Wearing Sunglasses can protect the macular area of the eyes

Summer sunlight is very intensive and strong. Eyes are a part of the body that directly accepts ultraviolet light. The macular region is the focal point of light and is more vulnerable to light damage. Prolonged exposure to ultraviolet radiation may lead to premature aging and macular degeneration. If you are planning to spend some time in the hot sun, we recommend you wear appropriate sunglasses to protect your eyes. If you’re wondering “how do you choose the right sunglasses?” then read on!

Experts report that sunglasses, when reaching UV400, can interrupt ultraviolet light below 400nm. Made of synthetic resins, polarized lenses are a relatively desirable choice for sunglasses. Gray lenses can absorb most of the infrared and ultraviolet rays. Yellow lenses can make eyes more comfortable and prevent some of the harmful light.

Do not wear contact lenses when swimming to avoid eye infection

People that suffer from nearsightedness sometimes prefer to wear contact lenses in summer for convenience and beauty. However, improper use of contact lenses also has pitfalls. Contact lenses are also known as corneal contact lenses, which are divided into two kinds of rigid and soft lenses based on the hardness of the material. Soft corneal contact lenses are more common and can be used to correct vision in the day time. Rigid corneal contact lenses have a good optical effect and high oxygen permeability, however, they take longer to get adjusted to.

Swimming is a popular way to relieve the summer heat. Can you wear soft contact lenses when swimming? No! Generally, pool water contains a large number of micro-organisms and bacteria, if soft contact lenses absorb these harmful substances, it will stimulate your corneas and conjunctiva and can result in watering eyes, pain and other discomforts. If you can’t see clearly in water because of myopia, you can choose to wear swimming goggles with a certain myopic degree.

Take turns to wear makeup and wear lenses to prevent keratitis

How does anyone who enjoys wearing makeup on a regular basis wear soft contact lenses? A good habit to start with is to put on lenses before makeup. Take off lenses before taking off makeup. Ensure your hands are clean when taking off contact lenses to avoid bacterial infection. In addition, eye makeup should be as simple as possible, and minimize the use of mascara, eye shadow and other cosmetics that could irritate your eyes.

Without the finishing touch of eye makeup, beauty is at a disadvantage. How can we solve this problem? A pair of MCT OK lenses is a perfect choice. This is a rigid contact lens that can effectively cure myopia. These lenses work by putting on the lenses at night and taking them off the next morning. We can ensure that you will have good eyesight for a whole day. Plus perfect eye makeup, your eyes will be bright and charming.

Diabetic patients can not wear contact lenses due to fragile cornea

Can diabetic patients with myopia wear soft contact lenses? No! Because of long-term elevated blood sugar, metabolic disorders, and low resistance, the rate of corneal infection in diabetic patients is increased, that may cause keratitis, conjunctivitis, and so on. Therefore, blood sugar is not controlled well, it is not conducive to the eye health of diabetic patients in case of long-term wearing soft contact lenses.

Regularly clean contact lenses to improve eye health

Bacteria and viruses multiply rapidly in summer. Once bacteria and virus get into the eyes, it is very easy for eyes to get infected. Therefore, for the contact lens wearers, it is of the utmost importance to take good care of contact lenses.

Accompanied by cleaning pad, Web Lens Box cleans more thoroughly and prolongs the use life of lenses. With the exemption of weekly protein removal, Web Lens Box is more economical; the design of the cleaning pad is suitable for any hand shape, and the breakage of the lens in the cleaning process can be effectively avoided. Wash lens surface before deep cleaning. Use a cleaning pad to clean first, and then clean with suspended three-dimensional corneal contact lens cleaning instrument.

Applying ultrasonic frequency conversion cleaning technology, suspended three-dimensional corneal contact lens cleaning instrument can remove not only the surface of cornea contact lenses, and the protein, lipid, tear film, dirt and other organic components surrounding the cornea lenses, but also clean the sediment inside cornea contact lenses. It can improve the safety of all kinds of contact lenses and make sure that they do not cause eye damage. It is suitable for the cleaning of rigid lenses, soft lenses, and other lenses.

People with eye diseases should suspend the use of all kinds of contact lenses

During severe cold, or after the disappearance of systemic symptoms of influenza, because there is no blood vessel in the cornea, the virus may also lurk in the corneal tissue, so you are advised not to wear contact lenses before the influenza is completely removed by medicine. Do not wear contact lenses when you are suffering from conjunctival eye diseases, such as pinkeye. Do not wear contact lenses after eye trauma and before diabetes, rheumatism, hyperthyroidism and other diseases are not effectively controlled.

Pay attention to eye hygiene and prevent myopia scientifically

We should use eyes rationally in life to prevent myopia. Pay attention to eye health, do not spend extended periods of time reading or using a computer, take 10 minutes break every 30 minutes, or close eyes for a rest or to do eye exercises, and you can also go out to do some sports or look somewhere in the distance.

In order to ensure the safe use of contact lenses, we need to develop good hygiene habits. The users need to complete the cleaning and disinfection procedures in accordance with specifications.
