Answers:

You need to clean them everytime you take them out of your eyes. Hopefully, your doctor gave you some Multipurpose solution like Opti-Free or ReNu. When you take then lens off your eye place it in the palm of your hand and put a few drops of solution on the lens. Then gently rub each side with your index finger for a few seconds. Then rinse it off with more solution and place it into your contact lens case. Make sure the lens is completely covered with solution before closing the cap. The lenses should soak for at least four hours before using again.

When you put the lenses on again, you don't have to rub them but you can rinse them a little with more solution. Once you put them on your eyes you need to dump out the solution in the case. Don't ever re-use the solution. The case can be rinsed out with fresh solution and allowed to air dry. You should replace the case about every three months.

Make sure you wash your hand before handling the lenses.
