Can't you really wear contact lenses for eye stones?

A friend left a message for Curious Jun: Qiqi, I met a boy recently and liked him very much. In order to make a good impression, I changed my hairstyle and changed my glasses into contact lenses. But it is said that spring is dry and windy, and there are a lot of pollen, dust mites and dust floating in the wind. Wearing contact lenses is easy to cause eye infections, even ophthalmia. Is it really that serious? What if my eyes are broken? I'm not destined for him, am I?

Sister paper, calm down first. Generally speaking, a woman's chances of chasing a man are still relatively large, unless your appearance has reached the point where you can't bear to look straight. Now answer your question about contact lenses.

Curious Jun specially consulted Dr. Du Zhixin, director of the Eye Center of Zhejiang First Hospital. Dr. Du said that human eyes have protective reflexes. When dust enters, it will shed tears to wash away dirty things, but it is not so sensitive after wearing contact lenses. Protective reflex will be reduced, making eyes more susceptible to foreign objects such as dust. Contact lenses are easy to absorb all kinds of dust, so they should be carefully cleaned in spring, but it is best not to wear them in windy and dusty weather.

The doctor said that in fact, the problem of contact lenses is often not in the glasses themselves, but in people! Wear contact lenses for no more than ten hours every day. According to clinical experience, infection is often caused by improper care when wearing contact lenses, especially when some people wear glasses all night without taking them off, or do not use regular cleaning solution when cleaning lenses.

Dr. Du thinks that the rumor that contact lenses can cause eye stones is unscientific. Most eye stones are caused by meibomian gland dysfunction and have nothing to do with wearing contact lenses. Contact lenses can aggravate meibomian gland inflammation to some extent, but they are not the root cause of meibomian gland inflammation. Many people with meibomian gland dysfunction do not wear contact lenses.

To sum up, correct wearing habits will not cause eye stones and infections. However, contact lenses do make eyes more susceptible to foreign objects such as dust, so it is best not to wear them in windy and dusty weather.
