Each of these situations will be kind happened to anyone who bring contact lenses. This is why we decided to establish a ranking of 12 things to do not do absolutely with contact lenses.
1. Use contact lenses without having washed your hands first. In doing so we transfer the millions of bacteria on our hands, directly on contact lenses. So we have to wash our hands to put them but do not forget that the same applies also to remove them.
2. Leave the solution in the case. The liquid that we use to store the contact lenses, as a disinfectant, is very effective until it leaves only for a few days at a time. I's useful to remember that, the bacteria can overwhelm the disinfectant solution. Reuse the same solution for several times it may cause the proliferation of the bacteria the effectiveness of the solution render useless.
3. Do not dry the contact lense's case. Remember that bacteria love moisture, so when we wash the case is critical dry thoroughly, before storing again contact lenses.
4. Do not clean your contact lenses every day. The bacteria, debris and proteins accumulate on contact lenses, and those deposits can cause immune reactions such as giant papillary conjunctivitis. After that, it could end up being totally intolerant to contact lenses. So do not let this happen! We have to clean our contact lenses each day with liquid, rubbing the lens gently with your finger to remove the debris.
5. Do not clean your contact case. Let's clean the contact lenses at least once a week with soap and water and let it dry.
6. Put your contact lenses in your mouth. We know that this happens, but remember that the mouth has many more bacteria than eyes. All this, as you will understand can lead to an eye infection.
7. Wear always contact lenses. For the most adventurous it is advisable to start on an agenda the use of contact lenses, and then realize how long you wear. If our eyes do not receive the proper oxygen supply, the corneas may begin to swell, leading to a series of irreversible complications (abrasions and infections). We remind you that the eyes need of calm and rest periods, then, from their breaks!
8. Sleeping with contact lenses. How many of you have never done? If you really do not want to wake up with puffy eyes, red and irritated, avoid doing so. Otherwise the bacteria will take over your eyes up to take you to blindness.
9. Leave the make-up on contact lenses. You're in a hurry, your friends are already waiting, you'll put your highliner and some residue ends on contact lenses. If this happens, do not leave everything there. Remove contact lenses and clean them.
10. Do not remove the lenses when your eyes are irritated. When your eyes are red and bother you, it is time to remove the contact lenses. One reason will be there and, anyway, your body is rejecting a foreign body.
11. Go into water with the lenses. Shower, hot tub, pool, are all bacteria-laden environments that can have a devastating effect on the eyes. A terrifying disease called Acanthamoeba keratitis, is known to occur after the use of hot tubs and can lead to vision loss. When we showering with contact lenses, try to keep as long as possible eyes closed. If it were to end up water in the eyes, we have to remove the contact lenses and clean with the solution.
12. Rub your eyes. If you are a person that always rubs his eyes, even if you do not use contact lenses, it may be led to the development of a disease called keratoconus. This could lead to the elongation of the cornea and the consequent loss of lucidity in vision. Consider using some spray to calm the itching sensation.
We hope to have given you a comprehensive list of things not to do when we use contact lenses, and especially to be been of help in the search for the solution immediately when these situations arise. Besides, how do you avoid a nap a few minutes even with contact lenses?
