Do your contacts sometimes irritate your eyes? If so, you may need to take a closer look at some of your habits. Things that you may think of as inconsequential may actually be doing some damage.
Here are a few common issues, and how to prevent them:
Dry Eyes. This may be the most frequently reported issue on contacts. Choose contacts that have a high water content, and take extra care to stay hydrated.
Allergies. Allergies are no fun, but unfortunately, they affect about three-fourths of contact lens wearers. Rubbing your eyes will only make them red and more irritated. Opting for daily disposables may be your best choice.
Keratitis. Keratitis is the technical term for inflation of the cornea. It's much more common in contact lens wearers. One of the biggest causes? Sleeping with your contacts in.
If you have questions about contacts or are ready for a new prescription, contact your optometry center Brighton, MI.
