The American Optometric Association (AOA), the American Academy of Ophthalmology (AAO), and the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) emphasize that proper aftercare is essential to prevent serious complications such as microbial keratitis, Acanthamoeba infection,s and vision loss. These guidelines, developed with input from bodies like the Contact Lens Association of Ophthalmologists (CLAO) and the Contact Lens Section of the AOA, focus on hygiene, compliance, and regular check ups. Noncompliance, such as poor cleaning or skipping visits, is a leading risk factor for infections. We uphold these standards by offering aftercare with every single purchase that is made on our website.
What We Provide:
Personalized Aftercare Guide: With every order, you receive a detailed aftercare email from our optometrist. It covers how to insert, remove, and care for your lenses, wearing schedules, cleaning routines and when to replace your contacts and glasses too.
Hygiene & Safety Tips: We include critical advice on contact lens hygiene (e.g., always having clean hands, proper solution use, etc) and warning signs to watch for (redness, pain, blurred vision). This aligns with the FDA's definition of aftercare, which includes teaching patients to identify signs of infection.
Aftercare Quizzes & Learning: We offer really fun aftercare quizzes that not only test your knowledge but also reinforce best practices for contact lens care. (As a bonus, you earn loyalty points for completing these.)
Proactive Monitoring of Orders: Uniquely, our system monitors your prescription and order history for your safety. We track over a dozen criteria with each order to spot potential red flags. If something looks concerning, our Optometrist will review it, and we’ll send you personalized recommendations, such as a reminder to have an eye test if your prescription has changed by more than 0.50D in 6 months or advice on proper lens replacement if you’re reordering too soon.
Eye Health Content Hub: Our Eye Health Central education portal (written by our Optometrist) is packed with articles on aftercare, eye health and common contact lens issues. We guide you on everything from dealing with dry eyes to the importance of regular check-ups. These resources are freely available so you can stay informed about safe contact lens wear.
Our aftercare program goes even further than the guidelines developed to keep your eyes healthy.
