What to do if your contact lenses are dry

Whether or not contact lenses can be used after drying depends on the situation. Generally, there are two situations:

The first one is that the time is short, only a few hours, or you forget to put the care solution in at night, and the next day you find that the lens has become dry due to water loss. This situation is generally not a big problem, because the time is short and the lens material will not change. At this time, you need to soak the lens in the care solution for at least two hours, then take it out to observe whether the lens is deformed and feel whether the lens is still soft. If everything is normal, you can continue to wear it.

The second type takes a longer time. Many people like to wear contact lenses and frames interchangeably. They wear frame glasses during daily work and contact lenses when going out for fun. When they take out their contact lenses again, they find that the lenses have dried up. At this time, a long time has passed. In this case, it is not recommended to wear them anymore and you should change to another pair. Because the lenses have not been soaked in care solution for a long time, a lot of bacteria will grow on the surface, and the lens material will also change. Even if you soak them in care solution again during this time, it will affect the wearing comfort and health, so you should directly change them to a new pair.

In addition, in order to ensure the cleanliness and hygiene of the lenses, the care solution needs to be changed every three days. If the lenses or care solution are expired, they should be discarded immediately to better protect our eyes.
