Contact lenses and your eyes’ health
When choosing the means of vision correction – contact lenses or glasses – of cource contact lenses are more convenient. For example, using contact lenses you can wear sunglasses on a sunny day (this is especially handy if you’re driving the car). The frame when wearing corrective glasses is constantly in the field of view than its limit, while the contact lenses do not interfere with the eye to see. That’s why I chose contact lenses.
The main thing in contact lenses wearing is the right care. You must strictly comply with all recommendations of ophthalmologist and rules for the use of lenses and care for container storage. Disregarding these rules may lead to serious eye damage and the development of different eye diseases. But do not hurry to abandon such a convenient invention of mankind! Terms of care are quite simple and it only takes 5-15 minutes of your time each day.
The most important condition is cleanliness. It is the guarantee of your health. First of all, you should always wash your hands before you putting on or taking off your contacts. Secondly, do not use oily cosmetics, soap, cream, lotions, before touching the lenses.
Attention, beautiful ladies! Lenses should be put on before applying make-up and you should take contacts off before you are going to remove makeup. And always close your eyes before using hair spray or other aerosols.
Try not to sunbathe while wearing lenses and do not smoke.If you do sports (especially aquatic species), consult with an ophthalmologist. I always take off my lenses before visiting the solarium, pool, sauna. But if you are in the gym, the lenses are simply irreplaceable.
You must use a special solution for contact lenses. It is very close in composition to tears of an adult, so the solution doesn’t harm to your eyes. Do not use tap water to wash your contacts! This water contains many impurities that may contaminate the lens and cause inflammation to your eyes. And never leave your lenses for a long time without a solution, because they dry out and become brittle. Such lenses are no longer suitable and they should be discarded and replaced with new ones.
The solution should be changed after each use. And if you leave the lens for a long time in the solution, you need to change it at least once every five days. And never mix different solutions together, because their chemical composition may vary and there can be possible side effects. If you want to use the new solution, you should wash the container with boiled water and allow it to dry properly.
Talking about the terms of the lenses, you should know that there are daily-wear lenses, monthly, three-month and lenses of long-term use (6-12 months). The less time the use of lenses, thinner they are and therefore more comfortable for the eyes. Do not use lenses longer than it is recommended. And it is not recommended to wear lenses for a long time without taking off. It is better if you put them in the morning and take in the evening, not longer. While some lenses you can afford to carry many days (so-called “breathable” contact lenses).
And the lens is very good that there are colored and enhancement cosmetic contact lenses. This allows you to change the shade or eye color. If you correctly pick the color (some salons have samples lenses, which can be examples), we can achieve extraordinary effects! Change your style with colored contact lenses, you’ll love it! It’s really very beautiful.
But, of course, to choose the contact lenses right, you must consult with an ophthalmologist. Now any self-respecting salon-optics offers the service of a doctor. Take care of your health!
