Though staining in circle lenses is not common; it is
nothing unusual. Everything weathers and so do circle lenses. There are several
factors that contribute to contact lens discoloration. However, contact lens ‘fading’
is often associated with over-wearing them i.e. wearing them past the expiry. Discoloration
in circle lenses indicate the chances of them being fake or substandard.
Contrarily, if you notice staining in circle
lenses that are genuine & unexpired; you would want to check on the
following notes
FDA approved Korean originated circle lenses are
manufactured through sandwich printing. This advance technology keeps the hue
intact between two layers. Thus, prevents bleeding of the dye in the lens that
make circle lenses safe to wear. Discoloration that happens due to wearing them
past their expiry is not a fault on manufacturer. However, your concerns are
justified when you notice staining in your contacts that you still can wear for
months as per the expiry date.
Often times staining occur due to the contamination. Circle
lenses turning pink, reddish brown or yellow is often an indication of improper
cleaning and contamination with makeup. Some medications such as vitamins,
improper & non-compliant eye drops/contact lens solution & smoking may
also cause discoloration in circle contacts. To help prevent staining/fading stick
to timely replacement & meticulous disinfection.
To reduce chances of contamination with makeup, avoid using
lash-building fiber mascaras with contact lenses. Always remove contact lenses
before removing eye makeup because some makeup wipes can react to the dyes used
in circle lenses. Avoid using mineral or powdered form of makeup that may get
into eyes and adhere to micro grooves found on the surface of contacts.
Minor discoloration that is temporary should go away after cleansing
them pragmatically. If the staining persists or affected circle lenses irritate;
toss them off immediately, rinse your eyes and seek medical help if necessary.
