Q - I often find solutions cheaper than the ones my doctor recommended, is it ok to switch? A - If you are currently using an all-purpose solution system and you want to switch, itıs important that you choose another one that is also an all-purpose solution. Otherwise, your lenses may not be getting properly cleaned and disinfected, which could lead to decreased comfort, or even worse, a serious infection. Please be careful. If you put some disinfectants directly into the eye, they will cause severe burning. If you have any doubts, call your doctorıs office to ask if the solution is one thatıs recommended. .................................. Q - Sometimes my eyes get red and irritated, but I keep wearing my contacts unless itıs really bad. Is that ok since I donıt have a backup pair of glasses? A - More contact lens patients get into trouble because they continue to wear their lenses, even when they are uncomfortable and they know they shouldnıt, simple because they feel they donıt have an alternative. Get a pair of backup glasses and give your eyes a break when they need it. .................................. Q - I know my doctor told to replace them every month, but I usually wear them until they bother me.I wear 30 day lenses, and often keep them in for 2 or even 3 months. If I donıt have a problem, is this okay? A - Wearing your lenses too long, especially overnight, puts you at the highest risk for the most severe type of infection, a pseudomonas aeruginosa corneal ulcer. Unfortunately, you can get scarring as a result of this infection that may permanently impair your vision. Try to follow your recommended wearing schedule. The idea of using frequent replacement contact lenses is to discard the lenses before they give you any problems. |
