Avoid the dangers of using contact lenses

Contact lenses are an accessory that makes your eyes more soulful and attractive.

However, if you do not have the skills and principles when using contact lenses, it will easily cause unfortunate consequences for your eyes. Pocket the following knowledge to use contact lenses for healthier and more beautiful eyes!

Hand washing

Contact lenses are inserted into the eye, so if you do not wash your hands before putting in contact lenses, it will increase the risk of infection, causing eye inflammation. Therefore, before putting in contact lenses, you should clean your hands with antibacterial soap and cold water.

Contact lens hygiene

You should regularly clean your contact lenses every day to reduce the risk of infection and avoid problems related to your eyesight.

This is an important principle when using contact lenses: you should absolutely not sleep with your contact lenses on. Scientific evidence shows that 85% of the oxygen in the eyes is provided through the exchange process in the cornea. But when wearing contact lenses, the oxygen exchange process is limited, leading to dry eyes due to lack of oxygen. If the eyes are severely deprived of oxygen, it can lead to corneal ulcers and a high rate of blindness.

Makeup after wearing contact lenses

Only put on contact lenses before applying makeup to ensure that the cream and powder makeup do not fade and to limit the risk of tears.

In addition, when applying makeup, you should not line the inner rim of your eyes. According to the opinion of famous ophthalmologist Susan Resnick (American Medical Association), lining the inner rim of your eyes for people wearing contact lenses can hinder the production of tear glands, causing dry eyes, blurred vision, and even increasing the risk of eye infections.

In case you want to color your eyes, you should not use eyeshadow but use cream, because cream will not contain powder dust, will not damage your eyes or increase the risk of eye infection.

Finally, when applying mascara to curl your eyelashes, you should not choose eyelash extension mascara because the nylon and wax in it will damage your glasses. You should also remember to absolutely not apply mascara close to the base of your eyelashes.

Replace contact lenses regularly

Ophthalmologists recommend that you replace your contact lenses every 2-4 weeks or at most 6 weeks to avoid the risk of eye infection. It is a mistake to stick with one pair of contact lenses for several months. This will be the source of dozens of dangers that threaten the safety of your eyes.

The "don'ts" of using glasses

Contact lenses are very dangerous for young children. Eye experts recommend that children should be at least 10-13 years old before using contact lenses to avoid eye damage later in life.

Do not arbitrarily place contact lenses anywhere you want, but should put them in a specialized lens case to avoid germs and risk of infection.

Do not use any cleaning solution to clean contact lenses because it will not be able to kill bacteria completely and can easily promote harmful pathogens to the eyes.
