The lenses are moving on my cornea, what can i do?
Please ensure that the lenses are not inside-out, as this is one of the most common causes of movement on the eye. If the lenses are inverted, simply flip them inside-out and give them a good wash before reapplying.
The lenses seem too big or too small for me, what could be the cause?
There are two possibilities why the lenses seem too big or too small.
Firstly, the lenses may have become inverted and are not sitting correctly on your eye. This can be resolved by flipping them inside-out and giving them a good wash before reapplying.
Another possibility is that the parameters of the Desio lenses are not suitable for your eyes and you require a different diameter and or base curve.
Unfortunately, we cannot replace the lens or issue a refund if the parameters you have ordered are not suitable for your eyes (as per our terms and conditions).I would like to exchange my lenses because i wanted to order a different color or correction, how can i do this?

If the lenses box has been opened, the product cannot be exchanged or refunded.

I am experiencing discomfort while wearing the lenses, what can i do?
Please ensure that you have washed the lens properly and check that they are not inside-out, as these are the most common causes of discomfort. If the lenses are inverted, simply flip them inside-out and give them a good wash before reapplying. You can use any kind of all-in-one solution with your lenses.
