7 Must-Know Safety Tips for First-Time Colored Contact Lens Users

by CHUMINGMING 12 Feb 2025

1. Only Buy FDA-Approved or CE-Marked Lenses

Target Keyword: "colored contacts safety guide"
Not all colored contacts are created equal. Avoid purchasing lenses from unverified sellers (e.g., flea markets, unlicensed online stores). Legitimate brands will:

  • Display FDA approval (USA) or CE marking (Europe) on packaging.

  • Require a valid prescription, even for non-corrective ("plano") lenses.
    Why it matters: Non-approved lenses may use unsafe dyes or have poor oxygen permeability, increasing infection risks.


2. Wash Your Hands – Every. Single. Time.

Germs from your fingers are the #1 cause of eye infections. Before touching lenses:

  • Use fragrance-free antibacterial soap.

  • Dry hands with a lint-free towel (no paper towels!).

  • Avoid moisturizers or oils that can transfer to lenses.


3. Never Skip the Cleaning Routine

Target Keyword: "first time wearing contacts"
Even daily disposable lenses require care if removed and reused (though we don’t recommend it!). For monthly lenses:

  • Rub lenses gently with contact lens solution (never water or saliva!).

  • Store in a clean case filled with fresh solution.

  • Replace cases every 3 months.


4. Don’t Sleep in Colored Contacts

Unless specifically labeled "extended wear" (rare for cosmetic lenses):

  • Remove lenses before naps, bedtime, or all-night parties.

  • Sleeping in lenses reduces oxygen flow by 80%, raising ulcer risks.


5. Recognize Irritation Signs Early

Stop using lenses immediately if you experience:

  • Redness lasting >1 hour after removal.

  • Blurred vision, light sensitivity, or excessive tearing.

  • Burning sensations or unusual discharge.
    When in doubt, see an eye doctor within 24 hours.


6. Respect the Expiration Date

Colored contacts have two deadlines:

  • Expiration date (unopened): Discard if past this date, even if unused.

  • Replacement schedule (opened): Dailies = 1 day, monthlies = 30 days.


7. Schedule Regular Eye Checkups

Even if you have 20/20 vision:

  • Get a yearly exam to update your prescription.

  • Ask your optometrist to assess lens fit – poorly sized contacts can scratch your cornea.


FAQs About Colored Contact Safety

Q: Are colored contacts safe for teenagers?
A: Yes, but only with parental consent, a prescription, and adult supervision for first-time use.

Q: Can I swim with colored contacts?
A: No! Water (pools, showers) harbors bacteria like Acanthamoeba that can cling to lenses.

Q: How long does it take to adjust to colored contacts?
A: Most users adapt within 1-2 days. Persistent discomfort? Switch brands.

什么是 Lorem Ipsum? Lorem Ipsum 只是印刷排版行业的虚拟文本。自 1500 年代以来,Lorem Ipsum 一直是该行业的标准虚拟文本,当时一位不知名的印刷工从字样中取出一页并将其打乱,制作成一本字样册。它不仅在五个世纪中存留下来,而且在电子排版中也基本保持不变。它在 20 世纪 60 年代因 Letraset 纸张发布而流行起来,纸张中包含 Lorem Ipsum 段落,最近,Aldus PageMaker 等桌面出版软件也包含各种版本的 Lorem Ipsum。 我们为什么要使用它? 长期以来,读者在浏览页面布局时会被页面的可读内容所吸引,这是一个公认的事实。使用 Lorem Ipsum 的意义在于,它具有或多或少正常的字母分布,而不是使用“此处内容,此处内容”,使其看起来像可读的英语。许多桌面出版软件包和网页编辑器现在都使用 Lorem Ipsum 作为其默认模型文本,搜索“lorem ipsum”会发现许多仍处于起步阶段的网站。多年来,各种版本已经发展起来,有时是偶然的,有时是故意的(注入幽默等)。
