People in San Diego who have never worn contact lenses before probably have a lot of questions about them, and they also probably have heard a lot of different rumors and tales about them as well. Here are some of the most common myths, stories, and tall tales that go along with contact lenses for those in San Diego who want to set the record straight.
#1: Getting the lenses to stay in my eyes is too hard. First of all, it does take a little practice at first, but your optician will make sure that you are ready to put them in before they prescribe contact lenses to you. Most people find that after just a little while, putting them in becomes a very quick habit that is simple.
#2: People in San Diego have said that contact lenses fall out and get lost a lot. Even though this could happen, it is highly unlikely. Sure, weve seen it plenty of times in movies and in TV shows, but the truth is that it is a rare occurrence. If your lenses have been properly fitted, there really isnt much chance that they will fall out, so relax.
#3: Next up is the myth that contact lenses could become stuck to your eye and grow as part of it (or something similarly creative). They are designed specifically to not stick to your eye. The most common time that people have trouble taking out the eyewear is when the contacts have been left in too long and have dried out. Adding a couple of drops of solution can easily and quickly lubricate the lenses.
#4: Believe it or not, a lot of people in San Diego are afraid that their contact lenses will get lost inside or behind their eyes. The thing about it is that a thin membrane stretches between the eyelids and covers the eye, and the lenses sit in front of this membrane, which is enough to prevent them from slipping behind the eye.
#5: Contacts cause eye infections not! If you wash your hands and follow the guidelines from your doctor and the manufacturer, they will not cause infections. What will give you an infection is touching your eyes with germ filled hands. There is a very low risk of infection, but be sure that you have an examination with your optician for contact lenses in San Diego once a year at least.
