"Hi! My name is Elton Hall and I'm here at Texas State Optical in Austin, Texas. I'm here on behalf of Expert Village, and I'm going to show you how to care for your contact lenses. I'm going to give you some safety tips on how to care for your contact lenses. First of all, just make sure that you always wash your hands. Keep your hands clean. Make sure that you do not put the contact lens if you have any tears, rips, or anything in the contact lens. If you're having problems with your eyes being irritated, make sure that you talk to your doctor. Also, keep your nails trimmed. The best soap to use is a non-antibacterial soap that you can use. I believe some of the Softsoaps should be okay for that. Actually, just look on the back of the bottle or on the front. It'll say antibacterial or non-antibacterial."
