Follow on Google News | Contact Lens Advice to Help You Avoid Hay Fever EyesWhilst the warm summer weather is a welcome relief for most of us, it can be a nightmare for contact lens wearers who suffer from seasonal allergic conjunctivitis (or hay fever eyes).
By: 20-20 Optical Store Hay fever eyes are caused by an allergic reaction to tree and grass pollen that builds up during the warmer months. It causes misery for those affected making their eyes itchy, red and sore. The 20-20 Optical Store, London’s award winning optician, has put together the following guidelines to help contact lens wearers who suffer from this miserable summer ‘disease’. 1. Try not to wear your contact lenses while gardening to prevent pollen from getting into your eyes. 2. You might want to think about using lubricating eye drops (remember to seek professional advice before buying drops or other medication). 3. On days when the pollen count is very high, try wearing glasses instead of your lenses. 4. Think about cutting down the amount of time that you wear your lenses each day. 5. Never remove your contact lenses and rinse them under the tap to try and remove dust or pollen from them. 6. Avoid sunbathing in your lenses and make sure that you don’t get any suntan lotion on them. 7. Stop wearing your contacts if your eyes get sore. Website: www.20-20.co.uk End
