FOR CORNEAL HEALING
AND OCULAR PROTECTION
WHAT IS BANDAGE CONTACT LENS ?
A bandage contact lens is a soft, therapeutic contact lens prescribed by eye care professionals to protect and heal the surface of the eye. Unlike regular vision-correcting lenses, bandage lenses do not improve eyesight but act like a protective barrier over the cornea. They help relieve pain, promote healing, and shield the eye from further irritation or damage. These lenses are commonly used after eye surgery, injuries, corneal abrasions, or in cases of severe dry eye or recurrent corneal erosion. They also help retain moisture and allow medication to stay on the eye longer for more effective treatment.

Who Needs Bandage Contact Lenses?
Bandage contact lenses are recommended for individuals with corneal injuries, post-surgical eye care needs, or chronic ocular surface disorders. They are ideal for patients with corneal abrasions, recurrent corneal erosions, or severe dry eye syndrome. These lenses act as a protective barrier, promoting healing and reducing pain by shielding the eye from friction caused by blinking or environmental exposure. People recovering from LASIK or other refractive surgeries may also benefit from bandage lenses to support tissue repair and enhance comfort. In many therapeutic cases, bandage lenses are a key part of restoring ocular health and improving overall eye comfort.
WHY BANDAGE CONTACT LENSES ?
Bandage contact lenses promote corneal healing by acting as a protective shield over the eye’s surface, allowing damaged tissue to repair without constant irritation from blinking or external elements. These soft, therapeutic lenses create a moist, stable environment that supports natural regeneration, especially after injuries, surgeries, or abrasions. By reducing friction and shielding nerve endings, they accelerate healing and provide lasting comfort.

HOW TO TAKE CARE OF BANDAGE LENSES ?
Wash Hands
Always wash your hands thoroughly with soap and water before handling your contact lenses. Dry your hands with a clean towel.
Avoid Sleeping in Contacts
Avoid sleeping with your contact lenses in, as this can reduce oxygen supply to the cornea and increase the risk of infection.
Avoid Water Contact
Never use tap water to clean lenses or lens case. Do not wear contact lenses while swimming, showering, as water can introduce harmful bacteria and microorganisms into your eyes.
Replacement Schedule
Replace your lens case every 3 months to prevent bacterial growth. Don’t extend the wear period beyond what your eye doctor suggests.
Always Use Lens Solution
Always use the recommended lens solution (saline, multipurpose, or disinfecting solution) to clean, rinse, and store your lenses.
Monitor for Discomfort
If you experience any irritation, dryness, or discomfort while wearing your contacts, remove them and consult your eye doctor if the issue persists.
