Spring is the time of year which those of us who suffer from certain allergies are afraid of. Pollen causes not only irritation of the nose, but also the eyes, which is especially difficult for contact lens wearers. Many of them even decide to stop using contact lens during the most difficult periods, switching back to glasses. This, however, can be easily avoided, provided you follow some simple rules.
First of all, though obviously it is not always possible, it is best to stay in air-conditioned rooms, which makes it possible to avoid contact with pollen. This is unfortunately extremely difficult for children, who are keen (as they should be) on outdoor activities.
Another thing that usually helps is using daily contact lenses, such as Acuvue Moist Brand Contact Lenses. They offer more comfort, especially during the worst months of spring and summer. Of course, they can also be worn by anybody who appreciates the comfort resulting from technology ensuring appropriate eye moisture at all times.
