Wear Contacts in Winter-3 Important Things You Need to Know
For so many girls, of course, including me, we chase prettier even in winter. Colorful contact lenses are a must for us.
However, due to cold weather and big wind, there are also 3 essential tips we should know when wearing contact lenses.
1. The Most Important is Moisturizing
During dry winter weather, dry eye syndrome occurs more frequently. Usually, the human body can feel dryness more easily in winter than in summer, especially outside a room; the high airflow can speed up tear evaporation and take away eye moisture, which causes our eyes to become dry.
So it's totally important to moisturize our eyes when wearing color contact lenses in winter.
Besides using specific eye drops, you'd better not wear colored lenses for a long time, commonly, not more than 8 hours in winter.
2. Notice Color Contacts' Clean
Also due to dry weather in winter, some villus and protein can easily stick to the lens. If there is a big wind outside, contact lenses are also easily adhered to some particle-like dust.
During this time, we have to remove our color contacts and clean them thoroughly; don't rub your eyes at the same time.
PS: You'd better not wear contact lenses on a hazy day; if you have to, just clean colored contacts frequently.
3. Other Common Things Occur in Winter
Because of the big temperature difference between the inside and outside of the eye, the moment you wear color contacts, sometimes, there may be some bubbles between the lens and the cornea, which will make you feel blurred vision.
Under this condition, you should close your eyes and roll your eyes softly while exhaling slowly, allowing the colored lens to cover your cornea perfectly.
I always thought everyone should be pretty and energetic to face a new day in our life, it's no doubt that wearing types of color contacts can bring us charming eyes and enough confidence.
However, on the other hand, I also advise you’d better not wear colored contact lenses under these 3 conditions.
3 Situations Don't Wear Color Contacts
1. Strong Wind and Dust StormUsually, during these situations, air flow will speed up, and the dust in the air will quickly make our colored lenses dirty. What's worse, the lenses may be blown off by the wind.
You'd better not put on color contacts. If you have to, I suggest you add a pair of wind goggles.
Once you feel any foreign sensation in your eyes, you should remove color contacts and clean them.
2.Hazy Day
In the hazy day, besides micro dust may stick to the lens, due to low air temperature in this weather, wearing color contacts in this situation may result in our eyes lacking oxygen and appearing red, an urticant phenomenon.
3.Have a Cold
You'd better not wear color contacts when having a cold. Because during this period, our body has weakened immunity and is not in a good state.
If wearing color contacts this term, may you feel dizzy and sick.
Ok, that's all I want to share with you today. From another aspect, winter is also good, which means you have the chance to have a look at these beautiful snows while most of the others don't.
