Dryness is not confined to winter only. It is more troublesome
in blazing summer where the harmful UV rays rip your hair & your facial
tissues of its moisture. Not only do the scorching sun burn your body &
hair but eyes also. Next to the eyelashes, there is a duct that is supposed to
secret thin oil layer over your tear film to prevent it from drying too
quickly. In summer, when the tear film is disturbed; eyes turn dry, red or show
other signs of inflammation. Wearing contact lenses during eye dryness
aggravates the inflammation & an excruciating pain is felt.
The thin protective oil layer along with the tear film helps
swift blinking and clear vision. Therefore, when the chemistry is disturbed,
eyes turn dry making it impossible for the contact lenses to float smoothly
over your eye balls. When contact lenses are inserted in dry eyes; they may
induce a stinging or burning sensation which can be relieved by the use of
pharmacy eye drops. Keeping eyes moist in summer should be religiously
practiced.
Contact lenses slightly disturb the tear film and contact
lenses with high water content turn eyes dry quickly. Using eye drops with
contact lenses is crucial to maintain the moisture level in eyes. Contact
lenses also demote oxygen transmission this is why eyes become dry. In summer,
contact lens associated problems turn severe as the UV rays do the deteriorating
job. Therefore, one must be very careful about ocular care in summer. Contact lenses are usually not a problem; but if something troubles you, you must avoid
it until you get back to your perfect health.
