Avoid lenses if you...


Before trying out colured lenses, make sure you:

  • Have enough tear secretion (liquid released from the tear gland, which helps keep the eye moist. In conditions like glaucoma, the tear glands are unable to secrete tears).
  • Are not prone to eye infections like conjunctivitis.
  • Do not have a prior scar or damage to the cornea.
  • Do not have a completely outdoor job that exposes you to dust and pollution.
  • Do not work in a factory that has gas fumes or other eye irritants.

    A word of caution

    Opticians warn against the following:

    ~ Using other people's lenses.
    ~ Stretching the use of your lenses beyond the stipulated period.
    ~ Not maintaining hygiene of your lenses.
    ~ Using them for prolonged periods without giving your eyes a rest.
