available than the one provided?

Q: I have two PROSE devices. How can I distinguish between the left and the right device?
For patients with prosthetic 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. When either PROSE
device has one or two black dots, the device should be applied 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?
Any plasma-treated PROSE device should be stored in a dry white screw top contact lens
case. Hydra-PEG PROSE device(s) should be stored soaking in Unique pH, Boston Simplus,
or Tangible Clean in a white screw top contact lens case. Before re-applying, the PROSE
device(s) should be cleaned with your daily cleaner and rinsed well with preservative-free
saline, prescribed for you. 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.
