1. Can I take out the one-day lenses and put them on right away?
Not. The reason for this is not that the water in the lens container is full of germs or dirty, but because it contains a high concentration of disinfectant ingredients to prevent the lenses from spoiling when they are distributed. Therefore, it is recommended that you do not wear one-day lenses on your eyes right away, and that you wash them once with saline before using them.
2. Can I wear circle lenses?
1/3 of the reasons for the younger generation's visit to the eye clinic are due to cosmetic lenses such as circle lenses. Cosmetic lenses are dyed and thick, so oxygen permeability is low. Recently, there are many cosmetic lenses that are advertised as having high oxygen permeability, but they are only about half as fast as ordinary soft lenses. The safest lenses for vision correction are hard lenses, followed by soft lenses, and finally cosmetic lenses that have a vision correction effect, so ophthalmologists do not recommend circle lenses.
3. Does using a smartphone or PC hurt your eyes?
Even if you are staring at your smartphone or PC, your eyes will not get worse in a textbook. If you rest your eyes, such as looking at a distant place while looking at a screen, your eyes will be relieved.
4. Is a deviated septum necessary to be corrected?
70% of all humans have a deviated septum*. Unless it's blocked enough to cause discomfort in your daily life, there's no reason to correct it.
If it's uncomfortable, you can get corrective surgery. After this correction procedure, there is no recurrence unless there is an external shock. However, in the case of deviated septum, there are many cases of hypertrophic and allergic rhinitis at the same time, and in such cases, it is necessary to continue to visit the ENT for treatment.
*Nasal septum curvature: The nasal septum, which is located perpendicular to the center of the nose and divides the nostrils into two, becomes curved, causing symptoms related to the nose or functional disorders such as nasal congestion and sinusitis.
5. I've been putting artificial tears in for 2 months due to dry eyes, is there a solution if there is no remission?
If artificial tears do not heal after 2 months, the cause of dry eye syndrome should be properly identified. For example, in rare cases, if the tear ducts are closed and the tear supply is not possible, or if the eyelid area is inflamed and the eye does not secrete fat that acts as a lubricant, it is necessary to visit an ophthalmologist to find out the exact cause and receive appropriate treatment and surgery.
There are sunglasses that have UV protection, and there are also those that do not. For eye health, it is recommended to use it if you can see your shadow when you go out. In addition, it is recommended to continue wearing sunglasses for 4~6 months after eye surgery such as LASEK.
Colorless and transparent sunglasses also have UV protection. A popular prejudice is that you might think that sunglasses with a dark coating have a great effect on UV rays, but this is not necessarily the case. Sunglasses with a dark coating, but if they don't have UV protection, you'll get all the UV rays through your wide pupils, which is worse than not wearing them.
9. Once floaters appear, do they go away? Is floaters fatal to the eyes?
The number one reason for floaters is aging. Women are prone to menopause, and men are at different ages. Aging causes detachment, which separates the retina from the vitreous in front of the retina, and the optic nerve is the last to fall off, falling off along with tissue secretions, resulting in floaters.
Physiological floaters do not adversely affect vision, but they do not disappear either. However, as the age increases, the number and concentration of floaters decrease. The younger you are, the higher the viscosity inside your eyes, because the inside of your eyes liquefies with age, and the range of activity of floaters increases.
10. I apply glaucoma eye drops to my eyelashes for cosmetic purposes, are there any side effects?
The components of these glaucoma eye drops are prostaglandins. As glaucoma progresses, the intraocular pressure increases, so the medicine is designed to reduce intraocular pressure, but unintended side effects of the drug include lengthening of eyelashes and darkening of the skin in the area where the medicine is applied. There are people who use this as an uninsured drug for eyelash extensions from a pharmaceutical company.
The intraocular pressure is too low to cause any problems, so there are no major side effects when it gets into the eyes. However, if the medicine comes into contact with the skin around the eyes, you should be careful not to darken the skin. However, this phenomenon is also reversible, so you don't have to worry too much about it because it will gradually disappear once you stop taking the medicine.
