Navigating Contact Lens Myths
Many common misconceptions about contact lenses deter some people from trying them out. This guide will help you distinguish fact from fiction, allowing you to enjoy the multitude of benefits that contacts can offer.
Fact: Contacts cannot slip behind your eyes
Your eye's white part is protected by a membrane called the conjunctiva and connected to the inner eyelid; contact lenses have no chance of going further in than this natural barrier.
Common Concerns About Eye Health and Contact Lenses
Misconception: Can contacts harm my eyes?
Properly fitted and cared for under your optometrist's instructions, the risk of damage is extremely low. Follow good hygiene practices to minimize discomfort or infections.
Fact: Contacts are as safe as glasses
Contact lenses might seem expensive upfront, but in long-term use, they often provide better cost-effectiveness compared to glasses.
Myth: Contact care routines can be complicated
Advancements in lens technology simplify contact use significantly. Dly disposables offer the most convenience - wear them once and toss!
Fact: Regular eye health isn't compromised by contacts
Infections are uncommon but may occur with poor hygiene habits. Adhere strictly to your eye doctor's advice for safe usage.
Additional Myths Debunked
Misconception: Contacts aren't for part-time wear
Contacts can support vision during activities like sports or be a comfortable alternative when wearing glasses isn't feasible.
Fact: Specialized lenses for astigmatism
There are now contact lenses designed to correct astigmatism, making it possible for more people with this condition to benefit from contacts.
Who Can Wear Contacts?
Misconception: Contacts are only suitable for adults
Many teenagers wear contacts successfully and even some younger children. Age is less about a barrier than responsibility in using and caring for contact lenses properly.
Fact: Dry eyes don't mean no contacts
Specialized lenses and proper care can help manage or alleviate dry eye symptoms associated with wearing contacts.
Finding the Right Lens
Misconception: LASIK surgery patients cannot wear contacts
Consult your optometrist to determine suitability. While LASIK changes eye shape, it does not preclude one from needing vision correction later in life.
Fact: Options for post-surgery
For those who have undergone refractive surgeries like LASIK, there are still opportunities for contact lenses that suit their specific needs.
