A contact lens wearer with a pragmatic
approach towards contact lenses is always meticulous about the care &
maintenance of circle contact lenses. Circle contact lenses does not only
demand you to be very punctual in the cleansing regime but it also asks you to
be very concerned and warned when wearing circle contact
lenses in certain environments- Salons be one of them.
Dangers of Wearing Circle Contact Lenses in Salon:
Wearing circle contact lenses in Salon
is never risk free. The Salon’s atmosphere is inviting to aerosols, sprays, and
other air borne chemicals which can pass through the contact lenses and may
adhere to your eyes.
These chemical irritants can sometimes embed
onto the cornea causing scratches. A sudden urge of rubbing eyes is also
escalated when any external agent comes into contact with your eyes; this
aggravates the already deteriorating condition leading to potential hazards.
What Havoc Can Wearing Circle Contact Lenses in Salons bring?
Soft Circle contact lenses are the most
used type of contact lenses. They are gas permeable circle lenses; this is why
they let other gases pass through too such as butyl acetate, toluene, and
acetone. These gases are not cleaned away by natural washing process of eyes
through tears.
“The eyes have to be
protected from splashes, flying clippings, and other debris,” says Doug Schoon,
chief scientific adviser for CND.
“There is a tendency for
these materials to associate chemically,” says Nellie Brown, director of
Workplace Health & Safety Programs at Cornell University. “It’s just
chemical nature.”
Furthermore; sensitive eyes may also be
affected by the heat coming out from the hair-dryer. The heat from the hair-dryer
is though too mild to pose serious threats; you should still be very cautious
if you have sensitive eyes. Ironing & blow-drying should always be done
before you wear circle contact lenses.
