ARE SUMITA COLOR PERFECT COLOR CONTACTS SAFE?

When fitted, worn and cared for properly, color contact lenses can provide a safe and unique way to enhance your appearance. However, problems associated with wearing contact lenses (clear or color) and using contact lens care products may result in serious eye injury, scarring of the cornea, and loss of vision.

FREQUENT REPLACEMENT CONTACT LENSES ARE SUPPOSED TO BE DISCARDED AFTER A PERIOD OF TIME (1 DAY, 1 WEEK, 1 MONTH, ETC). CAN I CONTINUE TO WEAR THEM IF THEY ARE STILL COMFORTABLE AFTER THE RECOMMENDED WEARING PERIOD?

Contact lens materials vary, and contacts should not be worn for longer than the wearing period recommended by your eye care professional. It is important to replace contact lenses on a frequent basis to help prevent discomfort, dryness, blurred vision or allergic reaction that can result from a build-up of protein and lipid deposits on the contact lenses.

ARE THERE TIMES WHEN YOU SHOULD NOT WEAR CONTACT LENSES?

IS IT SAFE TO SHARE CONTACT LENSES WITH OTHERS?

  • No. Don’t share your contact lenses with anyone!

Always remove your contact lenses and clean with multi-purpose disinfecting solution. Please refer to the instruction manual that comes in every box of Color Perfect Lenses.

 

WHY DO OTHER CONTACT LENS HAVE MORE OR LESS WATER CONTENT? 

Having more or less water content does not mean one is worse than the other. Some contact lens wearers are more comfortable wearing thin, low water contact lenses, and others are more comfortable wearing thicker, high water contact lenses. Sumita Color Perfect lenses have a 38% water content in the middle range of low and high-water content. Always consult with an eye care professional for recommendations on what is better for you. 

 

HOW DO I PUT IN MY CONTACT LENSES? 

Before you start:wash your hands with soap (preferably non-perfumed, anti-bacterial liquid soap), then rinse and dry your hands with a lint-free towel.

 

Check that the lens isn't inside out:

To do this, just put the lens on the tip of your finger and hold it up to the light. If the edges flare out, it's inside out. It should look like a bowl with straight edges.

 

Using your right hand, gently hold your upper eyelid with one finger so you don’t blink or get your eyelashes in the way, and carefully pull down your lower eyelid with your other fingers.

 

Move the contact lens toward your eye steadily. Look upward as you place it on your eye, and slowly release your eyelid and close your eye for a moment to allow the lens to settle. Repeat for your other eye.

IMPORTANT: Never rinse your contact lenses or lens case with tap water. 

 

 

DO SUMITA COLOR PERFECT LENSES BLOCK UV LIGHT? 

Yes, Color Perfect lenses block UV-A 85% and UV-B 98%

 

CAN I REUSE THE SOLUTION IN WHICH I KEPT THE CONTACT LENSES? 

No. The solution is effective and performs its function of cleaning and preserving contact lenses only once.
