What should I do if my cosmetic contact lenses are uncomfortable to wear

Since they were launched on the market, colored contact lenses have been loved by the majority of beauty-loving women. However, sometimes wearing them can be uncomfortable, such as blurred vision, lens slippage, dry eyes, etc. Everyone is very concerned about these situations. Is it serious or not? Will it affect my eyesight? After all, eyes are very important to us. Below, the editor will show you the reasons why wearing colored contact lenses makes you uncomfortable

1. Wearing the lenses upside down

Take off the lens, recheck the front and back, and then wear it. (How to distinguish the front and back of contact lenses?)

2. There is dirt on the lens

Remove the lenses, rinse and clean them before wearing them again.

3. Inappropriate degree

The degree of cosmetic contact lenses needs to be converted. Use your own eye test degree and then look for the appropriate contact lens degree in the corresponding conversion table. If the degree is not suitable, discomfort may occur.

4. The base arc is not suitable

A base curve that is too large or too small will cause discomfort to the eyes, so you should use your own accurate base curve as the standard.

5. The lens material is not suitable

Everyone's eye conditions are different, and the lens materials that suit them are also different. If you feel uncomfortable wearing the same brand of lenses, you can try changing to another brand.

6. Water content is too high

Some people have dry eyes and are not suitable for wearing lenses with too high water content, so you must look at the parameters carefully when choosing lenses.

7. Eyes will become red after wearing colored lenses

Red eyes are caused by congestion of the conjunctiva inside the eye, not corneal bleeding. First, we need to understand why the eyes turn red. You may have been wearing transparent lenses before and are used to the high oxygen permeability of transparent lenses. Colored lenses are definitely not as breathable as transparent lenses due to the presence of pigments, so red eyes will occur whether you are used to wearing them or wearing them for the first time. If it is normal within 1 to 4 days, you must stop wearing them if you exceed 7 days, otherwise the cornea will be deprived of oxygen and new blood vessels will grow. This has nothing to do with the lenses. Some people wear transparent lenses for a long time, such as staying up late or wearing glasses overnight, which will cause this kind of problem, so remember not to wear them overnight.

Solution: Red eyes are caused by congestion of the conjunctiva inside the eye, not corneal bleeding. First, you need to understand why the eyes are red. You may have been wearing transparent lenses before and got used to the high oxygen permeability of transparent lenses. Colored lenses are definitely not as breathable as transparent lenses due to the presence of pigments, so red eyes will occur whether you are used to wearing them or wearing them for the first time.

The above are all minor discomforts that can generally be resolved. However, if more serious symptoms such as stinging or burning occur while wearing the lenses, it is recommended to remove the lenses immediately. If the situation is more serious, you need to go to the hospital for examination. In addition, Heya Glasses Network reminds everyone that not everyone is suitable for wearing this kind of cosmetic contact lenses, so before choosing glasses, you need to go to the hospital to check the health of your eyes.
