Removing contact lenses for many owners of long nails brings strong discomfort. We will talk about how this can be done simply and quickly without adverse effects.
What is the best way to shoot?
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, to apply this method of vision correction, of course, possible.
However, in order not to damage the eyes, care must be taken when removing and putting on contact devices.
Contact lenses may be different. They not only differ in the source material, which is used for their manufacture, but also in the duration of the wearing period. Care for such vision-correcting products must be thorough. So, when using products designed for prolonged wear, you should use special containers. For one-day models such containers are not required.
Soft
These corrective vision products appeared relatively recently. However, they quickly became popular. Such products are relatively well "pass" the air. Wearing such lenses usually does not cause discomfort if they were originally chosen correctly. Care 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 "plucked". He is to consistently conduct the following techniques.
- The eyelids of the eye, from which the lens is removed, must be well separated. To do this, both fingers of one hand should be placed on the upper and lower eyelids. In this case, the fingers should be positioned closer to the border of hair growth and slightly delay the eyelids.
- Pinch the lens from the cornea. This should be done with the fingers of the other hand. Remove the lens should not the nails, and the lateral surfaces of the distal phalanges of the fingers. In this case, the lens as it "bends" in half and remains between the fingers. Carefully remove the product to prevent damage to the cornea of the eye.
An alternative way to remove the correcting visual acuity of a product 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 using the tweezers with the other hand, gently pry the product from the eye. In the process, it changes its shape and then “falls out” on its own.
Another way to remove the lenses is to close the eyelids. It is worth noting that this method is a favorite with many women. The undoubted advantage of this method is that it does not require direct contact with the fingers of the cornea.
- The first stage of this method consists in fixing the upper and lower eyelids with the fingers of one hand.
- After this, the eyelids should be carefully brought closer to each other. Such a movement contributes to the fact that the lens alone simply “drops out” of the eye.
- In order for it not to fall on the floor, under the lower eyelid you need to place the palm of the other hand.
Some women remove their lenses in front of a mirror on a table. In order for it not to fall directly on the table when removing the lens, it is better to put a napkin in the face. In this case, the corrective vision product will not be lost.
A lens that has fallen on a napkin must be rinsed with a special solution, and then carefully placed in a previously prepared container.
Tough
These corrective vision products are made of a fairly dense material. This feature and causes a relatively long period of their wearing. Many people cannot wear such lenses, as they experience severe discomfort when wearing them. To remove hard lenses to owners of long nails should also be quite cautious. 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 off with a finger. At the same time, the skin of the eyelid must first be pressed down well, and only then be delayed towards the temporal part of the head. Such a movement contributes to the fact that the eyelids begin to converge, 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, it is impossible to damage the delicate eye mucosa. 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 lens from the eye, you should prepare a special container for storing them. It is recommended to rinse it with a special solution. It contains special chemical components that contribute to the suppression of the growth of pathogenic microbes. The use of quality solutions for storing lenses helps to significantly reduce the risk of 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 box should be left open for a few minutes. Wipe it with a fleecy towel should not be. At the same time, small villi can get on the lenses, and then later in case of bad washing, and on the cornea of the eye. In some cases, this may cause traumatic microdamages of this delicate eye membrane.
Ophthalmologists note that for washing and storage of contact lenses should use special solutions. Water for this purpose does not fit. It is important to note that washing the contact of eyesight with water can further lead to the appearance of adverse symptoms of conjunctivitis. Hands when removing the lenses should be necessarily clean. Wash them with soap and water. Careless washing can cause inflammatory eye diseases. After such a hygienic treatment of the hands, they should be thoroughly dried, and only then should they be removed from the eyes of the lenses.
