About Me
Hi all, I’m Charity. Welcome to my site about contact lens usage and care. When I started wearing contact lenses, I spent a long time learning how to quickly place them in my eyes. At the end of the day, I would frequently forget to remove them before slipping into bed. I eventually learned to master contact lens usage and care, but it took a lot of time. I hope to help other people quickly learn this important skill and understand the right way to care for their contact lenses. Properly caring for your lenses means better vision and healthy eyes.
