Some basic tips that always should be followed are:
- Wash your hands thoroughly before handling your lenses
- Clean your contact lenses carefully before putting them in their lens cleaning case
- Never use the lens cleaning case more then three months at the time and clean the case after every use
- Never use any other type of liquid then the lens solution your optometrist have recommended
- Never use contact lens when swimming
- Never change the type of contact lens without consulting with your optician before. For example switching from monthly disposables lenses to daily disposables.
Even though the quality of contact lenses always are improving, persons using one day disposable lenses are less likely to get an eye infection as a result of bad handling of the lenses.
Another thing to reflect over is that most contact lens wearers usually change their contacts in the bathroom even though this is the place where bacteria’s will most likely thrive.

Don't forget to choose a contact lens that contain (at least) 50% water in its composition..
why? Because the avascular cornea must obtain oxygen from the atmosphere.
Without oxygen from the air, corneal swelling will occur with resultant corneal clouding, decreased visual acuity, discomfort, and other long-term adverse effects.
And with (at least) 50% water, it can holds to 3 hours until you have to use the eyedrops to lubricate and rewet your lenses.
