DIRECTIONS FOR PROPER LENS CARE

CLEANING HANDS:

Before handling contact lenses, hands should be washed thoroughly to remove potential lens contaminants.  We recommend an optical hand soap free of oils, cream, fragrance, and dyes.

CLEANING:

• Wash and rinse your hands using hand soap prior to handling lenses.

• If cleaning your lenses over a sink, make sure the drain plug is in to prevent loss.

• Remove right lens and place in the palm of your hands. NOTE: Always follow the same order to prevent mix-ups.

• Cup hand and cover lens with 10 drops of Menicare GP CDS solution.

• Rub lens for 30 seconds with index finger of the other hand creating a sudsy pool of solution.

• NOTE: The greater the sudsing action, the better the cleaning performance.

• Rinse the lens thoroughly with tap water or saline.

• Place lens in right chamber of lens storage case recommended by your eye care professional.

• Repeat with left lens.  Place in left chamber of  lens storage case recommended by your eye care professional after cleaning.

• Proceed to directions for DISINFECTING/STORAGE.

DISINFECTING/STORAGE:

• Use fresh Menicare GP CDS solution to completely cover the lenses in  lens storage case recommended by your eye care professional. ALWAYS USE FRESH SOLUTION FOR DISINFECTING AND STORING LENSES.

• Close the case tightly and store the lenses in the unopened case for at least six (6) hours.

WETTING/INSERTION

• Wash and rinse hands using hand soap prior to handling lenses.

• Remove right lens from  lens storage case recommended by your eye care professional.

• Rinse all Menicare GP CDS solution from the lens using fresh tap water or saline.  (Make sure that your sink drain is closed.) All Menicare GP CDS solution must be removed from the lens since it will sting and cause irritation if instilled directly in the eye. (SEE: important Safety Information section which follows on opposite page.)

• Apply 2 drops of Menicare GP WRW Drop to each surface of the lens WITHOUT rubbing the lens.

• Insert the lens as instructed by your eye care professional.

• Repeat the procedure with the other lens.

REWETTING AND IN-THE-EYE LUBRICATION

• When eyes feel tired or dry, instill 1 or 2 drops of Menicare GP WRW Drop directly into the eye while the lenses are still being worn.  This will help rewet and rehydrate the lens for continued comfort.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION

Contact lenses and solution, if not handled properly can become contaminated by bacteria that are known to cause ocular infections.  Serious damage to the eye and loss of vision may result from using contaminated solutions or wearing contaminated or damaged lenses.

Never reinsert a contact lens that appears to be damaged.  Never use a contact lens solution that has passed its expiration date which is printed on the label of the bottle.

Always follow you eye care professional's instructions for the care of your eyes, your contact lenses, and your contact lens care products in order to maintain good ocular health.

Always wash your hands with mild unscented soap and rinse before handling your lenses.

To avoid contamination, never touch the dropper tip of the bottle to any surface, including your hands.

Never Re-use any contact lens solution that has been placed in your storage case. Always use fresh soution.

• Always wash your lens storage case with hot water after using and allow to air dry.

• Always close caps on contact lens solutions tightly.

• Store contact lens solutions at room temperature, 15‾30ｰC (59-86ｰF).

• Keep out of reach of children.

Menicare GP solutions are NOT for use with soft (hydrophilic) lenses.

Please note the ingredients in each of the Menicare GP solutions.  If you are allergic to any of the ingredient in any solutions, DO NOT USE.

WARNING: Menicare GP CDS solution is NOT for use directly in the eye.  If accidentally instilled in the eye, the eye will sting and become red.  Flush the eye repeatedly with cool tap water.  If pain or redness persist, consult your eye care professional.  If swallowed, drink extra water.

NOTE: The Menicare GP WRW Drop contain sodium bisulfite, a sulfite that may cause serious allergic reactions (e.g., hives, itching, wheezing, anaphylaxis) in certain susecptible persons.  Although the overall incidence of sulfite sensitivity in the general population is probably low, it is seen most frequently in asthmatics or in atopic non-asthmatic persons.  If you are allergic to sodium bisulfite, DO NOT USE Menicare GP WRW Drop.

Recent studies have shown that contact lens case can develop a difficult to remove microscopic film.  This film is a potential source of contact lens contamination and ocular irritation.  To avoid this, lens cases should be cleaned daily and replaced every three months.
