Certain types of medications lay adverse effects on colored
contact lens tolerance. It has been observed that people on birth control pills
may notice an inability of wearing them or blurred/ hazy vision. The birth
control pills do pose risk of side-effects including decreasing the colored contact lens tolerance.
It is an understood fact that before beginning with any type
of eye medication you must remove colored contact lenses from eyes. You should
even be
very careful whilst instilling eye drops when you are wearing colored
contact lenses because eye drops that are not meant to be used in relation with
colored contact lenses promote protein build-up on the surface of contact
lenses.
Birth Control Pills,
Anti-Allergenic& Colored Contact Lenses
Before introducing any type of medicine in your diet it is
recommended to give a thorough read to the pamphlet that comes with the
medicine. The precautions on the leaflet mention in clear words if the
ingredients have any side-effects in correlation to wearing colored contact
lenses.
Oral contraceptive pills boost up estrogen production which
reduces the tear production thus making women’s eyes more sensitive to colored
contact lenses and prone to drying. Anti-allergic pills may also turn eyes
drier in some cases. Acne medications can sometime also produce itchy
sensation, dryness and tingling in eyes which makes it difficult to wear
colored contact lenses.
If you are frequent user of colored contact lenses and are
on certain type of medications for a small duration; keep your ophthalmologist
informed about the vision changes and any type of increased sensitivity to
eyes. Medicines do affect contact lens wear negatively and if you are irritant
to any of the ingredients you must give a pause to wearing colored contact lenses until the
medication is over.
