What You Need To Know When Transitioning From Glasses To Contact Lenses
Transitioning from glasses to contact lenses can be an exciting prospect.
While many people love glasses and feel they add an extra something to their style and personality, they’re not without their shortcomings.
Glasses can easily get broken or lost, and they can be pretty inconvenient when playing sports and engaging in similar high-octane activities.
If this feels like you, then you’ll likely never look back.
Even with that being the case, though, there’s still a learning curb; contact lenses are indeed more convenient, but there’s still plenty to get used to.
For one, you’ll need to be much more careful with your personal hygiene.
You’ll need to make sure you wash your hands thoroughly, with warm water and soap, before handling your contacts, for example (you don’t want any harmful bacteria getting into your eyes).
When you first get your contacts, you’ll also need to give yourself a few days to adjust.
You may experience some slight eye strain at first, but this is normal – it’s simply your eyes getting used to focusing differently.
It’s also key to remember to take them out.
Contact lenses can be worn for 8 to 16 hours depending on the type, so you may need to set yourself a timer for the first couple of weeks.
And then, there’s actually putting them in, which is something a lot of first-timers worry about.
Thankfully, it’s much simpler than you likely realise.
