Switching to contact lenses can be daunting at first, as many people expect a lengthy adjustment period when they move from glasses to contacts. The adjustment period for new contacts varies from person to person.
It also depends on the type of prescription and contact lenses prescribed. You'll find that most soft contact lenses only take a few days for your eyes to adjust to.
If you already wear contacts adjusting to a new type of contact may also take some time. You may find that you experience a crisper and clearer vision by swapping to a new type of lens. There are a huge selection of new contact lenses on the market.
Don't be afraid to try these as they could offer you a more comfortable wear. Yes, most rigid gas permeable contact lenses can take a few weeks to get used to. Some might never find these contact lenses to be comfortable, hence the growing popularity of soft contact lenses.
The adjustment period for rigid gas permeable contacts is usually around two weeks. We recommend that you ease into these contacts slowly. Wearing contact lenses for astigmatism is no different from wearing normal contact lenses.
The only difference is that they are positioned differently. Some contact lens wearers may encounter the problem of the lenses rotating out of focus. Having a consultation with an eye doctor can help you choose a brand of contact lenses best suited to your eyes.
Multifocal contacts , also known as varifocal contact lenses offer lens wear for distances and close up objects. These lenses are great, however, they usually take a little longer to get used to. Whilst adapting to these lenses, the wearer may see glare at night or experience blurry vision. They offer great value for money. This means you can enjoy fresh lenses more often.
However, if your optician suggests it, you could be able to wear monthly or 2-weekly lenses continuously. You should only wear them for if your optician recommends it and for as long as they have said. Putting in contact lenses is easy when you know how, just follow these easy steps: Wash and dry your hands, then gently lift the lens from the packet onto your index fingertip. Hold your upper eyelid up while pulling down on your lower lid and place the contact lens over your iris.
If you find this tricky, try looking to the side and place it onto the white part. Settle it in place by looking up and down then strongly blink. It should have settled in place comfortably by now, so repeat the steps for the other eye. Because wearing contact lenses means placing a foreign object on the surface of your eye, it can take some getting used to. You may experience mild eye issues, like those listed below. Some blurriness is common for new contact lens wearers.
The distortion usually results from dryness. To counteract the moisture loss, talk to your eye care practitioner about medicated eye drops or pick up over-the-counter drops from your favourite drugstore. Do not drive or bike while experiencing blurry vision. If you have to travel, remove your contacts and use glasses instead to reduce the risk of an accident. You may find yourself blinking more often or your eyes tearing up more than usual while adjusting to new lenses.
These symptoms should dissipate within the first few uses. This alleviates most mild discomfort. Your eyes may begin to feel tired after wearing contact lenses for a brief period of time. To prevent and treat eye fatigue, only wear your contacts for a couple hours at a time to start. The time frame typically varies from eight to 16 hours a day and will likely depend on your eye health, how well you tolerate contacts and whether you suffer from dry eyes or sensitivity.
What this means: If you have sensitive eyes and work extra long days, you might need to keep backup glasses so you can take your daily lenses out after eight hours. In other words, can you use dailies more than once?
No, you cannot use daily disposable lenses more than once. They must be discarded at the end of each day without exception. Even if you wear them for only a few hours one day, you still need to toss them after that use and open a fresh pair the next day. If you wear daily disposable lenses and you want to take a nap, you may be tempted to pop your lenses into disinfecting solution for a few hours and put them back in after you wake up.
However, daily disposables must be discarded after each use, even if you wear them for only a few minutes or hours.
