WARNINGS

PROBLEMS WITH CONTACT LENSES AND LENS CARE PRODUCTS COULD RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY TO THE EYE. It is essential that you follow your eye care practitioner’s directions and all labeling instructions for proper use and care of your lenses and lens care products, including the lens case. EYE PROBLEMS, INCLUDING CORNEAL ULCERS, CAN DEVELOP RAPIDLY AND LEAD TO LOSS OF VISION.

Daily wear lenses are not indicated for overnight wear and should not be worn while sleeping. Clinical studies have shown that the risk of serious adverse reactions is increased when these lenses are worn overnight.

Extended wear lenses should be regularly removed for cleaning and disinfection or for disposal and replacement on the schedule prescribed by your eye care practitioner.

Clinical studies have shown that there is an increased incidence of serious adverse reactions in extended wear contact lens users as compared to daily wear contact lens users. Studies have also shown that the risk of serious adverse reactions increases the longer extended wear lenses are worn before removal for cleaning and disinfection or for disposal and replacement.

Studies have also shown that smokers had a higher incidence of adverse reactions.

It is recommended that contact lens wearers see their eye care practitioner once a year or if directed, more frequently.

To avoid contamination, do not touch the dropper tip of the bottle to any surface. Replace cap after using.

PRECAUTIONS

  • Keep bottle tightly closed when not in use.
  • Store at room temperature.
  • Use before the expiration date marked on the bottle and carton.
  • Keep out of the reach of children.

ADVERSE REACTIONS (Possible problems and what to do)

The following may occur:

  • Eyes stinging, burning, or itching
  • Reduced sharpness of vision (visual acuity)
  • Excessive watering (tearing) of the eyes
  • Blurred vision
  • Unusual eye secretions
  • Sensitivity to light (photophobia)
  • Redness of the eyes
  • Dry eyes

If you notice any of the above, IMMEDIATELY remove and examine your lenses.

If a lens appears to be damaged, do not reapply; consult your eye care practitioner. If the problem stops and the lenses appear to be undamaged, follow the “Directions” below, before reapplying the lens.

If the problem continues, IMMEDIATELY remove your lenses, discontinue use of all lens care products that contact the eye, and consult your eye care practitioner.

If any of the above occur, a serious condition such as infection, corneal ulcer, neovascularization, or iritis may be present. Seek immediate professional identification of the problem and obtain treatment, if necessary, to avoid serious eye damage.

DIRECTIONS

To lubricate and rewet your lenses and to help prevent and remove protein build-up, apply one or two drops to each eye, then blink several times. Use up to four times per day.

If you require more frequent in-the-eye use of COMPLETE® Blink-N-Clean® Lens Drops to maintain comfortable lens wear, this may signify a condition that should be evaluated by your eye care practitioner.

GOOD LENS CARE PRACTICES

  • Always wash, rinse and dry your hands before you handle your lenses.
  • Clean, rinse and disinfect your lenses each time you remove them.
  • Always handle the same lens, the right or the left, first in order to avoid mix-ups.
  • Do not store or rinse lenses in any non-sterile water, including tap water.
  • Do not swim, shower or use a hot tub while wearing soft contact lenses.
  • Do not use saliva or put lenses in mouth to rewet.
  • Do not wear lenses longer than prescribed.
  • Discard any soft lens that is damaged or dehydrated.
  • Avoid using aerosols when wearing contact lenses.
  • Discard any remaining solution in your contact lens case before disinfecting your lenses again. Rinse your lens case with fresh solution and allow the lens case to air dry.
