Kubantu abangaboni kakuhle, iilensi zoqhagamshelwano zihlala ziyinxalenye yobomi bemihla ngemihla.Ngokutsho kwe-American Academy of Ophthalmology, i-lens yoqhagamshelwano yidiski yeplastiki ecacileyo ebekwe phezu kweso ukuphucula umbono womntu.Ngokungafaniyo neeglasi, ezi lens zibhityileyo zihlala phezu kwefilimu yeenyembezi yeliso, egquma kwaye ikhusela i-cornea yeliso.Ngokufanelekileyo, iilensi zoqhagamshelwano aziyi kuqatshelwa, zincede abantu babone ngcono.
Ii-contact lens zinokulungisa iintlobo ngeentlobo zeengxaki zokubona, kuquka ukubona kufutshane nokubona kude (ngokutsho kweNational Eye Institute).Ngokuxhomekeke kuhlobo kunye nobukhulu bokulahleka kombono, kukho iindidi ezininzi zeelensi zoqhagamshelwano ezilungele wena.Iilensi zoqhagamshelwano ezithambileyo lolona hlobo luxhaphakileyo, olunika ukuguquguquka kunye nentuthuzelo ekhethwa ngabantu abaninzi abanxibe iilensi zoqhagamshelwano.Iilensi zoqhagamshelwano eziqinileyo zilukhuni kunee-lens ezithambileyo kwaye kunokuba nzima kwabanye abantu ukuziqhelanisa.Nangona kunjalo, ukuqina kwabo kunokucothisa ukuqhubeka kwe-myopia, i-astigmatism echanekileyo, kunye nokubonelela ngombono ocacileyo (ngokwe-Healthline).
Nangona iilensi zoqhagamshelwano zinokwenza ubomi bube lula kubantu abangaboni kakuhle, zifuna ukhathalelo oluthile kunye nolondolozo ukuze zisebenze ngokusemandleni abo.Ukuba awuzilandeli izikhokelo zokucoca, ukugcina, kunye nokutshintsha iilensi zoqhagamshelwano (ukusebenzisa iKliniki yaseCleveland), impilo yamehlo akho inokuba sengozini.Nantsi into ekufuneka uyazi malunga neelensi zoqhagamshelwano.
Ukutsiba echibini okanye ukuhamba elunxwemeni unxibe iilensi zonxibelelwano kunokubonakala kungenabungozi, kodwa impilo yamehlo akho inokuba sengozini.Akukhuselekanga ukunxiba iilensi zokudibana emehlweni xa uqubha, njengoko iilensi zifunxa amanye amanzi angena emehlweni akho kwaye zinokuqokelela iintsholongwane, iintsholongwane, iikhemikhali, kunye neentsholongwane eziyingozi (nge-Healthline).Ukuvezwa kwamehlo ixesha elide kwezi pathogens kunokukhokelela kusulelo lwamehlo, ukudumba, ukucaphuka, ukoma, kunye nezinye iingxaki zamehlo eziyingozi.
Kodwa kuthekani ukuba awukwazi ukucima abafowunelwa bakho?Abantu abaninzi abane-presbyopia abakwazi ukubona ngaphandle kweelensi zoqhagamshelwano okanye iiglasi, kwaye iiglasi azifanelekanga ukuqubha okanye imidlalo yasemanzini.Amabala amanzi avela ngokukhawuleza kwiiglasi, axobuka ngokulula okanye adada.
Ukuba kufuneka unxibe iilensi zokunxibelelana ngelixa uqubha, iNethiwekhi yeOptometrist icebisa ukuba unxibe iiglowusi ukukhusela iilensi zakho, uzisuse ngoko nangoko emva kokuqubha, bulala iilensi zoqhagamshelwano ngokucokisekileyo emva kokuba udibane namanzi, kwaye usebenzise amathontsi amanzi ukukhusela amehlo omileyo.Nangona ezi ngcebiso zingayi kuqinisekisa ukuba awuyi kuba neengxaki, zinokunciphisa umngcipheko wokuphuhlisa usulelo lwamehlo.
Unokuncamathela ukubaluleka okukhulu ekucoceni ngokucokisekileyo kunye nokubulala iintsholongwane kwiilensi zoqhagamshelwano ngaphambi nangemva kokunxiba ngakunye.Nangona kunjalo, iilensi zoqhagamshelwano ezihlala zingahoywa nazo kufuneka zibe yinxalenye ebalulekileyo yokhathalelo lwamehlo akho.Ukuba awuzikhathaleli iimeko zakho zelensi zoqhagamshelwano, iintsholongwane ezinobungozi zinokukhula ngaphakathi kwaye zingene emehlweni akho (ngeVisionworks).
I-American Optometric Association (AOA) incoma ukucoca iilensi zoqhagamshelwano emva kokusetyenziswa ngakunye, ukuvula nokuwomisa xa kungasetyenziswanga, kunye nokutshintsha iilensi zokudibanisa rhoqo emva kweenyanga ezintathu.Ukulandela la manyathelo kuya kunceda ukugcina amehlo akho esempilweni ngokuqinisekisa ukuba iilensi zakho zoqhagamshelwano zicocekile kwaye zigcinwe kwisingxobo esicocekileyo nesisitsha emva kokusetyenziswa ngakunye.
IVisionworks ikuxelela indlela yokucoca ngokufanelekileyo iimeko zelensi zoqhagamshelwano.Okokuqala, lahla isisombululo soqhagamshelwano esisetyenzisiweyo, esinokuquka iibhaktheriya ezinobungozi kunye nezinto ezicaphukisayo.Emva koko hlamba izandla zakho ukuze ususe naziphi na iintsholongwane eluswini lwakho ezinokungena kwibhokisi yoqhagamshelwano.Emva koko yongeza ulwelo olucocekileyo lokunxibelelana kwimeko kwaye uqhube iminwe yakho phezu kwendawo yokugcina kunye nesivalo ukuze ukhulule kwaye ususe naziphi na iidiphozithi.Yiphalaze kwaye ugungxule umzimba ngesisombululo esikhulu de zonke iidiphozithi zihambe.Ekugqibeleni, beka i-case ngobuso phantsi, yome umoya ngokupheleleyo, kwaye uphinde uyivale xa yomile.
Kungahenda ukuthenga iilensi zokuhombisa zokuhombisa okanye isiphumo esimangalisayo, kodwa ukuba awunayo incwadi kagqirha, unokugqiba ukuhlawula ixabiso leziphumo ezibizayo nezibuhlungu. I-US Food & Drug Administration (i-FDA) ilumkisa malunga nokuthenga abafowunelwa be-counter-the-counter ukunqanda ukulimala kwamehlo okunokuthi kwenzeke xa unxibe iilensi ezingawafanelanga kakuhle amehlo akho. I-US Food & Drug Administration (i-FDA) ilumkisa malunga nokuthenga abafowunelwa be-counter-the-counter ukunqanda ukulimala kwamehlo okunokuthi kwenzeke xa unxibe iilensi ezingawafanelanga kakuhle amehlo akho.I-US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) ilumkisa ngokuthenga iilensi zoqhagamshelwano ezingaphandle kwe-counter ukuthintela ukulimala kwamehlo okunokuthi kwenzeke xa unxibe iilensi ezingafanelanga amehlo akho.I-US Food and Drug Administration (i-FDA) ilumkisa ngokuthenga iilensi zoqhagamshelwano ngaphandle kwekhawuntara ukukhusela ukwenzakala kwamehlo okunokuthi kwenzeke xa unxibe iilensi ezingafanelanga amehlo akho.
Umzekelo, ukuba ezi lens zokuthambisa azilingani okanye azilingani emehlweni akho, unokufumana imikrwelo ye-corneal, usulelo lwe-cornea, i-conjunctivitis, ukulahleka kombono, kunye nokungaboni.Ukongezelela, iilensi zokudibanisa zokuhlobisa zihlala zingenayo imiyalelo yokucoca okanye ukuzinxiba, ezinokubangela iingxaki zombono.
I-FDA iphinda ithi akukho mthethweni ukuthengisa iilensi zokudibanisa ezihombisayo ngaphandle komyalelo.Iilensi azifakwanga kudidi lwezithambiso okanye ezinye iimveliso ezinokuthengiswa ngaphandle komyalelo kagqirha.Naziphi na iilensi zoqhagamshelwano, kwanazo zingalungiyo umbono, zifuna umyalelo kwaye zinokuthengiswa kuphela ngabathengisi abagunyazisiweyo.
Ngokutsho kwenqaku le-American Optometric Association, uMongameli we-AOA uRobert S. Layman, i-OD wabelane, "Kubaluleke kakhulu ukuba izigulane zibone i-ophthalmologist kwaye zigqoke kuphela iilensi zokudibanisa, kunye okanye ngaphandle kokulungiswa kombono."Kufuneka ujonge kwiilensi ezinemibala, qiniseka ukuba ubona ugqirha wamehlo kwaye ufumane nencwadi kagqirha.
Ngelixa kusenokothusa ukwazi ukuba ilensi yakho yoqhagamshelwano ihambe ngasemva kweliso lakho, ayibambekanga apho.Nangona kunjalo, emva kokuxubha, ukubetha ngengozi okanye ukuchukumisa iliso, i-lens yoqhagamshelwano inokuhamba ngaphandle kwendawo.Ilensi idla ngokushukuma iye phezulu kwiliso, phantsi kwenkophe, ikushiya uzibuza ukuba iye phi kwaye ubhuqa uzama ukuyikhupha.
Iindaba ezimnandi zezokuba i-lens yoqhagamshelwano ayinakuxinga emva kweliso (nge-All About Vision).Umaleko ongaphakathi ofumileyo phantsi kwenkophe, obizwa ngokuba yi-conjunctiva, eneneni ugoqa ngaphezulu kwenkophe, ugoqeke ngasemva, kwaye ugqume umaleko ongaphandle webhola yeliso.Kudliwanondlebe no-Self, umongameli onyuliweyo we-AOA u-Andrea Tau, OD uyacacisa, "Inwebu [edibeneyo] ihamba kumhlophe weliso kwaye inyuke nangaphantsi kwenkophe, idala isingxobo esijikeleze umjikelezo."umva weliso, kuquka iilensi ezimenyezelayo.
Oko kuthethiweyo, awudingi kuphakuzela ukuba amehlo akho aphulukana nokunxibelelana.Ungayisusa ngokufaka amathontsi ambalwa okunxibelelana kunye nokuphulula ngobunono umphezulu wenkophe de iwe ilensi kwaye ungayisusa (ngokuvumelana ne-All About Vision).
Ukuphelelwa sisisombululo soqhagamshelwano kwaye akukho xesha lokubaleka ukuya evenkileni?Ungaze ucinge ngokuphinda usebenzise isicoci samatyala.Nje ukuba iilensi zakho zoqhagamshelwano zifakwe kwisisombululo, zinokugcina iintsholongwane ezibangela usulelo kunye nezinto ezicaphukisayo ezinokuthi zingcolise iilensi zakho ukuba uzama ukusebenzisa isisombululo kwakhona (ngeVisionworks).
I-FDA iphinda ilumkise "ngokuyeka" isisombululo esele sisetyenziswa kwimeko yakho.Nokuba wongeza isisombululo esitsha kulwelo olusetyenzisiweyo, isisombululo asiyi kuba linyumba xa kusenziwa inzala ngokufanelekileyo yelensi.Ukuba awunaso isisombululo esaneleyo sokucoca ngokukhuselekileyo kunye nokugcina iilensi zakho, kwixesha elizayo xa uthatha isigqibo sokunxiba iilensi zokudibanisa, kungcono ukuzilahla kwaye uthenge iperi entsha.
I-AOA yongeza ukuba kubalulekile ukulandela imiyalelo yokhathalelo enikelwe ngumenzi wesisombululo selensi yoqhagamshelwano.Ukuba kucetyiswa ukuba ugcine iilensi zakho zoqhagamshelwano kwisisombululo kuphela ixesha elilinganiselweyo, kufuneka uvale ngokwale shedyuli, nokuba awufuni ukugqoka iilensi zokudibanisa.Ngokuqhelekileyo, abafowunelwa bakho bagcinwa kwisisombululo esifanayo iintsuku ezingama-30.Emva koko, kuya kufuneka ulahle ezo lens ukuze ufumane ezintsha.
Enye ingcamango eqhelekileyo yokuba abaninzi abanxibe iilensi zoqhagamshelwano bazenzayo kukuba amanzi ayindawo ekhuselekileyo yokugcina iilensi zoqhagamshelwano ngokungabikho kwesisombululo.Nangona kunjalo, ukusebenzisa amanzi, ngakumbi amanzi ompompo, ukucoca okanye ukugcina iilensi zoqhagamshelwano akulunganga.Amanzi anokuqulatha izingcolisi ezahlukeneyo, iibhaktheriya, kunye nokungunda okunokwenzakalisa impilo yamehlo akho (nge-All About Vision).
Ngokukodwa, i-microorganism ebizwa ngokuba yi-Acanthamoeba, edla ngokufumaneka kumanzi ompompo, inokubambelela ngokulula kumphezulu weelensi zoqhagamshelwano kwaye yosulele amehlo xa enxitywe (ngokwe-Arhente yoKhuseleko lweNdalo yase-US).Usulelo lwamehlo olubandakanya i-Acanthamoeba kumanzi ompompo lunokubangela iimpawu ezibuhlungu, kuquka ukungonwabi kakhulu kwamehlo, ukuva umzimba wasemzini ngaphakathi kweliso, namabala amhlophe ajikeleze umphetho weliso.Nangona iimpawu zinokuhlala ukusuka kwiintsuku ezimbalwa ukuya kwiinyanga, iliso alinakuze liphilise ngokupheleleyo, nangona unyango.
Nokuba kukho amanzi etephu alungileyo kwindawo yakho, kungcono ukukhuseleka kunokuzisola.Sebenzisa iilensi zoqhagamshelwano kuphela ukugcina iilensi okanye ukukhetha iperi entsha.
Abaninzi abanxibe iilensi zoqhagamshelwano bandisa ishedyuli yabo yokunxiba ngethemba lokonga imali okanye bathintele olunye uhambo oluya kugqirha wamehlo.Nangona isenzeka ngempazamo, ukungalandeli ishedyuli yokutshintshwa kwemiyalelo kagqirha kunokuba luncedo kwaye konyuse umngcipheko wosulelo lwamehlo kunye neminye imiba yempilo yamehlo (ngeNethiwekhi yeOptometrist Network).
Njengoko iNethiwekhi ye-Optometrist ichaza, ukunxiba iilensi zoqhagamshelwano ixesha elide kakhulu okanye ngaphezulu kwexesha elicetyiswayo lokunxiba kunokunciphisa ukuhamba komoya-mpilo kwi-cornea kunye nemithambo yegazi esweni.Iziphumo zivela kwiimpawu ezincinci ezifana namehlo omileyo, ukucaphuka, ukungahambi kakuhle kwe-lens, kunye namehlo egazi ukuya kwiingxaki ezinzulu ezifana nezilonda ze-cornea, izifo, i-corneal scarring, kunye nokulahlekelwa ngumbono.
Uphononongo olupapashwe kwiphephancwadi i-Optometry kunye ne-Vision Science lufumanise ukuba ukugqoka ngokugqithiseleyo iilensi zoqhagamshelwano yonke imihla kunokukhokelela ekwakhiweni kweeprotheyini kwiilensi, ezinokubangela ukucaphuka, ukunciphisa ukungaboni kakuhle, ukwandiswa kwamaqhuma amancinci kwiinkophe ezibizwa ngokuba yi-conjunctival papillae. kunye nomngcipheko wokosuleleka.Ukuze ugweme ezi ngxaki zamehlo, hlala ulandela ishedyuli yokunxiba i-lens kwaye uyitshintshe ngexesha elicetyiswayo.
Ugqirha wakho wamehlo uya kuhlala ecebisa ukuba uhlambe izandla zakho phambi kokuba unxibe iilensi zoqhagamshelwano.Kodwa uhlobo lwesepha oyisebenzisayo ukuhlamba izandla lunokwenza wonke umahluko xa kufikwa kukhathalelo lwelensi kunye nempilo yamehlo.Iindidi ezininzi zesepha zinokuqulatha iikhemikhali, ii-oyile ezibalulekileyo, okanye izinto zokuthambisa ezinokungena kwiilensi zoqhagamshelwano kwaye zibangele ukucaphuka kwamehlo ukuba azihlanjululwanga kakuhle (ngokweNational Keratoconus Foundation).Intsalela inokwenza ifilimu kwiilensi zoqhagamshelwano, ukubona luzizi.
INethiwekhi yeOptometrist Network icebisa ukuba uhlambe izandla zakho ngesepha engaqholwanga ye-antibacterial phambi kokuba unxibe okanye ukhulule iilensi zoqhagamshelwano.Nangona kunjalo, i-American Academy of Ophthalmology iphawula ukuba isepha yokufumisa ikhuselekile ukuba ingasetyenziswa ukuba nje uhlambulula isepha ezandleni zakho phambi kweelensi zoqhagamshelwano.Ukuba unamehlo abuthathaka ngakumbi, unokufumana izicoci zezandla kwimarike eyilelwe ngokukodwa ukusebenza ngeelensi zoqhagamshelwano.
Ukufaka i-makeup ngelixa unxibe iilensi zoqhagamshelwano kunokuba luqilima kwaye kusenokuthatha ukuziqhelisa ukugcina imveliso ingangeni emehlweni akho nakwiilensi zoqhagamshelwano.Ezinye izithambiso zinokushiya ifilimu okanye intsalela kwiilensi ezinokuthi zibangele ukucaphuka xa zibekwe phantsi kwelensi.Ukwakheka kwamehlo, kubandakanya isithunzi samehlo, i-eyeliner, kunye ne-mascara, inokuba yingxaki ngakumbi kubanxibe i-lens yokunxibelelana kuba banokungena ngokulula emehlweni okanye bagqabhuke (nge-CooperVision).
I-Johns Hopkins Medicine ithi ukunxiba izithambiso ezinee-contact lens kunokubangela ukucaphuka kwamehlo, ukoma, ukungezwani komzimba, izifo zamehlo, kunye nokwenzakala ukuba awulumkanga.Eyona ndlela ingcono yokuphepha ezi mpawu kukuhlala unxibe iilensi zokunxibelelana phantsi kwe-makeup, sebenzisa uphawu oluthembekileyo lwezithambiso ze-hypoallergenic, uphephe ukwabelana nge-makeup, kwaye uphephe i-eyeshadow ekhazimlayo.I-L'Oreal Paris ikwacebisa i-eyeliner ekhanyayo, imascara engangeni manzi eyenzelwe amehlo abuthathaka, kunye ne-eyeshadow elulwelo ukunciphisa umgubo wokuwa.
Ayizizo zonke izisombululo zelensi zoqhagamshelwano ezifanayo.Olu lwelo lungasebenziyo lunokusebenzisa izithako ezahlukeneyo zokubulala iintsholongwane kunye nokucoca iilensi, okanye ukunika intuthuzelo eyongezelelweyo kwabo basweleyo.Umzekelo, ezinye iintlobo zeelensi zoqhagamshelwano onokuzifumana kwimarike ziquka iilensi zoqhagamshelwano ezininzi, iilensi zoqhagamshelwano zamehlo ezomileyo, iilensi zoqhagamshelwano zehydrogen peroxide, kunye neenkqubo zokhathalelo lwelensi eqinileyo (nge-Healthline).
Abantu abanamehlo abuthathaka okanye abo banxiba iintlobo ezithile zeelensi zokunxibelelana baya kufumanisa ukuba ezinye iilensi zokunxibelelana zisebenza ngcono kunezinye.Ukuba ujonge isisombululo esifikelelekayo sokubulala iintsholongwane kunye nokuthambisa iilensi zakho, isisombululo semisebenzi emininzi sinokulunga kuwe.Kubantu abanamehlo abuthathaka okanye abakwaliwayo, unokuthenga isisombululo se-saline esithambileyo sokuhlambulula iilensi zonxibelelwano ngaphambi nasemva kokubulawa kweentsholongwane ukuze ufumane intuthuzelo efanelekileyo (ngokweNdaba zezoNyango namhlanje).
Isisombululo seperoxide yehidrojeni yenye inketho ukuba isisombululo senjongo yonke sibangela ukusabela okanye ukungakhululeki.Nangona kunjalo, kufuneka usebenzise imeko ekhethekileyo eza nesisombululo, eguqula iperoxide yehidrojeni ibe yityuwa enyumba kwiiyure ezimbalwa (ivunyiwe yi-FDA).Ukuba uzama ukubuyisela iilensi ngaphambi kokuba i-hydrogen peroxide ingasebenzi, amehlo akho aya kutshisa kwaye i-cornea yakho inokonakala.
Nje ukuba ufumane umyalelo welensi yoqhagamshelwano, unokuziva ukulungele ukuphila.Nangona kunjalo, abanxibe iilensi zoqhagamshelwano kufuneka babe nokuhlolwa konyaka ukuze babone ukuba amehlo abo atshintshile kwaye ukuba iilensi zoqhagamshelwano zizona zikhethwa kakhulu kuhlobo lwabo lokulahleka kombono.Uvavanyo lwamehlo olubanzi lukwanceda ukuchonga izifo zamehlo kunye nezinye iingxaki ezinokukhokelela kunyango lwakwangoko kunye nombono ophuculweyo (nge-CDC).
Ngokutsho kwe-VSP Vision Care, iimviwo zelensi zoqhagamshelwano ngokwenene zahlukile kwiimviwo zamehlo eziqhelekileyo.Ukuhlolwa kwamehlo rhoqo kuquka ukujonga umbono womntu kunye nokukhangela iimpawu zeengxaki ezinokubakho.Nangona kunjalo, i-lens yokujonga i-lens iquka uhlobo olwahlukileyo lovavanyo ukuze ubone ukuba umbono wakho kufuneka ucace kangakanani ngeelensi zoqhagamshelwano.Ugqirha uya kuphinda alinganise umphezulu weliso lakho ukumisela iilensi zoqhagamshelwano zobukhulu obufanelekileyo kunye nokumila.Uya kuba nethuba lokuxoxa ngeendlela zokuqhagamshelana ne-lens kwaye unqume ukuba loluphi uhlobo olulungele iimfuno zakho.
Nangona kusenokothusa ukuba ugqirha wamehlo ukukhankanya oku, kubalulekile ukwazi ukuba amathe asiyondlela engena ntsholongwane okanye ekhuselekileyo yokuphinda umanzise iilensi zoqhagamshelwano.Musa ukubamba iilensi zoqhagamshelwano emlonyeni wakho ukuze uzimanzise kwakhona xa zomile, ucaphukise amehlo akho, okanye ude uphume.Umlomo uzele ziintsholongwane kunye nezinye iintsholongwane ezinokubangela izifo zamehlo kunye nezinye iingxaki zamehlo (ngeYahoo News).Kungcono ukulahla iilensi ezingalunganga kwaye uqale ngeperi entsha.
Olunye usulelo lwamehlo oludla ngokubonwa xa amathe esetyenziselwa ukumanzisa iilensi yikeratitis, ekukudumba kwecornea okubangelwa ziibhaktheriya, umngundo, iiparasites, okanye iintsholongwane ezingena esweni (ngokweMayo Clinic).Iimpawu ze-keratitis zingabandakanya amehlo abomvu kunye nabuhlungu, amanzi okanye ukukhutshwa kwamehlo, umbono ophazamisayo, kunye nokwanda kobuzwe ekukhanyeni.Ukuba ubuzama ukumanzisa okanye ukucoca iilensi zoqhagamshelwano ngomlomo kwaye ufumana ezi mpawu, lixesha lokuba wenze idinga nogqirha wakho wamehlo.
Nokuba ucinga ukuba unomyalelo ofanayo nomhlobo okanye ilungu losapho, kukho umahluko kubungakanani bamehlo kunye nokumila, ngoko ke ukwabelana ngeelensi zoqhagamshelwano akuyombono ilungileyo.Ungasathethi ke, ukunxiba iilensi zoqhagamshelwano zomnye umntu emehlweni akho kunokukutyhila kuzo zonke iintlobo zeebhaktheriya, iintsholongwane, kunye neentsholongwane ezinokukugulisa (ngokutsho kweBausch + Lomb).
Kwakhona, ukunxiba iilensi zoqhagamshelwano ezingafanelanga amehlo akho kunokonyusa umngcipheko weenyembezi zecorneal okanye izilonda kunye nosulelo lwamehlo (ngeWUSF Public Media).Ukuba uqhubeka unxiba iilensi zoqhagamshelwano ezingafanelekanga, unokuphinda uphuhlise ukunganyamezeli i-lens (CLI), oku kuthetha ukuba awusayi kuphinda unxibe iilensi zoqhagamshelwano ngaphandle kweentlungu okanye ukungonwabi, nokuba iilensi ozama ukuzifaka zimiselwe. wena (ngokweLaser Eye Institute).Amehlo akho ekugqibeleni aya kwala ukunxiba iilensi zoqhagamshelwano kwaye azibone njengezinto zangaphandle emehlweni akho.
Xa ucelwa ukuba wabelane ngeelensi zoqhagamshelwano (kubandakanywa iilensi zokudibanisa ezihlobisayo), kufuneka uhlale unqanda ukwenza oko ukuze uthintele umonakalo wamehlo kunye nokunganyamezeli kweelensi zoqhagamshelwano kwixesha elizayo.
I-CDC inika ingxelo yokuba eyona nto ixhaphakileyo yokuziphatha emngciphekweni enxulumene nokhathalelo lwelensi yoqhagamshelwano kukulala nayo.Kungakhathaliseki ukuba udinwe kangakanani, kungcono ukususa iilensi zakho zoqhagamshelwano phambi kwe-hay.Ukulala kwi-contact lens kunokunyusa amathuba akho okuphuhlisa izifo zamehlo kunye nezinye iimpawu zeengxaki-nokuba kunye neelensi zokudibanisa ixesha elide.Kungakhathaliseki ukuba luhlobo luni lweelensi zoqhagamshelwano ozinxibayo, iilensi zinciphisa ukunikezelwa kwe-oksijini ebalulekileyo emehlweni akho, enokuchaphazela impilo yamehlo akho kunye nombono (ngokweSiseko sokulala).
Ngokutsho kweKliniki yaseCleveland, iilensi zoqhagamshelwano zingabangela ukoma, ubomvu, ukucaphuka, kunye nomonakalo xa i-lens isusiwe ngelixa ibophelelwe kwi-cornea.Ukulala kwiilensi zoqhagamshelwano kunokukhokelela ekusulelekeni kwamehlo kunye nomonakalo wamehlo ngokusisigxina, kubandakanywa i-keratitis, ukuvuvukala kwe-cornea kunye nezifo zefungal, i-Sleep Foundation yongezelela.
