Why do my eyes hurt when I wear contact lenses too long?
Hello, I'm Dr. Cheng from EyeCare For Vision Optometry in San Diego. I want to discuss an important topic from our new blog. Many patients ask, "Why do my eyes hurt when I wear contact lenses for too long?"
Often, the discomfort stems not just from lens misuse, but sometimes from cosmetic irritants. Did you know that the makeup or false eyelashes we love might cause burning or itching due to allergens or chemicals? Certain products can lead to infections or allergic reactions, making a comprehensive eye exam in San Diego more crucial than ever.
Additionally, poor makeup hygiene and choice can worsen these symptoms. If your eyes often feel irritated, dry, or persistently uncomfortable, it's time to take action. Prioritize your eye health by choosing your cosmetics carefully and keeping a clean routine. However, if symptoms persist, seek professional help. As your trusted Optometrist, I'm here to guide you through tailored solutions like dry eye treatment. Our practice prioritizes preventative care for comfortable vision.
