Contact lens wearers, here's a reality: summer heat affects your lenses more than you might think!
Heat causes contact lens solutions to evaporate faster, which means your lenses can dry out more quickly. Additionally, sweat, sunscreen, and chlorine can all interfere with lens comfort and safety. If you're feeling grittiness, redness, or dryness in your contacts this summer, it's not just in your head.
The fix? Keep your lens case cool, increase your solution changes, stay hydrated, and if you're swimming, remove your contacts first. Better yet, ask us about summer-friendly lens options — some materials handle heat and dry conditions better than others. Your eyes will be more comfortable, and you'll actually enjoy the season.
