3.6.10 How long does it take to adapt to new lenses ?

Soft lenses are generally worn for 2-4hrs on the first day and the wearing
time is increased by about 2hrs per day, up until 8hrs of daily wear is
achieved. The rate at which the wearing time is increased and the maximum
number of hours that the lenses can be worn will depend on the recommendations
of your eyecare practitioner.

Rigid lenses are generally worn for 2-4hrs on the first day with an increase
of 1-2hrs each day until 8 hours of daily wear is obtained. Again the rate
at which the wearing time is increased and maximum number of hours of
wearing time will depend on the person and the recommendations of your
eyecare practitioner.
