How to wear contact lenses? Is the thinner the better?

Many people are wearing contact lenses for the first time and don’t know how to use them. How to fit contact lenses? Are thinner contact lenses better?

How to wear contact lenses

It is recommended to go for an eye test and examination when wearing contact lenses for the first time, because not everyone can wear contact lenses. For example, patients with trachoma, glaucoma, chronic dacryocystitis, conjunctivitis, corneal ulcers, hyperthyroidism and other diseases cannot wear contact lenses.

When choosing lenses, it is recommended that you choose lenses with high oxygen permeability, which have good oxygen permeability and are comfortable to wear. Here is some common sense for you to read: Contact lenses tend to dry out after wearing them for a long time, and they are likely to fall off when you blink, so it is best to buy a bottle of eye drops specifically for contact lenses when you get your glasses, so that you can use them directly when your eyes are dry (ordinary eye drops cannot be used directly when wearing contact lenses, as this will damage the glasses)

Or carry a small bottle of care solution with you, so you don't have to worry when it falls out of your glasses :)

For first-time wearers, do not wear it for more than 3 hours, and for the second time, do not wear it for more than 6 hours.

You can wear it normally on the third day, but don't wear it overnight.

Are thinner contact lenses better?

Not absolutely. Thin contact lenses increase oxygen permeability and improve comfort, but they can easily cause the lenses to dry out and become dehydrated, causing dry and stained corneas, and they can also be easily damaged.

Okay, that’s all the introduction about the precautions for wearing contact lenses. I hope you all understand it.
