Duette contact lenses offer great vision and comfort. Duette combines two types of materials into one unique lens. The lens center is made of rigid material to give you great, stable vision. The soft skirt keeps the lenses comfortable throughout the day. No other contact lens uses the dual material design to provide great vision and comfort in a single lens.
How To Insert Your Lenses:
Always wash your hands with mild soap and dry them well with a lint-free towel before handling the lenses. It is a good idea to handle your lenses in the same order each time to avoid getting them mixed up. Putting in Duette lenses is just like putting in a soft contact lens.
1.) Place the lens on the tip of your finger. A drop of preservative-free lubricant can be added to the bowl, if desired.
2.) Pull down on you lower lid and gently place the lens on your eye. Slowly release your eyelid and blink several times.
How To Remove Your Lenses:
First, practice removing your lenses with a tissue. The tissue should make removing these moist lenses easy, and can always be used as a “back-up” removal method if needed.
1.) Place the tissue over your forefinger and thumb.
2.) Using a strong narrow pinch, with the fingertips at the 5 and 7 o’clock positions on the lens, apply slight pressure; wait for a “1, 2” count and then roll fingertips together and back toward the palm of the hand.
Once you are comfortable and confident using a tissue to remove your lenses, you can practice removing the lenses without the tissue, using a strong narrow pinch with very dry fingers (in place of the dry tissue).
1.) Using one hand, pull your upper lid back.
2.) Using your finger on the opposite hand, pull down your lower lid gently.
3.) Place very dry fingertips at the 5 and 7 o’clock positions on the lens and apply slight pressure; wait for a “1, 2” count and then roll fingertips together and back toward the palm of the hand.
4.) Fingers need to be dried with a towel between each removal attempt. Rubbing fingers together until heat is felt from the friction will also ensure fingers are completely dry.
Caring For Your Lenses:
Make sure you clean your Duette Contact Lenses daily!
1.) Place the lens bowl-side up in the palm of your hand. Rinse your lenses with a daily cleaner approved for soft contact lenses. Never use tap water to rinse or store your lenses.
2.) With the pad of your ring finger, gently rub the entire lens in a circular motion against the palm of your hand. Be sure to thoroughly clean the front and back of the lens and then rinse it well with a saline solution.
3.) Store your lenses in either a hydrogen peroxide system OR multi-purpose disinfecting solution, as recommended by your eye care professional.
The recommended replacement schedule for Duette lenses is every six months.
It is important that you always follow your eye care professional’s instructions. Based on your individual needs, your eye care professional may recommend a different replacement schedule.
