WARNINGS: PROBLEMS WITH CONTACT LENSES AND LENS CARE PRODUCTS COULD
RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY TO THE EYE.
It is essential that you follow your eye care professional’s directions and all labeling
instructions for proper use and care of your lenses and lens care products, including the
lens case. Eye problems, including corneal ulcers, can develop rapidly and lead to loss of
vision. Daily wear lenses are not indicated for overnight wear and should not be worn
while sleeping. Clinical studies have shown the risk of serious adverse reactions is
increased when these lenses are worn overnight. Extended wear lenses should be
regularly removed for cleaning and disinfection or for disposal and replacement on the
schedule prescribed by your eye care professional. Clinical studies have shown that there
is an increased incidence of serious adverse reactions in extended wear contact lens
users as compared to daily wear contact lens users. Studies have also shown that the
risk of serious adverse reactions increases the longer extended wear lenses are worn
before removal for cleaning and disinfection or for disposal and replacement. Studies
have also shown that smokers have a higher incidence of adverse reactions. If you
experience eye discomfort, excessive tearing, vision changes, redness of the eye,
immediately remove your lenses and promptly contact your eye care professional. It is
recommended that contact lens wearers see their eye care professional twice each year,
or if directed, more frequently.
You should fill your lens case with fresh solution every time you store your lenses, and
never “top-off” or re-use solution. You should discard your solution immediately after your
lenses have been removed from the lens case. You should not expose or store your
lenses in or rinse your lens case with any water, such as tap, bottled or distilled, or with
any non-sterile solution.
Empty, then clean and rinse your lens case with renu fresh multi-purpose solution. Air
dry your lens case each time you remove your lenses. In order to permit excess solution
to drain, you can flip over your lens case while air drying. Replace your lens case monthly.
Failure to discard solution from lens case after each use or use of water to care for
your lenses may lead to contamination resulting in eye injury and potential loss of
vision. See accompanying instructions for additional important safety information.

lead to vision loss.

ADVERSE REACTIONS (Problems and what to do):
The following problems may occur: eyes sting, burn or itch (irritation), comfort is less than
when lens was first placed on the eye, feeling of something in the eye (foreign body,
scratched area), excessive watering (tearing) of the eye, unusual eye secretions, redness
of the eye, reduced sharpness of vision (poor visual acuity), blurred vision, rainbows or
halos around objects, sensitivity to light (photophobia), or dry eyes.
If you notice any of the above:
IMMEDIATELY REMOVE YOUR LENSES.
• If the discomfort or problem stops, then look closely at the lens.
• If the lens is in any way damaged, DO NOT put the lens back on your eye. Place the
lens in the storage case and contact your eye care professional.
• If the lens has dirt, an eyelash, or other foreign body on it, or the problem stops and the
lens appears undamaged, thoroughly clean, rinse and disinfect the lens, then reinsert it.
• If the problem continues, IMMEDIATELY remove the lens and consult your eye care
professional.
If any of the above symptoms occur, a serious condition such as infection, corneal ulcer,
neovascularization or iritis may be present. Seek immediate professional identification of
the problem and prompt treatment to avoid serious eye damage.
GOOD LENS CARE PRACTICES:
• Always wash and rinse your hands before you handle your lenses.
• Clean, rinse and disinfect your lenses each time you remove them.
