Do you have a weak eyesight? In order to avoid wearing spectacles you opt for contact lenses. So if you are one among those who wear contact lenses then you need to avoid certain mistakes that can cause eye infections.
When we go in for contact lenses, most of us are in a dilemma as to whether contact lenses are safe or not.

Also, there are the trendy coloured contact lenses like blue, green and brown that people wear just for the sake of style. Whatever be the purpose, one needs to be cautious while using contact lenses.
But how long can one wear contact lenses and what are the ways to clean these contact lenses? Only if they are worn in the correct way, will they prove to be beneficial.
So, here are a few of the common mistakes most of us make with contact lenses that need to be avoided. Take a look.
1. Avoid Wearing Contact Lenses For Long:
Long hours of wearing contact lenses (more than 10-12 hours) can be harmful. It prevents the oxygen from reaching the corneas, thus making it more vulnerable for the germs to survive. Removing the contact lenses from time to time helps.
2. Avoid Touching Contact Lenses With Unclean Hands:
It is best to avoid touching the contact lenses with unclean hands as the dust and the microbes present can cause infection. Hence, it is always better to clean the hands before touching the contact lenses.
3. Never Sleep With Contact Lenses:
You should never sleep with your contact lenses on as this can not just cause discomfort but can also cause infections as the cornea fails to receive the required amount of oxygen when you are wearing the contact lenses.
4. Do Not Wear Contact Lenses While In Water:
A lot of bacteria thrive in water. Hence it is better to avoid wearing contact lenses while you are in the water, like swimming for example. These bacteria can cause infections and at times can also lead to loss of vision.
5. Never Clean Contact Lenses With Tap Water:
Never make the mistake of cleaning contact lenses with running tap water. However clean the water might be, it might still contain a bit of bacteria that can cause infection.
6. Avoid Wearing Contact Lenses If It Hurts:
When you wear contact lenses, if it hurts or you are not comfortable then you should immediately stop wearing them. It might affect the corneas and cause infection too.
7. Eye Check-ups:
Only after a proper eye check-up you should wear the contact lenses. If you get any kind of burning sensation, pain or redness in the eyes following the use of contact lenses then you should get it checked immediately. This might lead to vision loss if not taken care of on time.
