What are the dangers of wearing contact lenses frequently

Many people like to wear contact lenses, thinking that contact lenses look more beautiful and fashionable. However, wearing contact lenses for a long time can also be harmful. Therefore, people who wear contact lenses frequently should also pay attention to avoid causing harm to their eyes. The following content introduces the dangers of wearing contact lenses frequently. You can have a comprehensive understanding.

What may happen if you wear contact lenses for a long time:

1. Decreased eye resistance

2. Wearing contact lenses for a long time can easily cause visual fatigue and even dry eyes.

3. Cause optic nerve paralysis. If contact lenses are attached to the eyeball for a long time, it will paralyze the nerve endings and lead to decreased corneal perception.

Therefore, contact lenses have a strict medical fitting process. They must be correctly fitted in professional medical institutions and cannot be purchased arbitrarily based on refractive power alone. This is to minimize various eye complications caused by improper wearing. If the wearer has obvious astigmatism, he or she must choose specially designed contact lenses that can accurately correct astigmatism, rather than ignoring astigmatism and simply solving it by increasing the degree of myopia.

If the wearer of glasses often experiences dry eyes, they should choose lenses with lower water content and not too thin. If you need to wear contact lenses for a long time, even overnight, you should choose contact lenses with ultra-high oxygen permeability that can be used continuously overnight to avoid various complications caused by corneal hypoxia.

In addition, according to strict medical procedures, all wearers should undergo regular checkups. Usually, they should return to the optician for a checkup one week, three months, six months, and one year after the first wearing of the glasses. The optometrist needs to understand the wearer's lens condition and eye reaction to determine whether the lenses they wear are suitable and whether they are suitable for wearing contact lenses.

Wearing contact lenses frequently is harmful and everyone should pay attention to it. If you are not suitable for wearing contact lenses and wear them for a long time, it will cause your eyes' resistance to decrease and even cause infection, posing a threat to your eye health. Therefore, people who often wear contact lenses, in order to protect their health, it is best to choose other ways of wearing glasses.
