Ophthalmologists recommend avoid using them when flu or fever as the lachrymal glands are even more vulnerable when a person is ill, allergic, or sensible to seasonal changes. These times you should better wear glasses or do not wear them at all. Experts say that it is wise to remove lenses when at home and reduce the total amount of wearing lenses in public. For that reason eye practitioners are against of coloured correction soft lenses that youth wears mostly for fun and produce them only in 0.0 dioptre not to affect your eyes while keeping them on longer.
