Do you have some concerns about contact lenses? Do you fear something might go wrong? Don't worry, you're not alone. In fact, millions of people like you have overcome their fears about contact lenses and are now enjoying all the benefits of wearing them. The secret is to understand the myths and facts about contact lenses.
“Contact lenses are uncomfortable”
There are many different types of contact lenses and one of them surely will suit your needs. Today, contact lenses are extremely soft, thin, and flexible and more importantly maintain their moisture for improved comfort. The material and design used allow the lens to fit the unique shape of your eye and as they are replaced regularly, your lenses always feel clean, fresh and comfortable. In fact, contact lenses are so comfortable you won’t even notice that you are wearing them!
ACUVUE® Brand Contact Lenses family are manufactured using advanced technologies, thereby keeping the moisture element locked inside the lens leading to end of day comfort.
“I can’t wear contact lenses if I have astigmatism”
In the past, contact lenses for astigmatic correction were not available in all materials – but innovations in the last few years have changed this. Astigmatism is no longer a barrier to wearing contact lenses. Thanks to the Accelerated Stabilisation DesignTM technology available in ACUVUE® Brand Contact Lenses for astigmatism which helps to align your contact lens every time you blink. Now you can enjoy all the freedom that astigmatic contact lenses can give you.
"It will get stuck in my eye!"
Well, you must know that you're not sticking a lens into your eye. Rather, you're placing it onto your eye. Yes, it's a very delicate process, but contact lenses are designed in a way to make it easy to insert and remove. In fact, you barely even touch your eye.
"What if it gets lost behind my eye?"
It’s physically impossible to lose a contact lens “behind” your eye. A thin membrane known as the conjunctiva covers your eye, preventing anything from getting behind your eye, including a contact lens.
"Contact lenses lead to infections?"
If proper care routines are followed, the risk of eye infections is minimal. Always wash your hands thoroughly before touching your contact lenses and follow the lens care advice of your eye care practitioner. For information on how to handle your contact lenses click here.
"I've heard they could pop right out!”
Properly fitted contact lenses should stay in place. In the rare event that a lens moves out of place, it will stay on your eye. Blinking a few times should move it back into position. Otherwise, wash your hands and gently massage your eyelid or move the lens with your finger. Simple!
"It's just too difficult to put them on and take them off"
Like anything in life, this takes a bit of practice. But believe it or not, you'll surprise yourself with how quickly you can adapt to inserting and removing your contact lenses. If you need a helping hand, click here for more information.
