5 Signs It’s Time To Replace Your Contact Lenses

As a contact lens wearer, you know how important it is to keep your lenses clean and in good condition. But did you know that there are signs that indicate when it's time to replace your contact lenses? Here are five signs to look out for:
 

Discomfort or Irritation

If you're experiencing discomfort or irritation while wearing your contact lenses, it could be a sign that it's time to replace them. This discomfort could be due to a buildup of debris or bacteria on the lenses, which can cause redness, itching, and even infection.

Blurry Vision

If your vision is blurry, it could be a sign that your contact lenses are damaged or worn out. Over time, contact lenses can become scratched or damaged, which can affect their ability to correct your vision properly.

Frequent Infections

If you find yourself getting eye infections more often than usual, it could be a sign that your contact lenses are past their prime. Old or damaged lenses can harbor bacteria and other microorganisms, which can lead to infections.

Dryness or Discoloration

If your lenses are dry or discolored, it's time to replace them. Dryness can lead to discomfort and irritation, while discoloration can indicate a buildup of protein or other substances on the lenses.

Expiration Date

Lastly, it's important to always check the expiration date on your contact lenses. Using lenses past their expiration date can lead to discomfort, infection, and even damage to your eyes.
