Can people who wear contact lenses take a hot spring bath?

People with myopia who don't want to wear framed glasses will choose contact lenses, but the eyes are the most fragile and delicate part of the body, and contact lenses need to be removed in some situations. For example, when taking a hot spring bath, it is best to avoid wearing contact lenses, because they contain water, which will evaporate under the high temperature of the hot spring and become dehydrated. Dehydration will cause the contact lenses to stick to the eyes and be difficult to remove. Also, take off your contact lenses when swimming or bathing. It is best not to wear it during women’s menstrual period when their immunity is reduced.

Just as it is not recommended that you wear contact lenses when taking a bath, it is also best to avoid wearing contact lenses when taking a hot spring bath, swimming, or even doing a SPA. The reason is simple. Contact lenses contain moisture, and under the high temperature of hot springs or steam baths, it is easy for the lenses to become dehydrated and stick to the eyes, making them difficult to remove.

Doctors generally recommend removing contact lenses before swimming. The water quality in swimming pools is difficult to guarantee and contains chlorine and other chemicals. Contact lenses will absorb these bad substances, thereby irritating the cornea and causing symptoms such as redness, discomfort, and photophobia of the eyes.

Contact lenses are in direct contact with our eyeballs, so we must be cautious in choosing them. Fake and inferior products can damage our eyes. Try to choose a more famous brand to ensure safety. The wearing time of contact lenses should not exceed 8 hours a day, and it is best to take them off when sleeping. Don't wear contact lenses every day. It's best to wear them alternately with frame glasses to minimize damage to your eyes.
