As a contact lens wearer, good hygiene is important in keeping your eyes comfortable while you’re wearing your lenses. Fortunately, there are a number of great contact lens hygiene and lid care products available, all designed to make sure wearing lenses is always a pleasant experience.
Vision Direct stocks a range of eyelid hygiene and lid care products to support eye health for contact lens wearers and those with blepharitis or meibomian gland dysfunction. The range includes Blephaclean sterile eyelid wipes from Thea Pharmaceuticals, which use a micellar formula to gently cleanse the lid margin; Blephasol, a perfume-and soap-free lid hygiene lotion; and Blephagel, a preservative-free, hypoallergenic cleansing gel. These products remove the oils, debris, and bacteria that accumulate along the lash line and can transfer to contact lenses or disrupt the tear film.
Opticians generally recommend daily eyelid cleaning for contact lens wearers, particularly those prone to blepharitis, meibomian gland dysfunction, or dry eye. A daily lid hygiene routine using Blephaclean wipes helps prevent the build-up of deposits along the lash line that can transfer to contact lenses, causing discomfort, reduced wearing time, or infection. Even for wearers without specific lid conditions, a nightly lid cleanse as part of your lens removal routine is a good hygiene habit that supports long-term eye health and more comfortable contact lens wear.
Yes. Regular lid hygiene can measurably reduce dry eye symptoms linked to meibomian gland dysfunction (MGD), a condition where the glands along the eyelid margins that produce the oily tear film layer become blocked or inflamed. Using lid wipes like Blephaclean regularly helps to keep these glands clear and functioning, stabilising the tear film and reducing evaporative dry eye. For wearers who experience dryness or a gritty sensation during contact lens wear, adding a daily lid hygiene step to their routine can make a noticeable difference to comfort over time.
