Contact lenses, are they myths?!


Question: Contact lenses, are they myths!?
i've heard that wearing contacts regularly / for a long perios of time causes blood vesels to grow around your eyes [ the white part], causing 'ugly' eyes!. is that true!? oh, and i've heard for some of my friends about these contact lenses which you wewar at night to obtain perfect vision throughout that day aft you take them out in the morning!. can anyone provide more infomation on this!?Www@Answer-Health@Com


Answers:
Yes to both questions, only blood vessels grow into the cornea where none usually exists!. The cornea is starved for oxygen so these blood vessels grow in in an attempt to carry oxygen to the cornea!. Also, at the limbus (where the sclera [white part} meets the cornea) you can get dilated, flushed vessels for the same reasons as well as from poorly fit lenses!.

As for lenses to reshape your eye, this is orthokeratology!. Not all doctors practice this, so you'll want to find one in your area who has experience!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

contact lenses were not meant to be worn for 24 hours!. use it only during the day, as wearing it causes the eyes to be dry (because the tears cannot reach the part where your contact lenses are)

contact lenses are just lenses, and they cannot in anyway alter the lens inside your eyes!. they alter the light that passes to the inside lenses to give u a better vsion!. wearing it overnight cannot make your eyes better in the morning!. it will actually make it worse because your eyes might dry up!.

If you wear your contacts as they are meant to be worn, you should not have new blood vessels form in your eye!. This will only happen if you wear them longer than you should!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
