After pregnancy, women need to pay attention to many aspects. Some beauty conscious women may have myopia and do not want to wear glasses with frames. Can they wear contact lenses after pregnancy?
It is recommended that women do not wear contact lenses during pregnancy. Contact lenses that are suitable for pregnant women to wear before pregnancy may become difficult to wear, uncomfortable to wear, or cannot be worn for a long time, and some may even not be able to wear them at all after pregnancy. Pregnant women may encounter many problems if they want to wear contact lenses. For example, wearing contact lenses can make the eyes dry and feel foreign, as the accumulation of mucus can greatly increase the greasiness on the surface of the contact lenses for pregnant women, making their vision less blurry.
Pregnant women wearing contact lenses may also damage the conjunctiva and cornea, as the secretion system undergoes some changes during pregnancy and the corneal tissue may experience mild edema, which increases the thickness of the cornea.
Moreover, contact lenses can block the contact between air and the cornea. If pregnant women continue to wear contact lenses during pregnancy, it will exacerbate corneal hypoxia and reduce corneal sensitivity. This can easily cause acute corneal damage, as well as symptoms such as unexplained tearing and reduced vision. Moreover, if pregnant women wear contact lenses, their chances of developing conjunctivitis will be higher than usual.
