CONTACT LENSES

Day by day

Lucy and her contact lenses

Lucy wears contact lenses and is pedantic about them because she wants to use her lenses for a long time without suffering any side effects.

The importance of cleaning

When she wears her lenses for a long time during the day, she prefers to soak the lenses. She uses the ultrasonic or the mechanical lens cleaner which vibrate and together with the cleaning solution efficiently reduce the presence of bacteria. (page 13)

Lucy’s Optician monitors her eyes.

She keeps her contact lenses in a suitable case, which is not only aesthetically pleasing, but also always perfectly clean. She replaces the container every 3 months to assure the correct maintenance of the contact lenses.

Accessories

She uses accessories that make the daily routine of changing and cleaning the lenses easier. The lens catch mat, placed over the sink, is important to prevent the loss of the lenses down the drain. (page 8)

In the water

At the seaside, in the swimming pool and also in the shower it is best to take the contact lenses out. We recommend the use of a diving mask or a swimming goggle with power lenses.

Open Air

During open air activities she protects her eyes with sunglasses. At the seaside she uses artificial tears to prevent dehydration.

When she practices sport wearing semi-rigid contact lenses she uses adequate protection in order not to lose them.

In case one decides to keep the lenses, the contact with the water should be kept to a minimum:

In the sea she uses a mask to prevent losing the lenses and to prevent the irritation caused by the alteration of the tear’s salt concentration caused by salty water.

In the swimming pool the presence of bacteria and chlorine in the water causes infection, irritation or eye dryness which can make the removal of the lenses difficult. For this reason Lucy always wears water-proof swimming goggles. When she gets out of the water, she instills two drops of artificial tears and waits 15 minutes before removing them.

In closed environments

Air conditioning reduces the hydration of the eye surface.

When she works in the office, travels by plane or on a long car journey, she always carries all the necessary accessories and uses artificial tears to ensure the cornea remains hydrated.
