Summer with contact lenses: your daily habits to protect your eyes without problems 🌊👁️

Summer changes our rhythm. We sleep differently, we spend more time outside our homes, we use more screens (even during vacations), and our self-care routine can change... even that of our eyes.

If you wear glasses, summer shouldn't be an obstacle. You just need a simple routine that suits you and helps you keep your vision clear, comfortable, and healthy every day.

Start the day with a cleansing start

Before handling your contact lenses, wash your hands thoroughly. It seems essential, but in summer we sweat more, we encounter different surfaces (beach, transportation, etc.), and it's easy to ignore this step. Cleanliness is your first defense against eye infections.

Your eyes need hydration just like your skin

Do you use sunscreen or moisturizer during the summer? Your eyes feel it too. If you experience dryness or discomfort, you can use synthetic eye drops that are compatible with glasses. They promote all-day comfort, especially if you use air conditioning or spend long periods in the sun.

Avoid extreme environments

Severe temperature fluctuations, dry wind, steam... During the summer, we are more vulnerable to situations that can cause eye irritation. If possible, protect them with sunglasses or avoid direct contact with powerful fans and air sources.

Regulates the hours of use

We tend to be busier during vacations, but this doesn't mean we should extend the use of contact lenses longer than usual. Always follow the recommendations: avoid going to bed with them and remove them when you touch them. HydroPlus Daily Lenses are perfect if you want to forget about liquids and cases.

Always have a backup plan

A small case with your contact lens solution (if you use monthly lenses), a portable mirror, or a pair of spare glasses can relieve many a stressful situation. It doesn't take up much space... and it can save your day if your contact lens moves or if you get sand in it.
