Understand the misconceptions of wearing contact lenses to help you take care of your eyes

Contact lenses and invisible lenses have become fashionable weapons, and most beauty lovers will wear them, which can not only make their eyes bright, but also maintain an elegant appearance. In daily life, we will find that there is very little understanding of contact lenses, which are commonplace and intimate with people. Let's briefly talk about some misunderstandings about wearing contact lenses. 1. Is the thinner contact lens better? Contact lenses aren't always better. Thin contact lenses are highly permeable to oxygen and comfortable, but lenses are prone to drying, dehydration, corneal dryness, corneal staining, and breakage. 2. Will wearing contact lenses add depth? The individual's own eye habits and refractive error are more important considerations, and those who have stabilized their own prescription will not add depth to wearing contact lenses. 3. Can I swim with contact lenses? You can't swim while wearing contact lenses, unless you're wearing an eye patch, as the microbes in the pool can contaminate the lenses and the water can wash them away. 4. Can I wear contact lenses and remove makeup in any order? Although you can wear makeup after wearing contact lenses, you still have to pay attention to the order of wearing glasses and makeup, it is best to wear glasses first, then makeup, take the lens first, and then remove makeup. 5. Can a pair of contact lenses last a lifetime? A pair of contact lenses should never be worn permanently. The material of the soft lens has an adsorption effect, and the dust in the air and the protein in the tears are adsorbed on the surface of the lens over time, so the soft lens needs to be regularly cared for and cleaned, and generally speaking, the longest wearing period of the traditional soft lens is not more than 1 year. 6. Can I sleep with contact lenses? The wearing time depends on the type of lens chosen by the consumer. If the lens is made of ordinary hydrogel material, it can be worn for 8 hours a day, up to 12 hours, and cannot be worn during the afternoon nap or overnight; If the silicone hydrogel lens has an oxygen permeability of 87 or more, it can be worn for a long time or continuously. When wearing contact lenses for the first time, do not exceed 4 hours on the first day, 6 hours on the second day, 8 hours on the third day, and 10 hours on the fourth day.
