Colored Eye Contacts Rules for People with Dry Eyes
Feb 06,2023 | MYEYEBB
Colored contacts are a fun and easy way to change your eye color. They're also a great way to cover up natural eye discoloration, like freckles and hazel eyes. But colored eye contacts aren't just for people who want to look good. People with dry eyes can also benefit from wearing them—with some precautions.

Why do people with dry eyes need special colored eye contacts?
If you have dry eyes, then wearing colored eye contacts can be a great way to feel more confident and look younger. Colored lenses can help improve your vision as well, since they are made out of high quality materials that allow light to pass through them easily. The color pigments used in these lenses are also designed to be more comfortable than regular contact lenses, so they won't cause any irritation or burning sensation when worn over long periods of time.
There are several reasons why people with dry eye conditions should consider using colored eye contacts instead of their regular ones:
-Colored contact lenses will help you feel more confident and look younger. -They can improve your vision by correcting any refractive error that you may have. -The color pigments used in these lenses are designed to be more comfortable than regular ones so they won't cause irritation or burning sensation when worn over long periods of time.
Choose daily wear lenses, not extended wear lenses.
Daily wear contact lenses are easier to remove and more comfortable than extended wear contacts. This means that they're less likely to cause irritation or corneal swelling, but it also means that you can easily take them out at night and put them back in the next morning. If your eyes are dry, this makes all the difference!
If you're wearing daily wear contact lenses, it's important to keep up with your eye doctor appointments so that they can check for any problems. If you're wearing extended wear contacts, it's still a good idea to get them checked out regularly.
Don't forget your eye drops.
A lot of people with dry eyes forget to bring eye drops. If you're going to be wearing colored eye contacts for an extended period of time, it's important that you keep your eyes moist by using eye drops regularly. Eye drops help protect the surface of your cornea from drying out and becoming irritated or infected. They also reduce the risk of corneal ulceration--a painful condition where the top layer of your cornea starts breaking down due to repeated contact with dry air (this is more common in people who wear contact lenses).
Be careful near the end of your prescription.
If you're near the end of your contact lens prescription and have been wearing them for several hours, it may be time to take them out. If you don't want to take your contacts out because they feel comfortable and are helping with dry eye symptoms, try using eye drops every hour or so as needed.
If you find yourself reaching for eye drops every few minutes throughout the day (or even worse--every five minutes), it's probably best to just stop using the contacts altogether until your next appointment with an optometrist or ophthalmologist.
Don't sleep in your contacts.
Sleeping in contact lenses can cause dry eye, which is dangerous for your eyes. The reason for this is that when you sleep, your eyelids do not blink as much as they normally would during the day. This causes excessive buildup of tears and makes it harder for them to lubricate properly. If you are going to sleep with your contacts on, make sure that they are the right type of lens (i.e., soft) so they don't damage your cornea while sleeping!
There are other ways that people can get a good night's rest besides wearing their contact lenses all night long--for example: sleeping masks and earplugs!
Colored contact lenses are safe for dry eyes with some precautions.
Colored contact lenses are not recommended for people with dry eyes. However, they can be safely used by people with dry eyes as long as they follow the rules.

Do not wear colored eye contacts on a daily basis. If you want to wear colored eye contacts, choose the ones that look natural and blend well with your natural eye color (e.g., grey or brown). This will help prevent strain and discomfort caused by wearing too much makeup or heavy eye shadow, which may lead to inflammation of the cornea due to increased exposure time under bright lights such as sunlight or indoor lighting.
If you are still interested in wearing colored eye contacts, choose the ones that have high oxygen permeability (OPC). The OPC rating is a number that indicates how well the lens lets oxygen pass through it. The higher this number is, the better because it means that your eyes will not be deprived of oxygen even when wearing contact lenses.
If you have dry eyes, don't worry. You can still wear colored eye contacts. Just remember to do your research and find the right product for your needs!
