eye; if your vision is blurred, the lens is either off center or not on the eye at all. Locate the lens with a mirror and re- center it using one of the methods described in the section, Centering the Lens . Step 3 - Pull Down Lower Eyelid Look upward, keeping your head level. Pull down the lower lid of your eye with your middle finger. Step 4 - Slide Lens Down While looking up, place the tip of your index finger on the lower one- third of the lens and slide it down onto the lower white part of your eye. Many experienced soft lens wearers remove their lenses directly from the cornea. Due to the thin design of DAILIES (nelfilcon A) One-Day Contact Lenses, grasping the edge may be difficult. Removal directly from the cornea is NOT recommended. Step 5 - Pull Lens Off Eye While still looking up, squeeze the lens between your thumb and index finger. Gently remove the lens from the eye. Your eye care professional may suggest alternate methods for removing the lens from the eye. Step 6 – Discard the lens Repeat Steps 2-6 for the left lens.
