What should I do if my colored contact lenses cannot be put in? How can I wear them to reduce the damage?

Colored contact lenses are worn by many people and are a relatively common product. But what should you do if you can’t wear them? How to reduce the harm of wearing colored contact lenses?

What to do if you can't put on your contact lenses

I was so nervous that I kept blinking and couldn't put it on.

This situation usually occurs to novices, and the problem can be solved in four steps.

Step 1: Don’t be nervous. This is a common problem for beginners. Don’t be nervous, calm down and start again.

Step 2: Place the contact lenses on the wearing rod. Be careful not to leave too large a contact area between the contact lenses and the wearing rod, otherwise the contact lenses will easily stick to the rod and become inconvenient to wear.

Step 3: Use the index finger of one hand to lift up the upper eyelid along the eyeliner. Be sure to pull up the eyelashes as well, so that the eyelashes will not get in the way when you wear it. Then use your thumb to lift your lower eyelid so that you won’t blink.

Step 4: Hold the wearing stick with your other hand and gently bring the contact lenses on the stick close to your eyeballs. Once the contact lenses are on your eyeballs, they will be adsorbed to them. This is great! Isn't it simple?

Contact lenses cannot be attached to the eyes

This situation usually means that the contact lenses are not moist enough. In this case, the problem can be solved in one step, which is to moisten the contact lenses with care solution before wearing them.

The eyes are too small to wear

In this case, either the diameter is not selected correctly or the correct wearing method is not mastered.

People with small eyes can choose the smallest diameter contact lenses. Do not blindly choose contact lenses with a diameter that is too large in order to enlarge the eyes, as this will definitely not work for you.

When wearing it for small eyes, be sure to use your fingers to open the eyes. Small eyes usually have small eye sockets rather than small eyeballs, so as long as you use your index finger to lift up the upper eyelid along the eyeliner, and then use your thumb to lift up the lower eyelid, you will be able to open the eyes using this method.

How to wear colored contact lenses to reduce damage

Cleaning

1. Before wearing contact lenses, be sure to wash your hands thoroughly. If you are using a contact lens stick, you need to wash the stick as well.

2. Clean the contact lens case, contact lens tweezers, contact lens sticks, etc. regularly, and it is best to clean them once with clean water and then with care solution, which can play a role in sterilization and disinfection.

3. Contact lenses also need to be cleaned regularly, preferably every night. After removing the contact lenses, rub them gently with clean water, then soak them in care solution. Note that the technique for cleaning the contact lenses must be gentle to avoid scratching the lenses due to strong force and long nails.

Don't use eye drops indiscriminately

When wearing cosmetic contact lenses, you may feel dry eyes and sore eyes due to lack of oxygen. At this time, you cannot use eye drops casually. Cosmetic contact lenses have extremely strong adsorption properties, and general eye drops contain preservatives and other ingredients. They cannot be dropped directly on the cosmetic contact lenses. When you feel dry eyes and sore eyes, it is best to use special artificial tears and cosmetic contact lens lubricating drops under the guidance of a doctor.

Reduce wearing time

The maximum wearing time of colored contact lenses should not exceed 8 hours a day. It is recommended to use colored contact lenses and frame glasses alternately. Also, colored contact lenses should not be worn overnight, otherwise the eyes will be in a situation of extreme hypoxia and dryness. Remember to wear colored contact lenses as little as possible. After all, allowing the eyes to breathe normally is the basic requirement for ensuring eye health.

Okay, my friends, now you know what to do if you can’t wear your colored contact lenses.
