Eye care tips —— Use contact lens eye drops correctly


Wearing contact lenses not only sharpens your vision but also significantly boosts your appearance. However, many people find that after enjoying the comfort for just a few days, their eyes become dry and they constantly feel like there's something stuck in them. To reverse the effects of' desert eyes' and restore your natural look, you need specialized eye drops designed for contact lenses!
The seemingly thin contact lenses are actually quite intricate. In terms of material, hydrogels and silicone hydrogels have significantly different oxygen permeability. High-water-content contact lenses require more moisture, and prolonged wear can lead to the lens absorbing moisture from the eye's surface to maintain its own humidity, leaving the eye dry and uncomfortable. Moreover, bacteria, oils, dust, proteins, and other contaminants adhering to the lens can continuously rub against the cornea as the lens rotates, causing a significant increase in redness. The small lens can quickly turn into a bacterial culture dish, making it highly susceptible to infection.
When your eyes become overly dry, specialized eye moisturizers can be very helpful. The market offers a wide variety of eye moisturizers, including those for hydration, anti-inflammatory, and fatigue relief. However, the key is to hydrate and protect the eyes, so it's important to choose carefully. If an eye moisturizer contains a high amount of preservatives, frequent use over time can damage the eye surface cells, disrupt tear secretion, and even make the eyes drier. Therefore, we recommend choosing eye moisturizers that do not contain preservatives, although this will significantly shorten their shelf life. It's best to opt for small, individually packaged units to prevent bacterial growth.
However, it should be noted that although eye lubricants are good to use, they should not be abused. No more than 5 times a day, 1-2 drops each time is enough to avoid dependence and damage the stability of the tear film. The correct use of contact lens eye lubricants is also required to enjoy clear vision while ensuring comfort and safety.
