In what situations can you not wear contact lenses

People who have worn contact lenses tend to feel that their eyes are often sore and uncomfortable. Therefore, they don’t know when they should not wear contact lenses, and how they should be worn to benefit their eye health? It is normal to feel a little uncomfortable when trying contact lenses for the first time. The following situations are not suitable for wearing contact lenses:

1. Take off your contact lenses if you have a cold or fever

Because the local resistance of the eyes is reduced and tear secretion is reduced at this time, non-pathogenic bacteria in the eyes, such as Bacillus subtilis, will multiply in large numbers in the cornea and lenses. Their metabolites will block the micropores of the contact lenses, causing the cornea to be hypoxic due to respiratory disorders, tissue cell metabolism is disturbed, disease resistance is weakened, and it is easy for external pathogenic microorganisms to take advantage of the situation and cause bacterial corneal ulcers.

2. People who play computer games should not wear contact lenses

Experiments have shown that all contact lenses will gradually decompose and deteriorate under computer radiation, causing the molecules of the original material to mutate. Some of these decomposed small molecules will reach the lens through the lymphatic circulation, combine with the repair tissue of the lens, and form new polymers.

3. Do not wear contact lenses in dusty weather

During sandstorms, patients with chronic bronchitis, the elderly and children should try not to go out; if sand and dust get into your eyes, do not rub them with your hands, but close your eyes quickly and gently squeeze your eyes with your eyelids to stimulate tears to flow out and take out the foreign matter. Citizens are advised to drink more water, eat more fruits, speed up the excretion of various metabolic wastes in the body, wear masks as much as possible when traveling, and myopic people should be especially careful not to wear contact lenses.

4. Don’t wear contact lenses overnight

If you want to wear contact lenses overnight, you must choose silicone hydrogel contact lenses with an oxygen permeability of more than 125. Hydrogel lenses should never be worn overnight.

Therefore, wearing contact lenses is for beauty, but if you do not pay attention to the cleaning of the lenses, it will harm your eyes. It is recommended not to wear contact lenses when playing computer games or sleeping with them. It is recommended to clean contact lenses frequently and use them alternately with ordinary glasses to avoid excessive eye strain. Protect your eyes, because eyes are the windows to the soul.
