Q: I have two PROSE devices. How can I distinguish between the left and the right device?
For patients with PROSE devices for both eyes, the RIGHT device is marked with ONE black
dot. The left device will have either NO dots or TWO black dots. The device should be ap-
plied with the dot(s) oriented at the 12 o'clock position, unless instructed otherwise by your
doctor.
Q: Can I sleep or nap in my PROSE device(s)?
You can nap for a maximum of 30 minutes. DO NOT sleep with your PROSE devices, as this
can greatly increase the risk of an eye infection.
Q: What should I do with my PROSE device(s) if I remove them for a short period of
time to shower, swim, or nap?
Devices should be placed in a screw top contact lens case with either Unique pH or Boston
Simplus. Before re-applying, the PROSE device(s) should be cleaned with your daily cleaner
and rinsed well with preservative-free saline. The case should then be emptied, wiped out with
an alcohol prep pad, and allowed to air dry.
Q: Can I swim or shower while wearing the PROSE device(s)?
No, you cannot swim or shower while wearing PROSE devices. Exposure to impure and non-
sterile water (tap, lake, pool, etc) while wearing your PROSE device increases your risk of a
sight-threatening infection. For any further specific questions regarding this, please speak to your
PROSE doctor.
