Can I wear contact lenses that cost a dozen yuan? What are the dangers of wearing contact lenses that cost a dozen yuan?

With the development of the times, more and more people are beginning to accept wearing colored contact lenses. There are endless brands of colored contact lenses on the market, and the prices of colored contact lenses range from a dozen yuan to several hundred yuan. So, can you wear colored contact lenses that cost a dozen yuan?

Many friends like to wear colored contact lenses, because it makes their eyes look bigger and more charming. The quality of colored contact lenses on the market varies. In some small shops and e-commerce platforms, colored contact lenses costing only dozens of yuan are everywhere. When many friends are choosing, they hear the shopkeepers give exaggerated introductions, so in order to save money, they think it doesn't matter what they buy, so they choose to buy colored contact lenses costing only dozens of yuan. In fact, these colored contact lenses are not suitable for long-term wear.

1. Rights and interests are difficult to be protected

Things that cost dozens of dollars are mostly produced by small brands. They do not have independent research and development capabilities, nor do they have production factories. Most of their products are OEM products. To put it bluntly, they get the products from other OEM factories and then put their own brand trademarks on them. Therefore, not only is the quality not guaranteed, but once problems arise, it is also difficult to protect rights.

2. Quality varies

The cosmetic contact lenses that cost only a few dozen yuan on the market are actually copies of big brands. Generally speaking, as long as a cosmetic contact lens manufacturer of a big brand produces a model and it sells well, small factories will immediately follow suit. However, because the materials and production processes are different, and in order to ship quickly, small factories will not consider aspects such as safety and design. As long as they are similar, it's fine. But this similarity can easily harm our eyes.

3. The eyes are at greater risk

Nowadays, many cosmetic contact lenses have a variety of colors. Here, there is a huge difference between the cosmetic contact lenses of big brands that cost hundreds of yuan and those of small brands that cost tens of yuan. In order to make money, the cosmetic contact lenses of small brands will put the color on the inner surface. Over time, the corners of our eyes will be stained by the cosmetic contact lenses, and it will be too late for us to regret it!

1. Generally, many unqualified and inferior contact lenses will deceive consumers by saying that they are imported contact lenses, but if you look closely at the packaging, the information on it is not comprehensive. Formal imported contact lenses not only have packaging boxes, but also Chinese labels, manufacturers, production batch numbers, production dates, shelf life, use cycles, etc., and also have the words "approval from the State Food and Drug Administration". The packaging box will have an anti-counterfeiting code, which can be directly checked on the official website. If there is little or even no packaging information, it can basically be judged as inferior contact lenses!

2. Soak in alcohol. If the cosmetic contact lenses that come into contact with alcohol are of inferior quality, they will change. Some cosmetic contact lenses will have wrinkles on the edges, while others will have larger diameters, or even become larger. In addition, the soaked cosmetic contact lenses will fade when wiped with a cotton swab, and some will even break. 3. Soak in care solution. Genuine cosmetic contact lenses will not change if soaked in care solution, while inferior cosmetic contact lenses will fade. After soaking for about half an hour, wipe with a cotton swab and you will see that the lenses have faded. In addition, the transparent part in the middle of regular cosmetic contact lenses is large to provide a wider field of view and not block the light area of ​​the eye. Inferior cosmetic contact lens manufacturers will not consider these!!

The usage cycle refers to how long we can use it, which can basically be divided into: annual, semi-annual, monthly, daily, etc. For those who do not wear contact lenses often, daily disposables are recommended. Daily disposables are very soft, but the water content is average (I will keep a contact lens lubricating eye drop next to me, the ingredients are similar to tears). It is still quite clean to throw it away after wearing it, but the molding is relatively poor. Girls who wear contact lenses for the first time may have to wear them for a long time. If you wear them frequently, but often want to change to new ones, then semi-annual disposables are suitable for you. Annual disposables are the most cost-effective, with good molding and easier to wear. Although it is "annual disposables", it is almost time to change to a new one after wearing it for 8 months, and it is not necessary to wear it for a full year.
