Women do not stop in pursuit of beautynothing. For many years, the popular saying "Beauty requires sacrifice" has been extremely relevant. But sometimes these very sacrifices in the pursuit of beauty are forced to make women's health. High heels, light clothing, solariums. And recently, colored contact lenses have become increasingly popular. Women in search of variety and an ideal image began to experiment not only with hair color, but also with eye color. Not so long ago, contact lenses were only vision correcting. However, recently, colored contact lenses for people with perfect vision have appeared on the open market. They are designed to change the color of the iris, without worsening the quality of vision. Short-term wearing of correctly selected colored lenses will not, in general, cause much harm to your vision. However, in no case should you forget that improper use of any contact lenses - both corrective and colored, can have an extremely negative effect on a woman's vision.
Common myths about contact lenses
There are a huge number of different misconceptions regarding wearing contact lenses. And as a result, a person's vision suffers. So:
- Term of use of contact lenses
Many women believe that they can wearcontact lenses much longer than indicated on the packaging. However, this is not true at all - as contact lenses are used, deposits inevitably accumulate on their surface. And a large number of such deposits leads to the occurrence of various inflammatory processes of the eyes.
- Continuous contact lens wear time
Sometimes women don't take it off for some reasoncolored contact lenses at night, mistakenly believing that nothing terrible will happen because of this. However, research by ophthalmologists says otherwise. Human eyes, like any other organ, need a sufficient amount of oxygen. During sleep, the flow of oxygen to the eyeballs is already reduced due to closed eyelids. And if contact lenses are not removed, the amount of oxygen entering the eyeballs is even less.
- Carnival contact lenses
Besides just colored contact lenses,designed to change the color of the iris, there are so-called carnival colored lenses. They change not only the color of the eyes, but also its structure - various patterns on the iris. The eyes can be turned, for example, into cat eyes. And many women, striving for shock value, wear such lenses almost all the time. However, this should never be done, since such lenses are much thicker than ordinary ones, and therefore they pass oxygen much worse. And vision in such lenses is much worse, since they reduce the clarity and contrast of perception.
- Colored contact lenses for brown eyes
Many women believe that there are no lenses for brown eyes. However, this is not true – they are sold along with all the others.
Problems associated with wearing colored contact lenses
In the event that you decide thatcolored contact lenses should still be used, remember that you may encounter a number of problems. For example, inflammatory processes of the visual organs and allergic reactions. As a result, frequent conjunctivitis and corneal edema may occur. To reduce the risk of developing such complications, it is necessary to carefully and properly care for contact lenses. Incorrect selection of contact lenses can also lead to quite serious consequences: decreased vision and even almost complete blindness. Never risk your vision and do not choose contact lenses yourself, without the help of an ophthalmologist. If you work in a room with a very high level of dust, smoke concentration, or other chemicals, you should refuse to wear colored contact lenses during working hours. This fact is easy to explain: the material from which contact lenses are made has the property of very quickly absorbing any foreign impurities. As a result, inflammatory processes and allergic reactions are almost inevitable. Of course, sometimes you can use colored contact lenses. However, in order for them not to cause any harm to the body, do not forget that, first of all, contact lenses, colored or ordinary, are a medical device. And their incorrect, uncontrolled use is unacceptable under any circumstances. We recommend reading:
