Taking lutein and zeaxanthin supplements can help your eyes filter blue light, also, keeping your computer screen 20 to 24 inches away from your eyes and adjusting lighting to minimise glare will help. Because we blink less when looking at screens, it’s important to make a conscious effort to blink often. Lastly, rest your eyes by taking a break every 20 minutes and focusing on an object 20 feet away for 20 seconds.
Wash Your Hands Before Touching Your Eyes
This is important for everyone, but especially for contact lens wearers so before touching your eyes, you should wash your hands with mild soap and dry them with a lint-free towel. This is because germs and bacteria inserted into your eyes by your fingers can cause eye infections like pink eye and can even introduce cold and flu viruses into your body.
Remove Your Contacts Before Showering or Swimming
While most contact lens wearers know that they shouldn’t sleep with contacts, many don’t know that they shouldn’t get their lenses wet. That’s because your contacts act like a sponge that absorbs bacteria and parasites that may be in pools, lakes, or shower water which can cause eye irritation and even severe sight-threatening infections.
