How to take care of your eyes in summer if you wear contact lenses ☀️

Visual health is also protected from the sun.

If you wear contact lenses, summer can be a difficult time: strong sun, water or marine activities, air conditioning... all of these can irritate your eyes more than usual. Here's how to keep them fresh and well-preserved.

1. Always wear certified sunglasses.

Sunglasses don't block UV rays. Although many include protection, they can't replace quality sunglasses. Always choose lenses with a UV400 filter.

2. Avoid bathing with sunglasses

Whether in the water or the ocean, the likelihood of contracting eye infections increases when wearing contact lenses. If you require good vision, wear contact lenses every day and dispose of them after using the bathroom.

3. You remember your artificial tears

Heat and dry air can cause dry eyes, especially if you wear contact lenses for long periods of time. Maintain constant hydration by using preservative-free tears.

4. Strengthens hygiene

When you touch your eyes, your hands are more likely to be wet. You should always remove contact lenses before inserting or removing them.

5. Use high oxygenation lenses

Choose contact lenses that allow for the maximum amount of oxygen transmission possible. Silicone hydrogel lenses are perfect for summer, as are OpticVue's HighOxygen Monthly lenses.

Final Conclusion

With simple actions you can prevent inconveniences and enjoy a summer with ideal vision.
