How much do you know about the dangers of cosmetic contact lenses?

In order to make their eyes look bright and lively, many girls now choose to wear colored contact lenses to realize this wish. They wear colored contact lenses whether they are working or shopping, just to attract everyone's attention and satisfy their vanity. But we know that wearing cosmetic contact lenses for a long time can cause great harm to the eyes, and can cause eye congestion or corneal inflammation.

1. Cause corneal staining

In order to save costs, many cosmetic contact lens manufacturers only use two layers of film instead of three layers. They directly brush paint on the inner layer of the lens and then bake it to dry. If consumers wear them for a long time, it is likely to cause corneal staining.

2. Eye congestion and inflammation

Wearing colored contact lenses, due to excessive chemical ingredients, may cause congestion and inflammation of the eyes due to bad wearing habits, eye sensitivity and weather reasons.

3. Permanent blindness

Wearing cosmetic contact lenses for a long time can cause corneal hypoxia, deformation and eye infection, leading to serious eye diseases such as corneal perforation and even permanent blindness.

4. You may get corneal inflammation

People who wear contact lenses and cosmetic lenses will have corneal inflammation to some extent, because they will interfere with the normal metabolism of the cornea and also affect the metabolism of tears.

Precautions for wearing colored contact lenses

1. If you must wear colored contact lenses, you must first disinfect and clean them. Also, wash your hands carefully when wearing them. Wash your hands at least twice with soap under running water.

2. Be extra careful when removing or putting on the lenses to avoid causing damage to the eyeball and cornea.

3. If you feel eye discomfort after wearing them, take them off in time. If you have any eye discomfort, you should go to a professional hospital for an eye check to ensure that you have no eye disease before wearing them.

4. If your eyes become dry after wearing the contact lenses, do not use the usual eye drops. Go to an eye store and buy special eye drops for cosmetic contact lenses.

5. Do not wear the contact lenses immediately after buying them. Soak them in care solution for four hours first.

6. If your nails are too long, trim them to prevent them from scratching the lenses.
