That people with dry eyes need to know before buying contact lenses.

 ‘Contact lenses’ have become a very popular item these days because in addition to helping to enhance your look, they are also a helper for those with vision problems. However, wearing contact lenses for more than 8 hours a day can cause dry eye problems. The cause is that contact lenses are so dry that they draw water from the eyes, causing irritation แทงบอล UFABET ราคาดีที่สุด ไม่มีขั้นต่ำand discomfort. Today, Vogue Beauty would like to take everyone to check out a list of 5 things that people with dry eyes need to know before buying contact lenses.

Choose the water content that is appropriate for your application.

     Contact lenses with high water content will make the lenses soft, comfortable to wear, and not irritate the eyes. However, at the same time, it may shorten the usage period because when the water content is high, it will also absorb a lot of water and moisture from our eyes. Therefore, it is suitable for short-term use. As for contact lenses with low water content, the lenses may not be as soft as contact lenses with high water content, but they can be used in the long term without causing dry eyes or irritation. Therefore, it is suitable for those who need to wear contact lenses for a long time. 

Choose a lens material with high oxygen permeability.

     In addition to water content, another factor that people with dry eyes should take into account is ‘oxygen permeability’. The lens material with high oxygen permeability, such as ‘Silicone Hydrogel’, is designed to increase the flow of oxygen to the eyes, reducing the risk of corneal oxygen deficiency. And the amount of oxygen transmitted to the cornea well will make the wearer feel comfortable and not irritated while wearing contact lenses.

Choose contact lenses with soft, comfortable lenses.

     I believe that many people have experienced wearing contact lenses and felt irritated and stinging eyes. This problem may be caused by hard lenses, which in addition to causing irritation may also cause corneal abrasions. For this reason, you should choose contact lenses that are soft, highly flexible, do not hurt your eyes, and are comfortable to wear as if you are not wearing them. 

Use contact lens solution that helps keep the lenses moist.

     Another thing that many people often overlook is choosing contact lens solution. Currently, there are many formulas to choose from. But what people with dry eyes should look for is contact lens solution that reduces dry eye symptoms, with a pH value close to that which irritates the eyes. This not only helps kill germs and clean the lenses, but also helps maintain moisture for the lenses.  

Relieve dry eyes with artificial tears

     ‘Artificial tears’ are substances with properties similar to natural human tears. They help moisturize or lubricate the eyes and relieve dry eye symptoms when wearing contact lenses. There are 2 types to choose from: daily artificial tears, suitable for those with severe dry eye symptoms. Monthly artificial tears for those with mild symptoms. It is recommended to remove the contact lenses. Before instilling the artificial tears and then insert the contact lenses. After instilling the artificial tears for about 10 minutes.
