Spending more time outside during the summer months can sometimes be difficult for contact lens wearers.
Increased temperature, frequent use of air conditioners, exposure to the sun, air and sand are usually the main causes that the eyes at the end of the day are red, irritated and tired. The reason is that tears evaporate faster and consequently the eyes are not sufficiently lubricated. To deal with this unpleasant and annoying dry eyes, just some simple and easy tips are enough:
Wearing sunglasses in the summer sounds obvious. However, you'd be surprised how many people walk around, even in the summer, without any sunglasses at all. In addition to making the eyes feel relaxed and comfortable, sunglasses protect the eyes from harmful ultraviolet rays.
For contact lens wearers, a not so obvious reason to wear sunglasses while wearing their contact lenses is that sunglasses provide protection from the wind. Contact lenses need adequate lubrication to function properly and sunglasses provide protection on windy days, which is one of the main causes of dry eyes.
Be sure to instill artificial tears disposable at regular intervals. They contain Sodium Hyaluronate, which is considered as the best moisturizer and chamomile which with its beneficial properties acts as a soothing agent. Contact lens wearers are advised to instill the artificial tears, over their lenses.
The instillation of artificial tears will keep your lenses hydrated, keep your eyes comfortable, help you maintain clear vision.
With exposure to sun and wind, contact lenses are more likely to cause irritation and redness instead of providing clear, comfortable vision. If you experience a sandy, gritty sensation more than twice a day, ask your eye doctor if you can try daily contact lenses disposable.
Sometimes when people are asked if they wear glasses occasionally instead of their contact lenses, they consider it almost an insult. However, if you wear contact lenses every day, it's nice to give your eyes a break one day a week, since contact lenses over time can change the way your eye cells work.
After a whole day out of the house in the summer, don't make the mistake sleep with your contact lenses on. Sleeping with contact lenses increases the risk of infection, sometimes severe infection, by six to eight times. This risk of infection can increase significantly after spending all day in the wind or on a sandy beach.
It is best to avoid the very chlorinated swimming pools and to swim under water as it may present the bacterium acanthamoeba, which is known to cause vision complications.
Although this type of infection is very rare, it almost always occurs in a person with a history of water exposure while wearing contact lenses and usually this person overuses contact lenses.
The Showers and the hot tub should also be avoided. If you don't want to take them off, then use beach glasses.
In conclusion you should use at regular intervals of the day artificial tears by Sodium Hyaluronate and chamomile, do correct use of contact lenses, observe the hygiene rules and change the contact lens solution frequently. For short trips you prefer contact lens liquids at monostructural ampoules. If you have severe symptoms , contact the ophthalmologist Your.
