Contact Lenses & 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 travelling:

Get your lenses ready. Before you travel, clean and disinfect your contact lenses properly with a multi-purpose solution like renu® fresh™ multi-purpose solution.

Remember, saline solution does not disinfect lenses!

Keep your body and eyes hydrated by drinking plenty of water before, and while en route. Keep multi-purpose solution, rewetting drops and a clean contact lens case handy while you're travelling.

If your eyes start to feel dry and uncomfortable, moisturise your lenses while wearing them with rewetting drops like ReNu MultiPlus® lubricating and rewetting drops. If they continue to feel uncomfortable, take them out and put them in your contact lens case with multi-purpose solution.
