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 practitioner’s directions and all label-
ing instructions for proper use and care of your lenses and
lens care products, including the lens case .
Eye problems, including corneal ulcers, can develop rapid-
ly and lead to loss of vision. Daily wear lenses are not indi -
cated 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 practitioner.
Clinical studies have shown that there is an increased inci-
dence of serious adverse reactions in extended wear con-
tact 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 disinfec-
tion or for disposal and replacement.
Studies have also shown that smokers have a higher inci -
dence of adverse reactions. If you experience eye discom-
fort, excessive tearing, vision changes, redness of the eye,
immediately remove your lenses and promptly contact your
eye care practitioner.
It is recommended that contact lens wearers see their eye
care practitioner twice each year or, if directed, more fre-
quently.
