When do I need to wear contact lenses?

In today's society, more and more people choose to use contact lenses to correct vision problems or improve their appearance. However, not everyone is suitable for wearing contact lenses, so it is necessary to decide whether to wear contact lenses according to personal circumstances. The following will introduce the conditions suitable for wearing contact lenses under several circumstances.

Myopia or hyperopia

Myopia and hyperopia are the most common vision problems, and many people will begin to develop in their adolescence. For people with myopia or hyperopia, wearing contact lenses is a convenient and effective way to correct vision problems. Compared with ordinary glasses, contact lenses provide a more natural and comfortable visual experience, allowing people to carry out various activities more freely.

For people with myopia or hyperopia, the choice of wearing contact lenses depends on the degree of vision problems. For mild myopia or hyperopia, you can choose to wear soft contact lenses on a daily basis. For more serious vision problems, rigid contact lenses may be a better choice, because they can better correct vision problems.

Corneal abnormality

In some cases of corneal abnormalities, wearing contact lenses can provide additional protection and comfort. For example, problems such as corneal collapse or corneal deformation can be alleviated by selecting appropriate contact lenses. Contact lenses can help distribute the pressure on the corneal surface evenly, improve vision and relieve pain.

In addition, some people may suffer from dry eye or other eye diseases, which will make them more sensitive to the touch of the legs or lenses of ordinary glasses. In this case, contact lenses can provide greater comfort and visual clarity to reduce discomfort.

After vision correction surgery

Some people will get rid of glasses or contact lenses through vision correction surgery, but in the recovery period after surgery, they may need to wear contact lenses to speed up vision recovery. Patients after vision correction surgery may feel dry, sensitive or blurred eyes. These discomfort can be alleviated by wearing suitable contact lenses.

Wearing contact lenses can also help patients gradually adapt to visual changes after surgery. As the vision may gradually recover after surgery, contact lenses provide a progressive correction method that can allow patients to gradually adapt to the new visual state.

Summary

For people with myopia or hyperopia, corneal abnormalities and vision correction surgery, wearing contact lenses is a suitable solution. Contact lenses can provide a more natural and comfortable visual experience, help improve vision problems, and provide additional protection and comfort. However, everyone's eye conditions are different, so when deciding whether to wear contact lenses, it is recommended to consult a professional ophthalmologist to ensure that you choose the type of glasses that suits you.
