When it comes to wearing contacts, healthy habits mean healthy eyes. Follow these tips to help prevent eye infections.

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.
