Contact Lens Questions

Apart from the cosplay makeup tutorial requests, there are a lot of questions about contact lenses. I’ll post a couple, along with some general tips that would answer similar questions that were sent in. :)

If you’ve never worn contacts before, it is very important that you first go to an eye doctor and get your eyes checked to see if they’re suitable for wearing lenses. It’s not a matter of needing them to improve your eyesight, so even people who don’t need glasses have to do this. Some people’s eyeballs are of unusual sizes or are curved in a way that is not suitable for wearing contact lenses. If the optometrist gives you the go signal, you can also ask them to teach you the proper way of wearing lenses.

(You can find good wigs from all sorts of places. Local wig stores, sometimes the department store, with the help of Google, Facebook, etc. I have a friend who sells wigs over at My Little Prince Shop on Facebook.)

I have terrible eyesight so I’ve been wearing prescription lenses for many years. Of course bad things can happen, but it is very easy to avoid them by observing proper hygiene and eye care. :)

● Don’t rub your eyes or sleep (not even nap!) with your lenses on to keep them from getting shoved into places they’re not supposed to.

● Keep your eyes moist with eye drops (better to use lubricating drops that are meant to be used with contact lenses — you can get them from optical shops). This will prevent them from getting stuck.

● Lack of sleep and wearing contact lenses for too many hours at a time are two reasons eyes can feel dry. You won’t need eye drops so much if you get enough sleep and minimize the time you wear your lenses. My eye doctor told me to try wearing them for 8 hours at most, and to get at least 6 hours of sleep.

● For people like me who need glasses or contacts to see, give your eyes a break on some days by wearing glasses.

And for a tutorial video for first-time contact lens users, here’s a really helpful one:

Apart from showing how to put them on and take them off, it also shows tips on what to do when you receive your brand-new lenses in their original vials.

And once again, I get my cosplay contact lenses from Alice & Rabbit’s Shop:

I’ve got a number of questions about my cameras. Perhaps I’ll tackle those next time. :) There are also people who left very sweet (and sometimes anonymous) messages, whom I’d very much like to thank.
