The Contact Lens Problem and Its Future

The contact lens problem always regarded how safe it is for the eye to have a foreign object in it for long periods of time. Not to mention that some of us do not respect the directions that come with this product or given by the doctor and we do what suits us best; thus, leaving the contacts in the eye beyond directed time, not cleaning them as per instructions, and so on.


Common Problems

Contact lenses can fuse to the eyeball .– It has been reported through a study a case where the contact lens fused to the eye causing the man blindness. However, it has also been noted that those were hard contact lenses something that very few people use now a days.

Contact lens can hold foreign materials against the cornea – In a recent study it was found that hard contact lenses can trap, absorb and concentrate chemicals and then release them by hydrogel contact lens on the already compromised cornea causing it even more injury. Also the presence of any lens in the eye prevents adequate irrigation.


Other Difficulties

Contact lens presents a particular hazard because they can absorb and retain chemical vapors. This is the greatest contact lens problem as gases, vapors, fumes and smoke can seep behind inadequate protective devices and injure the eye. At the same time, it has been found that contact lens wearers are somewhat protected from things such as onion peeling.

A typical contact lens problem is mainly caused directly by the person who wears it in most cases. Contact lenses get to be so comfortable that one simply tends to misuse them and not follow the directions indicated by the manual or by the doctor. Generally this type of contact lens problem can be easily resolved when in first stage. Here too many people tend to linger and take matters in their own hands, blaming it later on the lens.

It is important however to recognize that however advanced the technology there still is a foreign object in your eye that is naturally not supposed to be there. Before wearing any kind of contact lenses, whether they are for vision correction or just to enhance the color of your eyes, consult a doctor to determine what is best for you. Contact lenses come in many shapes and forms not to mention brands so, choosing what is right for you can be quiet a task.

To avoid any contact lens problem follow the instructions given by your doctor and the product itself (they all come with leaflets that educates anyone who will be wearing them) about wearing procedures, amount of time, cleaning and other such directions.

You should then be free of any contact lens problem and be set to enjoy the advantages and great look it offers you.
