Removing contact lenses to many owners of long nails brings great discomfort. We will talk about how you can do this simply and quickly without adverse effects.
What is the best way to take pictures?
Many representatives of the beautiful half of humanity think that long nails are a contraindication for the use of contact lenses. However, it is not. Ladies with long nails, it is certainly possible to apply this method of vision correction.
However, in order not to damage the eyes, care must be taken when removing and putting on contact agents.
Contact lenses may vary. They not only differ in the source material used for their manufacture, but also in the length of the wearing period. Care for such vision-correcting products must be thorough. So, when using products intended for long-term use, special containers should be used. For one-day models, such containers are not required.
Soft
These vision-correcting products have appeared relatively recently. However, pretty quickly they became popular. Such products pass the air relatively well. Wearing such lenses usually does not cause discomfort if they were originally selected correctly. Caring for such products is quite simple. You can remove soft lenses for owners of long nails in several ways at once. One of them is pinch. It consists in sequentially carrying out the following tricks.
- The eyelids of the eye from which the lens is removed must be well moved apart. To do this, both fingers of one hand should be placed on the upper and lower eyelids.In this case, the fingers need to be positioned closer to the border of hair growth and eyelids slightly extended.
- “Pinch” to pull the lens from the cornea. Do this with the fingers of the other hand. The lens should not be removed with nails, but with the lateral surfaces of the distal phalanges of the fingers. At the same time, the lens “bends” in half and remains between the fingers. It is necessary to remove the product carefully to prevent damage to the delicate cornea of the eye.
An alternative way to remove a product that corrects visual acuity is to use special tweezers. Such a tool has soft edges. This method consists in spreading the eyelids with the fingers of one hand, and with the other hand, using such tweezers, gently pry the vision-correcting product from the eye. In the process of this, it changes its shape, and then independently “falls out”.
Another way to remove lenses is to close the eyelids. It is worth noting that this method is a favorite among many women. The undoubted advantage of this method is that it does not require direct touching of the cornea with the fingers.
- The first stage of this method consists in fixing the upper and lower eyelids with the fingers of one hand.
- After this, the eyelids must be carefully brought closer to each other. This movement helps the lens to “fall out” of the eye on its own.
- To prevent it from falling to the floor, place the palm of the other hand under the lower eyelid.
Some women remove their lenses in front of a mirror located on a table. So that when removing the lens, it does not fall directly on the table, it is better to put a napkin in front of the face. In this case, the vision-correcting product cannot be lost.
The lens that has fallen on a napkin should be washed with a special solution, and then carefully transferred to a previously prepared container.
Hard
These vision-correcting products are made of a fairly dense material. This feature determines the relatively long term of their wearing. Many people cannot wear such lenses, as they experience great discomfort when wearing them. To remove hard lenses, owners of long nails should also be quite careful. This does not require fixation of the eyelids. In order to remove such a product from the eye, the outer corner of the eye should be pulled with a finger. In this case, the skin of the eyelid must first be well pressed, and only then pulled towards the temporal part of the head. This movement helps the eyelids to come closer, and the lens itself falls out of the eye.
It is worth noting that this method is often used by women who have extended nails. If you carefully carry out such a procedure, then it is impossible to damage the delicate mucous membrane of the eye. After the lens has been removed from the cornea, the product should be treated with special care products for such products, and then placed in a storage container.
Recommendations
Before removing the lenses from the eye, you should prepare a special container for their storage. It is recommended to rinse it with a special solution. It contains special chemical components that contribute to the inhibition of the growth of pathogenic microbes. The use of high-quality solutions for storing lenses helps to significantly reduce the risk of developing viral and bacterial conjunctivitis - pathologies that can occur in people who often wear contact lenses.
After rinsing the container, you need to dry it. To do this, the lens container should be left open for several minutes. Wipe it with a fleecy towel should not. In this case, small villi can get on the lenses, and then subsequently with poor washing and on the cornea of the eye. In some cases, this can cause traumatic microdamage to this delicate ocular membrane.
Ophthalmologists note that For washing and storage of contact lenses, special solutions should be used. Water is not suitable for this purpose. It is important to note that flushing contact vision of products with water can subsequently lead to the appearance of adverse symptoms of conjunctivitis. Hands when removing lenses should be necessarily clean. They should be washed with soap. Careless washing can cause inflammatory eye diseases. After such hygienic processing of the hands, they should be thoroughly dried, and only then should lenses be removed from the eyes.
