CONTACT LENSES.
SO, IF YOU WEAR THEM, THIS SEGMENT IS FOR YOU.
THERE'S NOTHING MORE UNCOMFORTABLE
OR FRUSTRATING THAN LENSES THAT FEEL
DRY OR IRRITATING.
WELL, THE PROBLEM MAY NOT BE THE LENS.
JOINING US THIS MORNING IS DR.
GINA WESLEY FROM COMPLETE EYE CARE OF MADINA
TO TALK TO US ABOUT HOW TO CLEAN YOU CONTACTS.
GOOD MORNING!
THANK YOU FOR HAVING ME.
THANK YOU FOR BEING HERE.
SO, YOU KNOW, MY BROTHER HAS BEEN
WEARING CONTACTS, I DON'T KNOW,
SINCE HE WAS A CHILD TO BE HONEST WITH YOU.
HE'S BLIND AS A BAT.
I ALWAYS TELL HIM THAT.
I STILL HAVE 20/20 SO WE KIND OF
AWESOME.
I ALWAYS TELL HIM I WAS PREFERRED.
ISN'T THAT CUTE?
YEP!
WELL, LET'S TALK ABOUT RINSING OUR
CONTACTS WITH A LENS CARE SOLUTION.
HOW DOES THAT WORK?
SO, THE IMPORTANT THING TO REMEMBER
IS THAT CONTACT LENSES NEED TO BE
CLEANED AND DISINFECTED PROPERLY.
THERE'S SOME MISCONCEPTIONS OUR THERE
ABOUT WHAT YOU SHOULD DO.
THERE'S SALINE SOLUTIONS, WHICH RINSE
CONTACT LENSES.
CORRECT.
BUT YOU NEED TO HAVE A MULTI PURPOSE
CONTACT LENS SOLUTION THAT CLEANS
AND DISINFECTS YOUR LENSES.
THE PROBLEM IS, THAT OFTEN TIMES PEOPLE ARE STILL IRRITATED WHEN
USING THESE SOLUTIONS.
LET ME ASK YOU SOMETHING DOCTOR, WHEN WE EXPERIENCE THAT
IRRITATION OR DISCOMFORT, AND I SEE IT
SOMETIMES WITH MY BROTHER.
IT'S NOT THE LENS?
IT'S NOT ALWAYS THE LENS, OLGA.
NO.
SO, PEOPLE ARE OFTEN NOT CLEANING
OR CARING FOR THEIR CONTACT LENSES
AS THEY SHOULD.
WHAT NEEDS TO HAPPEN IS YOU NEED TO MAKE
SURE YOU'RE USING YOUR CONTACT LENS
SOLUTION AS DIRECTED.
AND WHAT WE ARE NOTICING IS A TREND
FOR PEOPLE TO DO WHAT IS CALLED "TOPPING OFF" OF THEIR
OTHER CONTACT LENS SOLUTION.
WHICH MEANS THEY ARE PUTTING NEW SOLUTION
ON TOP OF OLD SOLUTION.
OH.
SO, THAT MEANS THEY ARE NOT CLEANING IT PROPERLY.
THEY ARE NOT CLEANING IS PROPERLY.
IT'S KIND OF THE EQUIVALENT OF TAKING
A BATH IN BATH WATER YOU HAVE ALREADY USED.
OH!
AND WE ARE HAVING A LOT U.S. CONTACT LENSES WEARERS,
WHEN SURVEYED, ADMIT THAT THEY DO THIS
SOMETIMES IF NOT FREQUENTLY.
AND THAT'S A PROBLEM.
SO, LET ME ASK YOU SOMETHING.
YOU CAN CLEAN AND DISINFECT WITH OUT
PRESERVATIVES OR OTHER IRRITANTS?
YES.
THERE ARE SOME EXCELLENT OPTIONS TO
DO THAT.
THERE IS OBVIOUSLY, THE BEST OPTION
IS TO WEAR A DAILY DISPOSABLE LENS.
AND THAT'S WHAT MY DAUGHTER WEARS.
SAMANTHA.
BUT SHE'S ONLY 12 SO FOR HER
IT'S EASIER JUST TO THROUGH IT AWAY.
RIGHT.
SO, FOR PEOPLE WHO NEED TO CLEAN AND
DISINFECT THEIR CONTACT LENSES, WHAT WE RECOMMEND IS CLEAR CARE
CLEANING AND DISINFECTING SOLUTION.
WHAT THIS SOLUTION DOES IS IT CREATES
A LENS WEARING EXPERIENCE LIKE YOU ARE
WEARING A FRESH LENS EVERY DAY.
IT'S FREE OF SOME OF THOSE HARSH CHEMICALS
AND IRRITANTS THAT CAN CAUSE YOU TO HAVE
FURTHER IRRITATION IN YOUR EYE BECAUSE THOSE CHEMICALS AND
IRRITANTS MAY HAVE STAYED ON THE CONTACT
LENS FROM THE CASE AS YOU PUT IT IN.
ALRIGHT SO SHOW ME HOW IT WORKS.
I THINK IT'S PRETTY EASY.
YEAH!
SO, IT'S VERY EASY.
YOU'RE JUST SIMPLY GOING TO RINSE, FILL, AND SOAK THE LENS.
RINSE, FILL, AND SOAK.
YEAH!
SO, YOU HAVE THIS CONTACT LENS
CASE HERE, IT'S A LITTLE DIFFERENT
THAN NORMAL.
BUT ESSENTIALLY PUTTING THE CONTACT LENS
IN ON EITHER SIDE IN THE BASKET THAT'S THERE.
YOU ARE GOING TO TAKE THIS SOLUTION,
AND IT'S IMPORTANT TO REMEMBER THAT THIS
SOLUTION IS NOT ONE THAT YOU PUT IN YOUR
EYE.
IT'S ONLY ONLY TO CLEAN AND CARE FOR
YOUR LENSES.
PEFECT.
YOU ARE GOING TO RINSE EITHER SIDE.
AND THEN YOU ARE ACTUALLY GOING TO
TAKE THE CONTACT LENS CASE HERE, THE LITTLE VIAL SYSTEM, YOU ARE
GOING TO FILL IT UP TO THE LINE WITH
THIS CLEAR CARE SOLUTION.
OH LOOK AT THE BUBBLES.
YES!
AND THEN WHAT HAPPENS IS, IS YOU TWIST
IT SHUT AND ACTUALLY IT DOES START TO BUBBLE.
AND WHAT HAPPENS IS, IS THERE IS ACTUALLY
HYDROGEN PEROXIDE CLEANING AND KILLING
THE BACTERIA.
YOU CAN SEE THE BUBBLES START TO HAPPEN HERE.
IT'S LOOSENING DIRT, DEBRIS, AND IT'S MAKING YOUR
LENSES AS FRESH AS POSSIBLE.
NOW WHAT HAPPENS IS, AFTER 6 HOURS,
THIS SOLUTION NEUTRALIZES TO A SALINE
THAT IS VERY GENTLY.
AND REMEMBER A SALINE IS A RINSING SOLUTION.
SO, YOU CAN PUT THIS NOW DIRECTLY INTO
YOUR EYE AFTER 6 HOURS OF THE NEUTRALIZATION.
YOU ARE GOING TO BE FREE FROM THOSE HARSH
PRESERVATIVES AND CHEMICALS THAT CAN CAUSE
THAT IRRITATION THAT WE WERE REFERRING TO BEFORE.
AND THOSE LENSES ARE GOING TO FEEL FRESH
AND LIKE BRAND NEW.
AND IT REALLY MAKES A DIFFERENCE.
IT DOES.
