Tips For Contact Lens Wearers To Keep Their Eyes Happy

Only a few parts of the human body "breathe" - the cornea is
one of them. Contact lenses are designed to permit the
cornea to breath and improve the wearer's vision. This feat
is not always easy for some corneas since some corneas are
more sensitive to foreign objects than others. Some
people's eyes adjust to this foreign object over time;
others react less positively. The best way for many contact
lens wearers to tell which kind of contact lens works best
with your particular eye is to use "trial and error".

Contact lens are a foreign object that somewhat block oxygen
from being absorbed through the cornea. A person who finds
that contacts dry out their eyes too quickly will prefer
soft or flexible disposable contacts. On the upside, these
soft contacts are very porous and allow more oxygen to get
through. The flip side of this feature is more natural
light is able to get through as well. The wearer usually
finds that his prescription will be adjusted slightly less
strong to accommodate this excessive light. Also, the
wearer usually is more sensitive to light and is advised to
always wear sunglasses outside.

When the eye doesn~t get enough oxygen, it tends to look
blood shot. While the cornea is one of the few places on
your body - outside the hair and nails - that have no blood
vessels, the eye will start to react to this loss by pumping
up the veins around the cornea, such as in the retina.
Extended contact wear and wearing your contacts beyond their
recommended period of time exasperate red eye. If red eye
exists long enough, it can trigger other conditions, such as
corneal neovascularization, and diseases, such as macular
degeneration.

Any time you feel pain or swelling - or for that matter, any
symptom related to contacts - you should immediately let
your optometrist or regular doctor know. Proper cleaning of
your lens should be performed ritualistically. Many
contacts solutions not only clean off naturally collecting
deposits on your lenses but also keep the lens supple and
your eyes moist. Never use your own saliva to clean off
your lens as your saliva can carry lots of infectious
matter. Also, make sure your makeup is fresh so it doesn~t
drop into your eye and slide between your lens and your
cornea.

So many people enjoy wearing contacts and maintain healthy
eyes. Statistically, two out of three wearers are women,
over 30 million Americans wear contacts, and eight out of
ten wear their contacts on a daily basis. The main reason
people prefer wearing contacts over wearing glasses is
people feel they look better. Furthermore, people who
properly care for their lenses and properly moisten and rest
their eyes encounter far less symptoms associated with
wearing contacts.
