Hi, I'm Jackie Gibon. I still struggle with acne that started in my teen years despite sitting firmly in mid-adulthood. Complicating medical conditions, including polycystic ovarian syndrome, make it difficult to overcome acne outbreaks that occur as hormones flare. Thanks to my strong interest in skincare routines, I have gleaned information that helps keep my skin in good shape otherwise. I just need help when my hormone levels run amok. Thankfully, I can rely on my dermatologist to provide adequate acne treatments that bring my skin back into line. I hope to share my experiences with these treatments with you through this site. I will talk about acne treatments, skincare routines and products you can use to control outbreaks. Please feel free to drop by anytime. Thanks for visiting.
Contact lenses are wonderful for improving your vision, but they are also delicate and easily affected by how your eyes move, the way you clean your lenses and even natural problems with your eyes. If you are having any problems with your vision, you should schedule an exam to get your eyes checked, because various vision problems could potentially be signs of greater health issues. Nevertheless, it's also important the know how to take care of your lenses and what can cause them to become cloudy.
Deposits on Lenses
Your eyes naturally clean themselves with your tears, and while blinking usually helps keep your contacts clean, debris and protein deposits can build up and obstruct your vision. This often occurs when you wear your contacts for longer than you're supposed to or if they aren't cleaned correctly. Sticking to a strict cleaning schedule is very important. Equally important is making sure you're using the right kind of cleaning solution for your contacts.
If you use anything that might be abrasive or corrosive, it can cause the lenses to deteriorate. Even worse, these corrosive chemicals will come into contact with your eyes the next time you put in your lenses, which you should definitely avoid.
Dry Eyes or Lenses
Blinking keeps your lenses moist for the most part, but you should still keep drops with you in case your lenses start to get dry. If your lenses start to dry out while they're in, your vision could start to become cloudy or blurry.
If the lenses themselves are not the problem, it's possible that you simply suffer from naturally dry eyes. If you've ever noticed that your eyes are dry, red or puffy even without contacts, you may have a chronic dry eye issue. If this is the case, you can help alleviate this problem with eye drops, but you can also get a special type of contact lens that are better suited for dry eyes. Consult your eye doctor to see if this is necessary, because using the wrong type of lens could give you vision problems even if your prescription is correct.
Prescription Changes
As we age, our eyes change constantly. This means that a prescription that worked for you a few years ago may not be right for you now. This is one reason that scheduling an annual eye exam is so important. Schedule regular appointments to make sure that your prescription is up to date. Along with making your vision cloudy and blurry, wearing an incorrect prescription can cause eye strain, which can lead to headaches and further vision problems.
