Circle contact lenses can be worn every day. However care
should be taken that the total wearing duration should not exceed more than 6-8
hours each day. If you are a beginner; you must not wear lenses for more than
2-4 hours first day. Gradually increase the duration of wearing circle lenses
as your eyes get
used to wearing circle contact lenses.
Factors to Consider
for Safe Wear of Circle Lenses
Following factors play an important role in determining
whether or not it is safe to wear big eye lenses on daily basis.
- The supplier of
circle lenses: If your big eye lenses are being supplied by an unauthorized
dealer/agent your eyes are at risk. Always buy your circle contact lenses from
authentic stores or local shops. Do take note of their experience and the
brands they are working with. Check all the labels. If you cannot understand
the instructions printed on the label; do not hurt your eyes wearing them. Also
avoid buying circle lenses from Chinese manufacturers.
- Opaque Circle Lenses:
Opaque circle lenses or circle lenses with bigger diameters (those above
16mm) cover your eyes and mask your original eye color which does not let your
eyes breathe properly. Therefore; it is recommended to not to wear such lenses
for longer durations of time every day.
- Your Work Routine:
If you spend most of your time working on a computer or on multi-media; you
should always keep the fact in mind that waves from such electronic devices may
hurt your eyes whilst you are wearing circle lenses. Being exposed to heavy
flood-lights may also cause a feeling
of discomfort with circle lenses. Therefore; if you are a model or someone
needed to stay in bright lights must adjust the duration of wearing circle
lenses as per your work routine.
- Personal Requirements/Sensitivities:
People with dry-eyes syndrome or people who have sensitive eyes might react
awkwardly to wearing circle lenses every day. If you are not fully satisfied
with how your eyes feel and react while wearing circle lenses; it is better to
avoid putting them in on regular basis. You have to work out yourself to
prepare a healthy regimen for your eyes.
There should always be an interval observed in wearing
circle lenses. Eyes need to breathe which is not fully
possible when you have your contacts on. Always remove them before going to
bed; even avoid taking
nap with circle lenses. As a rule of thumb you can wear circle lenses daily
for maximum 6 hours only.
