U

ed Eyes After Contact Lenses? Tips to Prevent Irritation for Lens Wearers

5 months ago

I'm noticing redness around my eyeballs after wearing lenses for just one hour. I try to wear glasses but as a model, I have to wear lenses for work. What should I do to avoid redness and irritation in eyes?

First, reduce your contact lens wear time use them only when absolutely necessary. Second, switch to high water content lenses like silicone hydrogel lenses, which have higher oxygen diffusion and allow longer wear time comfortably.​

If contact lens intolerance persists with redness after short use, consider refractive surgery like LASIK. It gives complete freedom from both contacts and glasses.​

Overuse of lenses can also cause dryness. Use lubricating eye drops, follow proper hygiene, and get an eye check-up to rule out allergies or infections.
