Second “Usage” section

[edit]

What is going on with the second “Usage” section in this article? It simply is a list of three external links with short descriptions. This seems like a mistake and may be a failed attempt to add citations to the first “Usage” section of this article, which actually has text content. Can somebody knowledgeable about the situation fix this? Thank you! — Nicolás Macri (talk) 07:47, 27 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Usage

[edit]

Drying of hands using towels or tissues before handling contact lenses can transfer lint (fluff) to the hands and, subsequently, to the lenses, causing irritation upon insertion. Towels, unless freshly laundered on high temperature wash, are frequently contaminated with large quantities of bacteria and, as such, should be avoided when handling lenses.

So one should leave one's hands unwiped in the air until they dry by themselves? What if one's skin is already so dry that this process will make one shed flakes onto the lens? Is there no workaround? 195.187.108.130 (talk) 16:35, 14 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Bifocal and multifocal contact lenses

[edit]

Needs a new section with a lot more on the options and how they work. 209.93.202.35 (talk) 10:53, 3 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
