Contact lenses should not be worn for long periods of time, not just in summer. Generally speaking, the oxygen permeability of hydrogel contact lenses is weak. If we wear them for a long time, our cornea is prone to hypoxia, resulting in corneal edema, corneal infection and other problems. It is recommended that the time of wearing glasses should be controlled within 8 hours every day, especially when sleeping at night. When choosing products, choose silicon hydrogel contact lenses with good oxygen permeability as far as possible.
