Your habits: • Wash and dry your hands before touching your contacts. • Don’t sleep in your contacts (unless your eye doctor tells you it’s OK). • Avoid wearing contacts while showering, swimming, or using a hot tub. Always be prepared! Carry a pair of glasses in case you need to take out your contacts. CS244747-A Publication date from document details.
