Wearing contact lenses can be a game-changer for your vision and lifestyle — but discomfort can quickly put a damper on the experience. At VisualEyes Optometrists, we want every lens wearer to enjoy clear vision without irritation or dryness.
If you’ve ever struggled with uncomfortable lenses, here are our top tips to help keep your eyes feeling fresh and comfortable all day long.
Proper hygiene is key to comfort and eye health. Always wash your hands before handling lenses, use the recommended cleaning solution, and replace your lens case regularly to avoid bacterial buildup.
Follow the wear schedule prescribed by your eye doctor. Wearing lenses longer than recommended can reduce oxygen flow to your eyes, causing dryness, redness, and irritation.
If your eyes feel dry or tired during the day, preservative-free lubricating drops designed for contact lens wearers can provide much-needed moisture and relief.
Digital eye strain can make lens discomfort worse. Follow the 20-20-20 rule: every 20 minutes, look at something 20 feet away for 20 seconds to reduce eye fatigue.
Drinking plenty of water and eating foods rich in omega-3 fatty acids can improve tear quality and help keep your eyes naturally moist.
Routine check-ups allow your optometrist to monitor your eye health, update your prescription, and recommend lens types or care routines that best suit your eyes.
At VisualEyes Optometrists, your comfort and eye health are our top priorities. If you’re experiencing persistent discomfort with your contacts, don’t hesitate to schedule an appointment. We’re here to help you see clearly—and comfortably.
