Some useful tips.
Only a competent and narrow-profile ophthalmologist (contactologist) can correctly select and adjust contact lenses. Do not make decisions on your own and do not entrust your vision to a person who does not have a medical education.
Be sure to consider the following:
- Do not sleep with lenses;
- Contamination of the lens container is not allowed;
- Avoid rubbing your eyes as much as possible, because in the case of contact lenses, during friction, the risk of corneal damage increases significantly;
- Do not touch the lenses and eyes with dirty hands. In order to reduce the risk of infection, it is necessary to wash and dry your hands well with soap before inserting the lens;
- Do not take a shower or swim in water (swimming pool, sea, lake, etc.) with contact lenses;
- If your eyes are irritated or complain of itching, it is recommended to remove contact lenses;
- Lenses should be cleaned regularly;
- The doctor will indicate how long you can use it - if you exceed the time, the risk of swelling and irritation will increase significantly, and your eyes will get tired;
- Your eyes are more damaged when you don't change your contact lens at regular intervals, you have to replace the old one with a new one.
