Over time, the use of the contact lens has been a great
source of argument. Judging from the fact that the eyes are among the five main
senses in the human body, a lot of people believe that contact lens; especially
for aesthetic purposes, is an unnecessary risk.
Contact lens is just a thin lens covering the eyes. Formerly, it was for
the correction of poor sight. But of recent, its more of a fashion accessory
with its wide range of colours and accessibility. They are like a proper eye
jewellery that accentuates the eyes and them sparkle. Admittedly, the contact
lens might cause a bit of itching. It is a foreign object being introduced into
the eyes. But, this is easily solved. Contact lenses come in a cupped shape.
They take-up the shape of the eyeballs and stay put, preventing them from
rolling to the back of your eye, gluing to your eye or even falling out…So,
don’t be scared to roll your eyes with your contacts on. Contact lens can’t
‘break’. Yes, they are lenses but they are not made of glass. They are made up
of a couple of advanced materials called silicone hydrogels which allow oxygen
to pass through to the cornea which makes them healthy for the eyes. They could
tear if pressure from pulling is applied to them. Wearing contact lens comes with a set of do’s
and don’ts that have to be followed carefully in order to protect your eyes
from irritation, itch and infections. Hypothetically, there are reasons why
people are against the idea of using contact lens and has to do with the fact
that the ideal ways of wearing and treating the lens might not be very clear.
This is the first of a 2 part series, and today we will be dealing with the
“CARE” issue.
