Eyes become dull after wearing contact lenses for a long time

Although colored contact lenses look good, they cannot be worn for a long time, and they need to be disinfected regularly. If not handled properly, they will affect the eyes and cause eye inflammation. Wearing colored contact lenses for a long time will lead to a decrease in the eye's antibody capacity, so the eyes will look dull when they take off the colored contact lenses, and the vision will easily become tired, and may even cause damage to the endophthalmium of the eye.

What happens if you wear contact lenses for a long time?

1. Decreased eye resistance

If you wear glasses for a long time in your daily life, your cornea will not be able to come into contact with the air. At this time, your eyes will not be able to breathe smoothly, and the lack of oxygen will cause a condition similar to the human body's "altitude sickness". In addition, long-term close contact with our cornea will cause the eyes to not metabolize normally, and eventually lead to a decrease in the resistance of the eyes.

Once the resistance of one eye decreases, bacteria and germs from other parts of life will invade, eventually causing various diseases. Therefore, experts recommend that you never use contact lenses to replace framed glasses. Although you can gain temporary beauty, you will lose your permanent health.

2. Visual fatigue

Nowadays, more and more people suffer from visual fatigue and dry eyes. In addition to excessive eye fatigue, the most common cause is wearing contact lenses for a long time. Wearing contact lenses for a long time can cause visual fatigue, eye itching, foreign body sensation, excessive eye mucus, dryness, burning eyes and blurred vision.

Therefore, in daily life, you should not wear contact lenses for more than six hours a day, so that your eyes can get enough rest. At the same time, when wearing contact lenses, you must also pay attention to washing or disinfecting your hands thoroughly before touching the lenses to avoid bacterial infection of the cornea.

3. Eye allergy

Contact lenses are very harmful. Experts point out that wearing contact lenses for a long time may also induce symptoms of eye allergies. This is because contact lenses will absorb proteins, lipids, collagen and other substances contained in tears, and cause these nutrients to deposit on the surface of the lens. If they are not cleaned for a long time, they will breed bacteria, leading to corneal edema, corneal neovascularization and allergic reactions.

Therefore, experts remind that in daily life, we should not only try to shorten the time of wearing contact lenses, but also pay attention to cleaning the contact lenses thoroughly and fully every day. Only in this way can we avoid damage to our eyes.

4. Abrasion of the cornea

Long-term wearing of contact lenses in daily life may cause corneal wear, which will not only lead to decreased vision, but also may cause serious consequences such as corneal epithelial detachment or perforation. There are also some contact lenses whose concavity does not match the convexity of the cornea. If you wear such contact lenses frequently, it will wear out the cornea, leading to corneal ulcers and may even cause irreversible vision loss.

Even if the vision can be corrected, white spots will be left on the cornea, affecting our lives. Therefore, in daily life, you must be careful when wearing contact lenses. It is best to go to a regular eyewear store to buy them. The quality of contact lenses sold at stalls is usually not guaranteed, which will cause more serious harm to your eye health.

Precautions

We all know the harm that cosmetic contact lenses can do to the eyes, but as long as they are worn correctly, they will not cause any harm to the eyes. Except for inferior cosmetic contact lenses, the damage they cause to the eyes is very terrible, so you should buy them from regular merchants.

Nowadays, people only need to learn how to wear them and know how long to wear them, which will be the best for their eyes. Therefore, learning more knowledge about contact lenses will give you more experience and confidence in choosing and using contact lenses. Choosing the wrong brand of contact lenses will be harmful to your eyes.
