Contact Lens Care
Planning Travel Soon?
Air travel can be taxing on your contact lenses and your eyes. Low humidity in the plane's cabin, re-circulating air, and the consumption of coffee or alcohol can make your eyes dry. Long hours can add to the irritation.
Air Travel Tips:
Here are a few tips to help keep your eyes comfortable and healthy while traveling:
- Get your lenses ready. Before you travel, clean and disinfect your gas permeable contact lenses properly with a multi-action solution like Boston Simplus® Multi-Action Solution.
- Keep your body and eyes hydrated by drinking plenty of water before, and while en route.
- Keep multi-action solution, rewetting drops and a clean contact lens case handy while you’re traveling. Boston Simplus® Multi-Action Solution is the only gas permeable multi-action solution sold in a bottle under the 3oz. TSA carry-on limit. You can pack a 2oz. bottle of Boston Simplus® Multi-Action solution and bottle of Boston® Rewetting Drops in a clear, quart size, zip-top plastic bag in your carry-on.
- If your eyes start to feel dry or uncomfortable, moisturize your lenses while wearing them with Boston® Rewetting Drops. If they continue to feel uncomfortable, take them out and put them in your contact lens case with Boston Simplus® Multi-Action Solution .
