How to choose suitable contact lenses
Contact lenses have become a common way for modern people to correct their eyesight. However, for those who use contact lenses for the first time, it is a challenge to choose the contact lenses that are suitable for them. This article will introduce the suggestions of Wuhan Huaxia Eye Hospital for choosing contact lenses to help people better understand how to choose the contact lenses that are suitable for them.
1. Vision examination
Before choosing contact lenses, the first step is to have a vision check. Vision examination can determine your myopia degree, astigmatism degree, corneal curvature and other parameters, which will help ophthalmologists recommend the most appropriate contact lens type for you.
Visual examination includes optometry and corneal topography. Optometry will measure your hyperopia and myopia, as well as astigmatism. The corneal topography test will measure your corneal curvature to determine whether it is suitable to use hard contact lenses.
In Wuhan Huaxia Eye Hospital, we are equipped with the most advanced vision inspection equipment to ensure that your vision is accurately evaluated and give the most accurate contact lens recommendations.
2. Contact lens type
According to your vision examination results, the ophthalmologist will recommend different types of contact lenses for you. Common contact lens types include soft contact lenses, hard contact lenses and corneal shaping lenses.
Soft contact lenses are made of soft materials and are suitable for daily wear. They are usually more comfortable and suitable for people with myopia, hyperopia and mild astigmatism. Hard contact lenses are made of hard materials, which can better correct special eye problems, such as high astigmatism and corneal abnormalities.
Corneal shaping lens is a special type of contact lens that can be worn at night and removed during the day to correct vision by changing the shape of the cornea. This is an ideal choice for people who want to wear no glasses or contact lenses during the day.
3. Contact lens brand
Before choosing contact lenses, it is also important to know about different brands of contact lenses. Contact lenses of different brands may have different oxygen permeability, water content, comfort and other characteristics.
In Wuhan Huaxia Eye Hospital, we recommend to choose contact lenses of well-known brands, such as Bausch&Lomb, Johnson&Johnson, etc. After strict quality inspection and clinical trials, these brands of contact lenses can provide better comfort and vision correction effects.
At the same time, we recommend that you visit the ophthalmologist regularly to check the applicability and adjustment of glasses. This will help ensure that your contact lenses always have a good vision correction effect.
4. Use and maintenance
The correct use and maintenance of contact lenses is also the key to ensure their normal use and prolong their life. Before wearing contact lenses, be sure to keep your hands clean, and use appropriate disinfectant to clean the contact lens case and contact lenses.
Pay attention to the safety wearing time, and do not exceed the service life. Replace contact lens case and disinfectant regularly to ensure cleanness and safety. Any discomfort or visual changes should be immediately stopped using contact lenses, and consult an ophthalmologist for advice.
Before choosing contact lenses, it is very important to fully understand your eye conditions and consult a professional ophthalmologist. You can have a comfortable, safe and effective vision correction method by conducting a comprehensive vision inspection, selecting the appropriate contact lens type and brand according to the recommendations, and using and maintaining them correctly.
Summary

Secondly, choose the appropriate contact lens type and brand according to the advice of the ophthalmologist. Regular return visits to ophthalmologists are important to ensure the applicability of contact lenses.
