- Put your contact lenses on before you apply makeup.
- Using water-resistant mascara and eyeliner can help to prevent flaking or smudging.
- Hypoallergenic or oil-free make-up and make-up removers are the best choice when wearing lenses.
- Avoid wearing contact lenses when having your hair dyed or permed as the chemicals can cause irritation to your eyes.
- If using hairspray, try to apply it before putting on your contact lenses. If you have contact lenses on already, ensure you close your eyes when applying hairspray.
- If your eyes are swollen, red, or infected, contact your eye care professional, and don’t wear make-up or contact lenses.
