What can't I do with contact lenses? Not in a high temperature environment?

It is recommended not to wear contact lenses in hot springs, spas and steam baths. It's hard to keep your face from getting wet. Those minerals are bad for contact lenses. It is said that contact lenses will melt if the temperature is too high. In addition, contact lenses contain water, which is easy to dehydrate at high temperature, which may cause the lenses to stick in the eyes and be difficult to take off, and taking them off may cause eye injuries. Once the hot spring pool contains bacteria, bacteria may also attach to contact lenses with steam and hot spring water, causing infection.

People who are allergic may wear contact lenses, which may lead to redness, conjunctivitis and swelling of the eyes. If they continue to wear it, it may endanger their eye health. When they have a cold and fever, the secretion of tears will be reduced, and bacterial metabolites will be deposited between the cornea and the lens, which will affect the oxygen permeability of contact lenses and cause bacterial corneal ulcers.

After the age of 40, we should also gradually bid farewell to contact lenses. Because at this time, the human eye tissue will undergo obvious degeneration, and the local resistance of the eyes will decrease, especially the ability of the eyeball to tolerate hypoxia. Therefore, people aged 40 to 60 can wear it for a short time, and it is best not to wear it over 60.

Contact lenses have strict hygiene requirements. If there are sandstorms, dust and volatile acid and alkali in the working environment, it is not suitable for wearing.

I hope that when you choose to wear contact lenses, you should first determine whether you meet the requirements.
