I’ll put basic stuff in here, which should be obvious but from talking with ophthalmologists, often doesn’t happen:

- visit an eye doctor on whatever schedule they recommend (usually every other year) and immediately if your vision changes.

“Immediately” is not “I’ll call/go if it’s still a happening in 2-3 days” like it might be for, say, going to the doctor with fever. Don’t wait.

- When I’m wearing contacts, I usually take them out and re-wet them (not just eye drops) in the middle of the day.

- Obvious but statstically, someone reading this probably does it: don’t ever reuse contact solution.

Don't reuse contact solution? Uh-oh, I do this. It stays in the case for 2-3 days typically. Apparently I should stop...
If some nasty microbes get under your contact you're going to have a bad time
