Spring is in the air, and with it plenty of sunshine and flowers. Unfortunately for those who suffer from seasonal allergies, it can sometimes mean experiencing common and unpleasant symptoms such as itchy, watery, and red eyes. These symptoms can be particularly troublesome for contact lens wearers, making this time of year challenging for maintaining optimal eye health.
March is Save Your Vision Month which means it’s time to prioritize your eye health, and reassess your eye care routines, especially with the added complications of allergy season.
Our eye care team at Visions Optometry discusses further below.
Why Daily Contact Lenses are a Spring Essential
For those who favor contact lenses, transitioning to daily disposables during allergy season can significantly enhance your comfort and eye health. Here's why making the switch is beneficial:
Reduced Allergen Accumulation: Daily disposables are discarded after a single use, dramatically reducing the potential for allergen build-up on your lenses, which can make allergy symptoms much worse.
Enhanced Comfort: Daily lenses provide optimal comfort, a necessity when contending with irritation and dryness caused by allergies.
Improved Eye Health: Switching to a fresh pair of lenses daily decreases the risk of infection and ensures you don’t expose your eyes to accumulated deposits and allergens.
Convenience: Daily contact lenses eliminate the need for lens cleaning solutions and cases, simplifying your eye care routine during the busy spring season.
