Colored contact lenses can affect eye health in several ways, including possible infections from low-quality lenses, rubbing between the lens and the cornea, and poor oxygen flow.
The FDA classifies all contact lenses as medical devices. Therefore, the first step in buying cosmetic contact lenses is to check whether they are FDA-approved. Some sellers may use cheap materials or make lenses in dirty conditions to save costs. Wearing these lenses can lead to keratitis, an eye infection that, if not treated quickly, can cause permanent loss of vision.
In addition to the risks associated with unapproved products, contact lenses also have built-in issues. Most contact lenses are not specifically designed for the eyes. Wearing lenses that do not fit well can rub the cornea, causing irritation, scratches, or even corneal ulcers. Therefore, choosing the right lens is crucial.
Another factor is the oxygen flow. Low oxygen levels can irritate or damage the eyes. Different lens materials allow different amounts of oxygen to reach the eyes.
Hydrogel lenses use their water content to deliver oxygen to the cornea. They are usually comfortable for short-term wear, but wearing them for a long time can dry the eyes because they lose water over time.
Silicone hydrogel lenses function differently. The silicone makes a direct path for oxygen to pass through the lens instead of relying mostly on water, They offer excellent moisture retention and do not absorb moisture from the eye.
However, this may be uncomfortable for some individuals. Those with very sensitive eyes may experience slight discomfort from the silicone itself.
