Safe usage requires following these guidelines: - Always wash your hands: thoroughly before handling lenses. - Use only recommended contact lens solution to clean, rinse, and store your lenses never tap water or saliva. - Follow the wear time guidelines. Most sclera lenses are designed for short-term wear, which lasts from 4 to 8 hours during each usage session. - Never share your lenses with anyone else.
