Frequently Asked Questions:
Can anyone wear contact lenses?
Use of modern lens materials and technology coupled with improvements in lens designs means the vast majority of people can successfully wear contact lenses.
You’re less likely to have success with contact lenses than someone who does not have this condition. This does not mean that you cannot wear contact lenses at all. It simply means you may have a shorter contact lens wearing period than normal or that you may choose to wear your lenses only occasionally. You can increase the comfort of your lenses by inserting eye lubrication drops.
As always, it is best to consult your eye care practitioner for the best advice regarding whether you should wear contact lenses and what type of lenses may be suitable. Optometrists can carry out tests to find out if you have dry eye problems.
Is it OK to swim while wearing contact lenses? Only if you’re wearing goggles with a firm seal. If you don’t wear goggles, the contact lenses may float from your eyes and/or they will absorb the pool water, one consequence of which may be that they adhere quite firmly to the eye. If this occurs, it is advisable to leave the lenses alone for 10-15 minutes until the water in them has been replaced by natural tears before trying to remove them. Exposing your contacts to pool water also places you at risk of discomfort due to chlorine and infection from bacteria or other micro organisms.
Can my contact lens be "lost" behind my eye? No, a thin, but part of the eye. Lenses cannot pass through it.
However, your contact lenses may slide under your eyelids or become displaced. If this occurs, try looking in the direction of the lens to get it to move back to the correct position. If you wear soft contact lenses, they will tend to centre automatically on the cornea. If you wear rigid gas permeable lenses, you may need to manipulate a displaced lens through the eyelid.strong, membrane, called the conjunctiva, lines the inside of your eyelids and curls back on itself to cover the white
Can children wear contact lenses? Yes they can! Today’s high quality lenses are suitable for young and old eyes alike.
In fact teenagers are usually highly motivated and prove to be ideal candidates for contact lens wear.
The full procedure is detailed below: Wash your hands with a mild soap, rinse completely and dry with a lint-free towel. A wet finger may cause a soft lens to flatten. Avoid using fingernails to handle your lenses. If you’re working near a sink, close the drain. Get in the habit of always working with the right lens first to avoid mix-ups. Pour the lens and storage fluid from the case into your palm. Inspect the lens for particles, deposits or tears. Place the lens, cup side up, on your dry forefinger. Determine if the lens is right side out. If it is right side out, the lens’ edge will appear almost straight up. If inside-out, the edges will flare out slightly. Another test is to place the lens on a crack in the palm of your hand and then cup the hand slightly. This will flex the lens. If the edge of the lens curls inwards, it is the correct way out; if the edge curls outwards and wraps onto the palm of the hand, it is inside out. If it is inside out, reverse it. Insert. Hold the upper lashes (or lids) to prevent blinking. Pull the bottom eyelid down using your middle finger. Look up so the white part of your eye shows. Place the lens onto the exposed white part of your eye. Or, instead of looking up, look straight ahead at the lens and gently place it in the centre of your eye. Remove your finger and let go of the lids, bottom lid first, and then top. Look downward to help position the lens, then close your eyes momentarily. Apply one or two drops of lens lubricant (eye drops) if your lenses feel dry or if blurry vision occurs during wear. Follow the same steps to insert the other lens Finally - keep at it, most people succeed eventually! The first two weeks are the worst ;-)
What is the procedure for removing contact lenses?
Step 1:
Make sure the lens is centred on your eye before trying to remove it.
Cover the other eye; if your vision is blurred, the lens is either off centre or not on the eye at all. Locate the lens with a mirror and re-centre it.
Step 2 - Pull Down Lower Eyelid
Look upward, keeping your head level. Pull down the lower lid of your eye with your middle finger.
Step 3 - Slide Lens Down
While looking up, place the tip of your index finger on the lower edge of the lens and slide it down onto the lower white part of your eye.
Step 4 - Pull Lens Off Eye
Still looking up, squeeze the lens gently between your thumb and index finger. Gently remove the lens from the eye.
Persevere - it gets easier after a few tries. If your eye is going red through trying then have a break for an hour and try again.
Repeat for the left lens
Why use sterile saline and not tap water? There is increasing risk of microbial contamination from tap water, particularly a tough organism named "acanamoeba" which can survive even chlorinated tap water, and although rare, a devastating eye infection.
