A designer-colored contact lens for astigmatism can be a godsend for those who want to change their eye color. But before you buy colored contacts, make sure that you read this article! There are three things that you should know about these lenses before making your purchase.
Low Light Conditions
Colored contacts won’t work well if you’re in a low-light situation. If you are planning to wear colored contacts at night, you should go for those made explicitly for nighttime use. You can tell the difference because they will be labeled “nightwear” or “extended wear.”
Dry Eyes
If you have dry eyes, colored contacts might not work very well. You should make sure that they are made of a water-based material because they will be more comfortable and permeable to oxygen. These won’t fit as tightly, and wearing them for too long can cause eye irritation.
Irritation
Yes, colored contacts can irritate if you wear them for too long. If your eyes are red and irritated after wearing them, then the first thing that you should do is take them out! You may be sensitive to specific contact lens solutions or materials, so switching brands might be necessary.
Wearing colored contacts with astigmatism is possible, but you should keep the above in mind to ensure that your colored contacts don’t hurt or irritate your eyes.
