- Ensure you know how to properly insert, wear, remove and clean your contact lenses.
- For multiple-use lenses, you will need multipurpose contact lens solution to clean and store your lenses.
- Clarify whether your item is backordered (requires additional processing time). Backordered products include all custom-made toric and high-Rx lenses and are as marked on the product listing.
