rosacea. There is a general view among people that rosacea sufferers
should not wear contact lenses, be it colored contact lens, cosmetic
contact lens, disposable contact lens or custom contact lens. Is the
perception really true? What is the truth here?
Over 50 million people suffer from Rosacea. Broadly speaking, it is a common
inflammatory disorder. When one suffers from it, he will have redness on
and across face, cheeks, forehead and eyelids. Fair skinned people are
its main victims. This acne like disease affects middle aged people the
most. One is likely to have red bumps and stinging sensations.
The most common of rosacea is ocular rosacea which affects more
than half of all the sufferers. The general symptoms of ocular rosacea
are redness, crusts on the eyelids, blurry vision, pain in the eye and
alike. So, is it possible to use contact lens at the time you have
rosacea? Is it safe for someone with ocular rosacea to wear contact lenses?
The answers to the above questions are that you can wear
contact lens, colored contact lense, bifocal contact lenses, toric
lenses and soflens even when you suffer from rosacea and it is
completely safe. As you may have one of your vital organs under attack,
you should always consult your physician about the safety of wearing
contact lens colors.
Wearing contact lens with rosacea can be
problematic to some. So, it is always wise to go for prescription
contact lenses. With different therapies, it is possible to tackle
rosacea easily and wearing contact lens with rosacea with proper care is
very easy. Hence, both contact lens and rosacea are compatible with each
other.
