Contact lenses are cool to wear, even if you don’t need
them to correct vision problems. You can change your eye color anytime
you want. If you want to buy a pair of non prescription contact lenses
you’ll need to know a few facts about how to care for them, and when to
wear the lenses that you’ve bought. There are risks, so know the facts
on how to wear them and take care of them. Losing your eyesight is not
worth it over wearing non prescription contact lenses.
They can be bought over the Internet, or in a eyewear store. When
you get your first set of lenses wear them on a timed schedule to get
used to them. Your eyes will need an adjustment period. You might
experience a little reaction to light, and at times there might be some
redness to develop. Remember, if there is any continual drainage you’ll
need to remove them immediately. Instructions will be included on how
long to keep the non prescription contact lenses in.
A word of warning is to never share them with anyone else. Serious infection can
develop, and you don’t want disease spread into your precious eyes.
Cleaning is serious business even if you haven’t shared your non
prescription contact lenses. Every time you remove them, clean them with
your cleaning solution. Before you clean them though, wash your hands
with a lint free towel. You don’t want to stick material of any kind to
your non prescription contact lenses, and then in your eye.
No matter how clean you are there are more rules about cleanliness. Don’t
sleep in them, and if you’re a woman watch cosmetic application. Never
apply make up and then put your non prescription contact lenses in your
eye. Also, don’t wear oil based cosmetics because the oil can transfer
from your hand to eye, which will destroy your lenses. If you go
swimming take them out because the chemicals in a pool are rough on non
prescription contact lenses.
It might be hard to believe, but there are more rules about hygiene. All types of chemicals in creams,
lotions and acne solutions shouldn’t be placed too close to your eyes
when wearing your non prescription contact lenses. Hair sprays are a
real problem because of the sticky solution that keeps your hair in
place. Switch to a mousse for hair control, and you’ll be safer when
using the lenses. Always clean your non prescription contact lenses by
soaking 2 times per week for a couple of hours.
The type that you buy is rated for a generalized use of time. Extended wear can last with
extreme proper care techniques for 8-9 months although some are designed
for short term use of only 45 days. Don’t ever overuse them. Take care
of your new eyes, and if you do you’ll have the option to change color
with other non prescription contact lenses, it’s worth it.
