what exactly are contacts lenses are they a blessing or a curse? when i had them for the first time i was boggled .3 years later now when i look at myself in the mirror with spectacles on my face-i think i don’t look so bad in them.
caring for your eyes while using lenses is a serious matter and if their occurs a

ny mishap or their is any negligence in care then it must be made up in short time(less that a day) and should be immediately taken care of.

If anything needs to be taken care off then their is always a good reason why it needs to be monitored seriously ,as is with the contact lenses ,you may get your cornea infected by using infected lenses n this may ultimately require corneal graft and this has nothing to with the duration you put on the lens.

your cornea may also get damaged if it gets deprived of oxygen as the lens covers it and this may even deteriorate your vision even further.

The problem with me was that i had an allergic reaction in my eyes and i used to continuosly feel uncomfortable and as if their was something in my eyes and my eyes used to be red for most of the time.Then i was advised to use spectacles and use lenses only occasionally and i have been following this advise since then.

Now returning back to the topic how to care for your eyes while using contact lenses?

1. Always keep an extra pair of contacts and a bottle of protein removing solution in your bag while going out, if due to any reasons you cannot keep the protein removing solution then you must keep the lens case with you,this is advisable as you may not know if your going trip gets extended,
you should immediately remove the lenses in case of any itching,discomfort or redness.

2. Also always keep a lens case and protein removing solution at the place where you work or at your college locker ,and also in your friends house where you are visiting very frequently and may even stay for a few days,there will surely be times when you’ll thank yourself of doing so..

3. Look for any scratches,abrasions or dark spots in your lenses by keeping them against bright light ,prferably daylight-as this may cause scratches in your eyes too-if your eyes get red every time you put on lenses then be sure get your eyes checked by an ophthalmologist.

4. Once your lenses have expired ,then it simply means that you got to get a new pair and don’t even think of using them any further..

5. For you pals who wear lenses continuosly ,if their are time when you think you really don’t need to put them on ,then don’t-just get a pair of glasses that you look good in and make the folks whom you care about accustomed to it.

Contact lenses are costly ,you not that perhaps better than me,so you may think of making them last a bit  longer then their stipulated expiry date,but your eyes need to last even longer-so don’t compromise the Gods gift of vision just for a few bucks .
