Can I wear contact lenses in the heat?
 Many of those who use this means of vision correction or just going to try it, ask this question. At our request, it said ophthalmologist, an assistant professor of ophthalmology institute training FMBA, MD Irina Antonovna Leshchenko.

Hot summer with high temperatures does not adversely affect the wearing of soft contact lenses. The human body maintains the temperature on the surface of the eye about 35 degrees Celsius and this figure is not changed by the external temperature. Therefore, if you choose a contact lens, you can use the lenses as usual even in very hot weather, without fear of any consequences.

For example, in countries with traditionally warm climates, such as Italy, Spain, Greece, United Arab Emirates and many others, where the annual air temperature in the shade in the summer rises above 40 degrees, the population is actively using contact lenses.

It should be noted that the contact lenses are the most preferred types of vision correction under heat at this time. Unlike spectacles lenses heat, glare, do not cause sweating and subsequent reaction of the skin around the eyes in the form of irritation and maceration. For these reasons, ophthalmologists recommend the use of lenses during holidays and vacation in the summer. But that's not all: all brand lens ACUVUE®   help protect the cornea and the inner part of the eye from harmful ultraviolet radiation by using a special UV filter. Do not forget that with these lenses must be worn and sunglasses, as they help to protect undisguised contact lens of the eye and eye area. Contact lenses provide freedom of choice: you can simultaneously wearing fashionable sunglasses and clearly see using the lenses.

With regard to improving air smoke from fires in some regions of our country, in this situation, contact lenses protect the eyes from smoke and dust. To harmful substances from accumulating on the lens in the form of deposits, ophthalmologists recommend the use of one-day contact lenses - for example, 1 • DAY   ACUVUE® TruEye®   by Johnson & Johnson. These lenses do not require any maintenance: in the morning you just put on a fresh pair of lenses, and in the evening shoot and throw them away.

It is also necessary to consider that in the summer in many offices and public areas are air-conditioned and fans, which make the air drier. If such areas your eyes feel uncomfortable, then you can solve this problem by using special moisturizing eye drops. And especially for those who want to feel comfortable throughout the day, it was created contact lenses ACUVUE® OASYS®   technology HYDRACLEAR® Plus   by Johnson & Johnson. These lenses keep your eyes moist, even in an unfavorable environment and give lasting comfort and clear vision.
