The most exciting part of
the summer that keep each one of us enthralled is “Beach”. Though beach is all
about fun, joy & boisterous entertainment; it does risk your skin and eyes.
Sunblock can be slathered on skin as a protection from UV damaging rays but how
to protect eyes? Remember; wearers of colored contact lenses are to observer greater risks whilst surfing
at beach.
How to Prevent Eye Inflammation when Wearing
Colored Contact Lenses at Beach?
According to a survey;
majority of the people wearing colored contact lenses are negligent about
proper care & maintenance of colored contact lenses. When you are wearing colored contact lenses;
you need to be very careful about the protection of your eyes. Preventing them
from water-borne & air-borne diseases should be your first priority. Since
colored contact lenses are approved medical devices than cosmetic accessories;
there is a strong urge felt for the protective measurements.
Be careful Before Engaging yourself at
Beach-Side Sports
Beach side sport
activities such as water-skiing, diving, surfing etc. are all a part of an
exuberant holiday picnic. If you wear colored contact lenses it is better to
put them off before getting wild into any water-related activity. Contact with
water means higher risks of contamination to eyes specially when wearing
colored contact lenses. No type of water whether tap or from a natural
reservoir should ever come into contact with colored contact lenses. Water
contain a virus “acanthamoeba” that spreads a rare eye inflammation
“Keratitis”. This vision-threatening amoeba devours the cornea & lead to
permanent vision-loss.

Playing Safe with Colored Contact Lenses
If colored contact lenses
cannot be avoided due to strong prescription, doctors advise to use daily
disposable colored contact lenses. Wearing goggles or wraparound sunglasses to
prevent eyes from splashes is also an ingenious idea.
Wraparound sun glasses are
also recommended when playing ball games. This also prevents any sand particles
from getting into your eyes when wearing colored contact lenses. Such glasses
also protect eyes from UV rays.
Be careful when Applying Sun Screen
Applying sunscreen is 100%
recommended when at beach. Be careful & warned though. The cream must not
get into eyes-because its contents can get accumulated on the surface of
colored contact lenses which may result in eye inflammations, itching &
irritated eyes.
Colored contact lenses
ensure crisp vision & beautiful eyes. They only demand you to show some
concern towards your eyes. Being
beautiful is not a child’s play as some call it.
