Eye Care Tips for Wearing Contact Lenses During the Rainy Season
During the rainy season, in addition to taking care of your overall health, it's crucial to give special attention to your eyes. When it rains, rainwater is often contaminated with dirt, including dust particles, germs, bacteria, and viruses.
Tips for Eye Care When Wearing Contact Lenses During the Rainy Season
If rainwater gets into your eyes or if you touch your eyes with wet hands, it could cause irritation, infection, or increase the risk of conjunctivitis, especially for those who wear contact lenses regularly. Contact lenses can easily become a breeding ground for germs. Therefore, eye and contact lens care during the rainy season is essential.
Tips for Proper Contact Lens Use:
- Always wash your hands thoroughly and dry them before handling your contact lenses to remove any dirt from your hands.
- If you're using gel or alcohol spray to clean your hands, wait for them to dry before touching your contact lenses.
- Clean your contact lenses only with a lens cleaning solution specifically made for them.
- Change the contact lens solution every day and replace the lens case every two weeks or at least once a month to maintain cleanliness.
- Always check the expiration date of your contact lenses before use. Do not use lenses that have expired.
- Don't forget to check your eyes before inserting your contact lenses for any unusual symptoms to prevent damage to your eyes, such as redness, excessive tearing, or blurred vision.
- If you feel discomfort, pain, irritation, or notice discharge in your eyes after wearing contact lenses, remove them immediately.
During the rainy season or on rainy days, it might be better to wear glasses instead of contact lenses to reduce the risk of them coming into contact with contaminants in the rainwater.
