How to choose suitable contact lenses?
The demand of modern people for contact lenses is getting higher and higher, followed by a dazzling variety of contact lens brands and types on the market. However, in order to protect our eye health, it is very important to choose suitable contact lenses. With the help of Dr. Wang Tao from the Department of Ophthalmology of Zhongshan Third Hospital in Guangzhou, we will elaborate on how to select suitable contact lenses from four aspects.
1. Eye health
Before choosing contact lenses, we should first understand our eye health. If there is inflammation, dryness or allergy on the eye surface, it is recommended to treat these problems before wearing contact lenses. At the same time, go to the hospital for optometry and corneal topography examination to determine the appropriate contact lens type.
Secondly, we should choose suitable contact lenses according to our own living habits. If you often use the computer, you can choose anti blue light contact lenses; If you often participate in outdoor activities, you can choose anti ultraviolet contact lenses. Select the appropriate contact lens type according to your own needs and eye health.
Finally, be sure to follow the doctor's advice and wear time. Do not wear it for more than the recommended time to avoid unnecessary damage to eyes.
2. Contact lens type
There are many types of contact lenses, such as hard contact lenses, soft contact lenses, corneal shaping lenses, etc. Each contact lens has its own characteristics and is suitable for people. Generally speaking, hard contact lenses are suitable for people with corneal or vision problems, while soft contact lenses are suitable for most people.
In addition to the basic classification, contact lenses can also be selected according to the use cycle and care method. Daily throwing contact lenses are convenient and sanitary, but the cost is high; Monthly throwing contact lenses have a long service life, but need regular care; The seasonal and annual disposable contact lenses are between the two. Select the appropriate contact lens type according to your own needs and economic ability.
3. Contact lens brand and quality
There are many contact lens brands on the market, and each brand claims its own product is the best. In order to select the appropriate contact lens brand, we can refer to the doctor's suggestions, other consumers' comments and use feedback, as well as the product quality certification. Some well-known brands such as Bausch&Lomb, Johnson&Johnson and Haichang have good reputation in the market, which can be used as a reference for selection.
In addition, the quality of contact lenses is also very important. Unqualified contact lenses may cause damage to eyes, so it is necessary to choose certified and tested products. When purchasing contact lenses, ensure that they are purchased through formal channels to avoid fake and inferior products.
4. Daily care and inspection
After wearing contact lenses, daily care and regular inspection are very important. We should clean and care the contact lenses according to the doctor's advice to avoid bacteria breeding and infection. At the same time, go to the hospital for eye examination regularly to ensure the health of the eyes.
In conclusion, the selection of suitable contact lenses requires consideration of eye health, personal lifestyle, contact lens type, brand and quality, as well as daily care and inspection. Only by comprehensively considering these aspects can we choose the appropriate contact lenses to protect our eye health.
Dr. Wang Tao from the Ophthalmology Department of Zhongshan Third Hospital in Guangzhou reminded patients that they must consult their doctors before choosing contact lenses, and follow their doctors' advice and guidance. Only in this way can we safely use contact lenses and protect our eyesight and eye health.
