正确使用隐形眼镜的小贴士

一、How to keep your contact lens clean

如何保持隐形眼镜清洁

1. Before you come into contact with the lens, wash your hands with mild soap and make sure that this hand sanitizer does not contain perfume, essential oils, or moisturizers. These will leave a thin layer on your hands and may cause eye irritation or blurred vision if stuck to the lens. Dry your hands with a dry, lint-free cloth.

在接触隐形眼镜之前，用温和型肥皂洗手，确保这种洗手液不含香水、精油或保湿霜。这将在你的手上留下一层薄层，如果粘在晶状体上，可能会导致眼睛不适或视力模糊。用干的，无绒布擦干你的手。

2. If you use products like hairspray, hair conditioner, etc., use them before putting on contact lenses. Also, keep your nails short and smooth to avoid scratching your eyes and lenses.

如果你使用发胶、护发素等产品，请在戴隐形眼镜之前使用。同时，指甲要短而光滑，以免抓伤眼睛和镜片。

3. Only put on eye makeup after wearing lenses and remove makeup before removing lenses.

在佩戴眼镜后再化眼妆，卸妆后再摘眼镜。

4. Some lenses require specialized care products. Therefore, always use disinfectants, eye drops and cleansers that your doctor recommends because some other products will not be suitable for your eyes.

有些镜片需要专门的护理产品。因此，一定要使用医生推荐的消毒剂、眼药水和清洁用品，因为有些产品并不适合你的眼睛。

5. Never put tap water in direct contact with contact lenses, even distilled water is the environment of small bugs that can make your eyes infected and affect your vision.

不要把自来水和隐形眼镜直接接触，即使是蒸馏水也有小虫，会让你的眼睛受到感染，影响你的视力。

6. After each use, gently rub with the index finger with the lens in the palm of the other hand to remove buildup. Then clean the lens with sterile solution or hot water.

每次使用后，用食指在另一只手的手掌上轻轻摩擦镜片，以清除结块。然后用无菌溶液或热水清洗镜片。

二、How to wear contact lenses safely

如何安全佩戴隐形眼镜

1. Wear lenses only during the day and do not wear them for too long (more than 8 hours). Note the lens expiry date to change the lens regularly. Never share lenses with other people because the likelihood of infection will be very high.

只在白天佩戴眼镜，佩戴时间不要太长(超过8小时)。注意镜片的过期日期，定期更换镜片。不要与他人共用眼镜，因为感染的可能性非常高。

2. Don't wear contact lenses while you sleep, unless they are near-sighted overnight lenses because when you close your eyes, your tears will not bring as much oxygen to your eyes as they did when you opened them.

睡觉的时候不要戴隐形眼镜，除非是夜间佩戴的近视眼镜，因为当你闭上眼睛时，你的眼泪不会像睁开眼睛时那样给眼睛带来那么多的氧气。

3. Avoid contact with the mouth of the cleaning solution bottle, such as hands, lenses, or eyes, as the solution will become contaminated.

避免接触清洁液瓶的口部，如手、镜片或眼睛，否则溶液会被污染。

4. When wearing contact lenses, wear an extra UV lens or a wide-brimmed hat to protect your eyes because contact lenses make your eyes more sensitive to light.

戴隐形眼镜时，要戴一个额外的紫外线镜片或一顶宽边帽子来保护你的眼睛，因为隐形眼镜使你的眼睛对光线更敏感。

5. To keep eyes moist, use special eye drops or saline to moisturize.

为了保持眼睛湿润，可以使用特殊的眼药水或生理盐水滋润眼睛。

6. How to wear contact lenses in the right direction: place the lenses on your fingertips so that they look like a bowl. Viewed from the side, if the shape of the lens resembles a U, then the lens is in the right direction. If the lenses are small and spread out at the top, you have placed the lens backwards.

如何正确佩戴隐形眼镜:将隐形眼镜放在指尖，让它看起来像一个碗。从侧面看，如果透镜的形状像一个U，那么透镜的方向是正确的。如果镜头很小并且在顶部散开，那么你已经把镜片放反了。

7. Do not wear contact lenses when swimming even when wearing swimming glasses. Pool or lake water, water, etc. can cause serious eye infections.

游泳时不要戴隐形眼镜，即使是戴游泳眼镜。游泳池或湖水、水等会引起严重的眼部感染。

8. If your eyes are irritated, remove the lenses immediately to avoid infection. Do not reuse the lenses until you have gone to the doctor and know the cause. If you have any signs of itching, blurred vision, flashing lights or red eyes, seek medical attention as soon as possible.

如果眼睛受到刺激，请立即摘除隐形眼镜，以避免感染。在你去看过医生并知道原因之前，不要重复使用这些隐形眼镜。如果你有任何瘙痒、视力模糊、闪烁灯光或眼睛发红的迹象，请尽快就医。
