How should the left lens be cared for relative to the right lens?

• A. Give the left lens different care than the right
• B. Give the left lens the same care as the right
• C. Do not clean the left lens
• D. Invert care with lens orientation

Answer: (B)

The main idea is that both gas permeable lenses should undergo the same cleaning and disinfection routine. Since both lenses come from the same care process and are worn by the same person, using identical steps helps ensure both lenses stay clean, safe, and free from contaminants. Typical care includes washing hands, rubbing and rinsing each lens with an approved GP cleaner, rinsing, disinfecting in fresh solution, storing in a clean case with fresh solution, and avoiding tap water or saliva. The goal is consistency and hygiene for both lenses, not eye-specific differences. It would be unsafe to treat one lens differently, skip cleaning one lens, or rely on strange practices like changing care based on lens orientation.
