Ever wondered why your eyes feel irritated after a long day of wearing contact lenses? In the latest episode of the Jazzy Eyes podcast, Dr. Laura Falco, brings to light the many facets of using contact lenses, particularly the soft ones, and why you might be unintentionally harming your eyes. She points out the various types of lenses available, like the one-day lenses, the two-week lenses, and the monthly ones. In particular, the benefits of one-day lenses and the importance of cleanliness to avoid eye irritations are highlighted.
Dr. Falco takes a deep dive into the potential health risks associated with improper lens care, including the dangerous pseudomonas infection that can occur from storing lenses in tap water. The conversation takes an intriguing turn as she underscores the significance of giving your eyes a break from the contact lenses.
