Night lenses: dos and don’ts

On a daily basis

  • DRL® night lenses are intended to be worn with your eyes closed: put them on just before you fall asleep, avoiding wearing them for any activity (reading, television, other screens, etc.).
  • A regular sleep cycle of a minimum of 6 hours is necessary for effective treatment.
  • Do not wear your night lenses during the day.
  • Always carry your lenses in a case: in case you experience a loss of vision in the evening, you may exceptionally wear them.

For children

  • For children equipped with DRL® night lenses, it is essential for parents to ensure impeccable hygiene and strict adherence to care and handling instructions that ensure safe wearing.
  • ‐ If the parents cannot guarantee this for a moment (during school trips, holidays, etc., during which the insertion, removal and maintenance of the lenses are no longer under their control), it is advisable to stop wearing the lenses during the period concerned, in consultation with the practitioner.

Renewal

  • For the safety and effectiveness of the treatment, it is essential to renew your DRL® night lenses every year to avoid any alteration of their material or geometry

Interruption of wearing

  • If you stop wearing your lenses at night for a week or more, do a full cycle of maintenance before putting your lenses back in. If you notice visual or eye discomfort, make an appointment with your specialist.
