If you do not have myopia, you can choose flat contact lenses. For myopic patients, the degree of contact lenses is different from that of framed lenses, so remember to convert them when purchasing. If the degree of astigmatism exceeds 75 degrees or affects vision, it is necessary to formulate astigmatism contact lenses to correct.

When using, care should be taken to keep the bottle mouth of the care solution clean, and it is best to record the date on the bottle after opening to avoid overdue use. Before using the new contact lens case, it is best to scald and disinfect it with boiling water, and then place it in the sun to dry.
