In the world there are billions of people using contact lenses, in some cases a matter of aesthetics, in others because of health. I particularly used for many years contact lenses but several years ago I returned to the traditional glasses and there I will stay.

However, during the years contact lenses used in this topic I learned that hygiene is essential, the health of your eyes is very delicate and even the smallest particle can cause great damage.

So if you’re thinking about starting to use contact lenses, keep reading and see some recommendations that will be useful and safe care for the health of your eye.

• Wash your hands forever. Before you put yourself or take your lenses you must always wash your hands. Touching your eye with any germ can be the first step to an infection in the eye.
• If you suffer from an allergy to use such lenses can exacerbate the symptoms because the allergy can paste the lenses. In this case it is best to use eyeglasses, and if you are someone who can not be detached from the contact lenses, be sure to wash them frequently.
• Always wear eye drops. The lenses should always be moist, not just because when dry are very uncomfortable, but can get to hurt your eye.
• If you use disposable contact lenses should do so only for the time indicated, if only for 2 months, do not try to “make them last longer.” Otherwise dirt may accumulate on the lenses and cause irritation, infection or permanent damage.
• Let your eyes rest. Used eyeglasses for a few hours a day, thus oxygen reaches your cornea directly.
• Visit the eye doctor frequently, you should regularly monitor the health of your eyes and see if you need a change in prescribing.

Contact lenses are a great option, but if not caring as you can even cause permanent damage to your eyes.
