Are Contact Lenses Worn Before or After Makeup?
Many have the misconception that makeup should be applied before inserting contact lenses. However, the opposite should be done. Lenses should be inserted first, and then makeup should be applied. In the evenings, contact lenses should be removed, and after placing the lenses in lens solution, eye makeup should be cleaned. Of course, one must be very careful while applying makeup and avoid overdoing it, as makeup smudging can also damage the lenses.
When Should Contact Lenses Be Removed?
If you experience burning, pain, or swelling in your eyes, you must remove your contact lenses and see an eye doctor. Lenses should also be removed while bathing and sleeping. Hands must be thoroughly disinfected before removing lenses.
