How to care for contact lenses

Despite the many benefits in terms of care, contact lenses need more attention than glasses. Contact lens conditions must always be hygienic so as not to cause health problems such as eye infections or other visual complications.

Although this cannot be completely avoided, you can prevent eye infections in the following ways.
  • Always wash thoroughly and dry your hands before attaching or removing contact lenses.
  • Open your contact lenses before bathing or swimming. Try not to touch your contact lenses with water.
  • Always try to remove contact lenses before going to sleep. It is not recommended to wear contact lenses permanently. When we close our eyes with contact lenses left in the eye, the amount of oxygen in the eye decreases. This makes the surface of the eye vulnerable to infection. In addition, germs on the lens will stick to the cornea during sleep.
  • Use a special cleaning fluid recommended by your doctor or pharmacy to clean and soak your contact lenses. Do not use water or other liquids such as sea water, ponds, even distilled water can contain acanthamoeba organisms that can cause eye infections.
  • Rub gently when cleaning contact lenses with cleaning fluid. Be careful not to tear the contact lens.
  • Clean contact lenses and disposable lens storage boxes once every three months to keep them clean.
  • If you wear disposable contact lenses, you don't need to clean them because they are not designed to be used again. Never use disposable contact lenses for more than one day.

Risk of illness due to dirty contact lenses

If used correctly, contact lenses are safe. But the risk of eye infections caused by contact lenses must always be taken into account. Because germs are everywhere, including on the hands and eyelids. When bacteria or fungus attaches to your contact lenses, your eyes may also become infected.

Disinfectants in contact lens cleaning fluid are not always 100% effective in eradicating fungi and bacteria. In addition to fungal and bacterial infections, contact lenses can also cause eye irritation, corneal ulcers, conjunctivitis and corneal abrasion.

Seek immediate medical attention if your eye can experience contact lens disorders. Characterized by symptoms of irritation, stool is constantly excreted, swollen, painful and sensitive, red, with visual impairment or sensitive to light.
