Eyes sore and tearful when wearing contact lenses

The eyes are the windows to the soul. Nowadays, many people do not pay much attention to the health of their eyes. They do not pay attention to eye care. Over time, lying down for a long time to read or play with mobile phones will cause a great impact on vision. Many people have to wear contact lenses to alleviate myopia, because contact lenses do not seem to affect the overall appearance and can also treat myopia, but they can also cause these side effects.

Wearing contact lenses seems to be more beautiful and convenient for myopic patients than wearing framed glasses, but what they don’t know is that if the contact lenses are made of unqualified materials or are worn incorrectly, they will pose health risks to the eyes.

Although contact lenses seem convenient, they also hide many invisible problems. Therefore, even if your eyes have no contraindications to other contact lenses, it does not mean that you can just buy a pair of contact lenses and wear them. It also depends on what kind of contact lenses are suitable for you, and whether you have astigmatism, hyperopia, etc. This also requires an ophthalmic examination for contact lens fitting to determine.

Causes eye allergies

Contact lenses absorb proteins, lipids, collagen, etc. in tears, causing them to deposit on the surface of the lens, breeding bacteria, and causing corneal edema, corneal neovascularization and allergic reactions.

Corneal injury

When wearing contact lenses, a layer of "tears" is formed between the lens and the cornea, which serves as a lubricant and protector. In addition, human corneal cells protect the internal tissues of the eye through normal natural shedding and regeneration. If the eyes are irritated by wind and sand, the corneal cells will play a protective role and fall off, but they can regenerate and recover within 24 hours. The real culprit causing corneal injury is often improper wearing and unclean care methods.

Expert advice: Avoid sleeping with it on. The cornea of ​​the eye is a very special organ. It has no blood vessels and breathes with the help of air and surrounding tissues. If you sleep with glasses on, it will affect its breathing, and in serious cases it may cause corneal infection!

Wearing contact lenses for a long time can easily cause visual fatigue, so patients should not wear them for a long time. I hope the above content "Is it harmful to wear contact lenses frequently" is introduced here. Finally, I wish the patients a speedy recovery.
