Colored Contacts During GLP-1: Get the Fit Checked

Considering colored contacts as part of your beauty routine?

Bring the intended look

FDA says the prescription includes the brand, lens measurements and expiration date. Redness, persistent eye pain or decreased vision needs an eye doctor right away. [1]

Plan care before wearing them

CDC advises against sharing lenses or storing them in water. Clean them with contact lens disinfecting solution, never water or saliva. Do not add fresh solution to used solution. Replace lenses on your eye doctor’s schedule and the case at least every three months. [2]

Occasional wear still needs upkeep

For infrequently worn contacts, CDC specifies disinfecting and storing them in fresh solution at least every seven days. Ask your eye doctor how these instructions apply to the prescribed lens type. [2]

Write an appointment note

Save a photo of the color you are considering. Add three blank lines for the appointment: prescribed product, care supplies and replacement dates. Keep the completed note beside the purchase receipt so the look you requested and the product supplied can be checked together.
