5 Contact Lens Problems

[tps_header]I started wearing contact lenses about a year back. I’ve noticed that though there are a lot of pros, it comes with many cons too. If you are a recent lens wearer or even a seasoned one, I’m sure you’ll agree to some of the struggles listed out that we face on a regular basis.[/tps_header] [tps_title]Dropping your lens on the floor[/tps_title] For non lens wearers this may seem like a pretty silly thing to worry about, but let me tell you the truth. Wearing lenses can take from 2 to 15 minutes with the usual being the former. The extra 13 minutes are required when a lens falls down. You see, a lens is a tiny, transparent and soft object. As luck would have it, a lens will often fall down AFTER you’ve worn one. When it falls down, you’re literally semi blind and trailing your hands across the floor trying to find it. After bringing flashlights, and trying to squint through one eye of clear vision, you finally find it hiding in the corner, covered in dust. The next step is to wash it thoroughly with lens solution, stick it back in your eye and rush as you’re conveniently late for work. [tps_title]Feel the Burn[/tps_title] Many times we are in a hurry to leave for work/college/an event and we often forget that our lenses rest on our very sensitive eyeballs. In our rush, we fail to wash our hands properly and think everything will be fine. Well, everything isn’t always dandy. Once you place the lens on your eye, you feel everything is fine for 2 seconds. After these 2 seconds, comes the biggest regret of your life in the form of excruciating burning. Your eye becomes red, tears are streaming down your face, people are asking you what’s wrong, it’s a whole big scene. You remove it, wash and wear it again but the damage has already been done. You avoid eye contact with others for the next few hours as your eye turns a beautiful shade of red. [tps_title]Applying Eye Makeup[/tps_title] This one is for the girls. A lot of girls told me that once you start wearing lenses, eye makeup will be difficult and that there are certain rules to adhere to. Many people say that all eye related makeup should be done AFTER wearing the lens. The struggle starts when you place the lens in your eye and pick up the kaajal pencil. You have to be careful so as to avoid poking your lens and smearing black all over it. The lower eyelid must be pulled far enough to ensure adequate application without any contact of the pencil with the lens. Once you’ve applied it, you blink and more often than not, you’ll see black spots on your lens. But you get used to that after the hundredth time. [tps_title]Dozing Off[/tps_title] This is one of the major disadvantages of wearing lenses. Once you wear them, you have to be awake at all times till you remove them. If you want to take a nap, you must remove them, nap, then wake up, wear them again, and go about your day. If you’re reading a book and start feeling drowsy, slap yourself! You cannot afford to do all the lens work. Just finish the goddamn book quietly. Now, let me point out here that there are many who don’t care about this rule and are rebellious enough to break it. It is these individuals who also end up suffering once they’re awake with painful red eyes. It’s your choice. [tps_title]Monsoon[/tps_title] Most of us love rain, especially when it comes as a surprise during peak Delhi summers. People who wear lenses? Not so much. See the problem here is not exactly the lenses, but the fact that you have poor eyesight. Even if you wear your glasses, you have to remove them in the rain and walk around half blind (unless you have mini wipers on your glasses). If you wear lenses, you dare not open your eyes wide enough because if a single drop enters your eye, you’re doomed. You’ll be blinking furiously and looking down for majority of the time. So, what do people like us do? Stay indoors.
