## Messages to send Mindie
- Two-weekly lenses: "Every 2 weeks on Sunday at 9pm remind me to put in a new pair of contact lenses"
- Replace the case: "Every 3 months starting 1 December remind me to replace my lens case"
- Before the last box runs out: "Remind me before my last box of lenses runs out on 15 December to reorder"

A contact lens change reminder on WhatsApp is a message on the day your lenses are due to be swapped, so a two-week pair doesn't quietly become a five-week pair. With Mindie, send "every 2 weeks on Sunday at 9pm remind me to put in a new pair of contact lenses" and it repeats on that schedule.

Lenses feel fine for a while after they're due, which is exactly why they get worn too long. Without a fixed day, it's hard to remember when you last opened a fresh pair.

## When to be reminded

- **On swap day,** at a time you're at home by the sink.
- **Every few months,** to replace the lens case.
- **Before the last box is opened,** to reorder in time.

## Why lenses get worn too long

- **They still feel okay,** so there's no prompt to change them.
- **The start date is forgotten.** Was it last Sunday or the one before?
- **The spare box runs out,** and old lenses go back in.

## Habits that help

- **Change on the same day of the week,** like Sunday night.
- **Keep the next box visible,** so you see when supply is low.
- **Book your eye exam on time,** since you can't reorder without a current prescription. See [eye exam reminders](/reminders/eye-exam).

## How Mindie handles it

Set the swap as a repeating reminder: every 2 weeks, every month, or on the schedule your optician gave you. Add a heads-up before the last box runs out. Reply done once you've changed them.

## What Mindie doesn't do

- **It isn't eye care advice.** Follow your optician's instructions on wear and replacement.
- **It doesn't order lenses** or connect to shops.
- **Reminders come only to your own chat.**

## FAQ

### I wear monthly lenses. How do I set that?
Say "every month on the 1st at 9pm remind me to change my contact lenses" and Mindie repeats it monthly.

### How often should I replace my lens case?
Follow your optician's advice or the lens maker's instructions. Mindie repeats whatever interval they give you.

### Can Mindie reorder lenses for me?
No. Mindie doesn't order or connect to shops. It reminds you to reorder in time.

### Can I set different reminders for each eye?
Yes, if your lenses run on different schedules. Name each one in its own message, and each gets its own reminder.

### Can I add an eye exam reminder too?
Yes. Set a separate yearly one, or whatever gap your optician recommends, so your prescription stays current.
