Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

I am 21 years old. I have been wearing glasses for the past four years. Is it a good time to shift to contact lenses? Also, how can I maintain my eye health? Kindly help.

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

Thank you for your query.

Yes, you can use contact lenses for your eye power. You have to take proper care and maintain its hygiene. Always remove your lenses before sleeping, and store them properly in their container with the proper lens solution. The only thing regarding the progression of your power is to maintain a good diet including green leafy vegetables and have orange, yellow fruits and vegetables. I hope this has helped you. Thank you.

Same symptoms don't mean you have the same problem. Consult a doctor now!
