Can cosmetic contact lenses be worn all year round?

Wear contact lenses as little as possible in autumn. Eye diseases occur frequently in autumn and winter. As the weather gets colder and colder, the climate will become drier and drier, which is more likely to cause various eye diseases. Besides developing good nursing habits, dry weather in autumn accelerates the evaporation of tears and increases the incidence of dry eye. Early dry eye patients may not feel "dry eyes", but have other nonspecific symptoms, such as foreign body sensation, photophobia, tears at the sight of the wind and so on. At this time, the cornea has been damaged like chapped skin. If the above symptoms last for more than a week or two, there will be dryness, eye pain, blurred or fluctuating vision and other discomfort, which can cause obvious decline in vision in severe cases. In case of improper wearing and other health problems, it may lead to inflammation. Appropriate artificial tears can relieve dry eye, but it is best not to exceed 6 times a day. Severe patients need to be replenished every half an hour to an hour, and ordinary patients only need to be replenished every two hours. It is worth noting that many patients often "self-treat" and use antibiotics and antiviral eye drops instead of artificial tears, which is inappropriate and may aggravate the symptoms of dry eye. In addition, the wearer should also pay attention to the cleanliness of the eyelids. It will be more effective to apply a towel to the eyes with warm water, preferably for ten minutes at a time.
