Contact lenses are a medical solution and
therefore should be worn under the supervision of your doctor, in
absence of which it may lead to adverse effects. Always visit your
doctor before deciding to wear the contact lenses for vision correction.
Your doctor would first of all take your complete eye exam. However
before taking your eye exam your doctor may inquire about:
A) History of your health
B) Your family history
C) Examples of eye problems in the past
D) Your lifestyle and environment
Check your vision
Then your doctor would examine your vision to check
any vision disorder. This would include:
A) Checking your eye movement, color blindness and peripheral vision.
B) A test called glaucoma as it is one of the leading causes of blindness
in the U.S.
C) Analyzing the health of your optic nerve and retina.
By employing a routine of regular eye exam you can uncover the
conditions like nearsightedness, farsightedness, astigmatism and more.
Your doctor may dilate your pupils to know the health of your eyes.
These drops would make your eyes more sensitive to light resulting in a
blurred vision for a short time.
You should use your contact
lenses properly and carefully to avoid any complications which would
require the consultation of the doctor. If while wearing the contact
lenses some conditions are visualized then consult your doctor
immediately. These conditions are:
A) Pain in your eye
B) When your eye remains red for more than two days
C) When you have a kind of discharge from your eye.
D) When you have a blurry vision.
E) When your eye feels scratchy.
So, all these are important symptoms which require a doctor's
assistance, otherwise they could cause ill effects to your beautiful
eyes.
