what is the most recommended contact lens for allergic eyes?

Question

How long can you wear contact lens without hurting your eyes?

Answer 1

Solution not lens: Generally, we see that patients who have contact lens allergies are sensitive not to the lens but to the disinfection solutions. We usually attempt to transition patients to a hydrogen peroxide system and if necessary to daily disposables. Addressing environmental allergens is very important as well.

Answer 2

Depends: If the allergy is to something in the environment, than most soft lenses are fine. If the allergy is to the contact lense, then you might ask your ophthalmologist to recommend a gas permeable lens or perhaps a daily wear soft lens.

Answer 3

Well...: Good is a relative thing. As long as you are not allergic to the material contacts are made of, and you take appropriate measures to clean and care for your lenses, contacts can be worn daily without concern. They are very, very safe.

Answer 4

Yes and no: Contact lenses certainly help you see better without having to wear glasses. But you must take care to clean your lenses regularly. And remember, the eye was not meant to have anything touching it. Over time, your eyes may become dry, irritated and develop allergies to the contacts. There is also a risk for severe eye infection if proper hygiene is not practiced.

Answer 5

All: All colors but esp green, hazel but i'm sure they'd all look good.

Answer 6

Many: Many colored contacts are nearly invisible on brown eyes, especially dark brown eyes. You can try on different colors to judge the effect during your contact lens fitting. Take a friend with you. It's fun!

Answer 7

This is a question: To ask your eye doctor who prescribed yoru contacts. Eventually you get used to putting them in.. And supressing blinking etc. There might be eye drops that can help.

Answer 8

Answer 9

Yes: Just get them dispensed by an eye doctor..Optometrist or ophthalmologist.
