Contact lenses are defined as medical devices by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA).

While contact lenses are extremely safe, it is important to take good care of your lenses. Proper lens treatment can reduce the risk of infection, complications, and ensure the continued good health of your eyes.

The care is different for each lens so it is especially important to listen to the guidelines set down by your eye care provider.
