Kubantu abangaboni kakuhle, iilensi zokunxibelelana zihlala ziyinxalenye ebalulekileyo yobomi bemihla ngemihla. Ngokutsho kwe-American Academy of Ophthalmology, ilensi yokunxibelelana yidiski yeplastiki ecacileyo ebekwa phezu kweliso ukuphucula umbono womntu. Ngokungafaniyo neeglasi, ezi lensi zincinci zihlala phezu kwefilimu yokukrazula yeliso, egubungela kwaye ikhusele i-cornea yeliso. Okona kulungileyo, iilensi zokunxibelelana aziyi kubonwa, zincede abantu babone ngcono.
Iilensi zoqhagamshelwano zinokulungisa iintlobo ngeentlobo zeengxaki zokubona, kuquka ukubona kufutshane kunye nokubona kude (ngokutsho kweNational Eye Institute). Ngokuxhomekeke kuhlobo kunye nobunzima bokulahlekelwa kukubona, kukho iintlobo ezahlukeneyo zeelensi zoqhagamshelwano ezikulungeleyo. Iilensi zoqhagamshelwano ezithambileyo zezona ziqhelekileyo, zinika ukuguquguquka kunye nentuthuzelo ekhethwa ngabaninzi abanxiba iilensi zoqhagamshelwano. Iilensi zonxibelelwano eziqinileyo zinzima kuneelensi zonxibelelwano ezithambileyo kwaye zinokuba nzima kwabanye abantu ukuziqhelanisa. Nangona kunjalo, ukuqina kwazo kunokucothisa ukuqhubela phambili kwe-myopia, kulungise i-astigmatism, kwaye kubonelele ngombono ocacileyo (ngokutsho kweHealthline).
Nangona iilensi zoqhagamshelwano zinokwenza ubomi bube lula kubantu abangaboni kakuhle, zifuna unonophelo nokugcinwa ukuze zisebenze kakuhle. Ukuba awulandeli izikhokelo zokucoca, ukugcina, kunye nokutshintsha iilensi zoqhagamshelwano (ngeCleveland Clinic), impilo yamehlo akho inokuba sengozini. Nantsi into ekufuneka uyazi malunga neelensi zonxibelelwano.
Ukutsibela echibini okanye ukuhamba elunxwemeni unxibe iilensi zokunxibelelana kunokubonakala kungeyona nto inobungozi, kodwa impilo yamehlo akho inokuba sengozini. Akukhuselekanga ukunxiba iilensi zokunxibelelana emehlweni akho ngelixa udada, njengoko iilensi zifunxa amanzi athile angena emehlweni akho kwaye zinokuqokelela iintsholongwane, iintsholongwane, iikhemikhali kunye neentsholongwane eziyingozi (nge-Healthline). Ukuvezwa kwamehlo ixesha elide kwezi ntsholongwane kunokukhokelela kusulelo lwamehlo, ukudumba, ukurhawuzelelwa, ukoma, kunye nezinye iingxaki zamehlo eziyingozi.
Kodwa kuthekani ukuba awukwazi ukucima oonxibelelwano bakho? Abantu abaninzi abane-presbyopia abakwazi ukubona ngaphandle kwee-contact lenses okanye iiglasi, kwaye iiglasi azifanelekanga ukudada okanye imidlalo yasemanzini. Amabala amanzi abonakala ngokukhawuleza kwiiglasi, ziyaxobuka okanye zintante ngokulula.
Ukuba kufuneka unxibe iilensi zokunxibelelana ngelixa udada, i-Optometrist Network icebisa ukunxiba iiglasi zokujonga ukuze ukhusele iilensi zakho, uzisuse kwangoko emva kokudada, ubulale iintsholongwane kwiilensi zokunxibelelana emva kokuba zidibene namanzi, kwaye usebenzise amathontsi amanzi ukuze uthintele amehlo omileyo. Nangona la macebiso engazukuqinisekisa ukuba awuyi kuba nangxaki, anokunciphisa umngcipheko wakho wokuba nosulelo lwamehlo.
Ungawuqwalasela kakhulu umsebenzi wakho wokucoca nokubulala iintsholongwane kwiilensi zoqhagamshelwano ngaphambi nasemva kokunxiba. Nangona kunjalo, iilensi zonxibelelwano ezihlala zingahoywa nazo kufuneka zibe yinxalenye ebalulekileyo yokhathalelo lwamehlo akho. Ukuba awuzinyamekeli iikheyisi zakho zelensi zonxibelelwano, iintsholongwane eziyingozi zinokukhula ngaphakathi zize zingene emehlweni akho (ngeVisionworks).
I-American Optometric Association (AOA) icebisa ukucoca iilensi zokunxibelelana emva kokusetyenziswa ngakunye, ukuzivula nokuzomisa xa zingasetyenziswa, kunye nokutshintsha iilensi zokunxibelelana rhoqo emva kweenyanga ezintathu. Ukulandela la manyathelo kuya kunceda ukugcina amehlo akho esempilweni ngokuqinisekisa ukuba iilensi zakho zokunxibelelana zicocekile kwaye zigcinwe kwisikhongozeli esicocekileyo nesitsha emva kokusetyenziswa ngakunye.
I-Visionworks ikwakuxelela indlela yokucoca ngokufanelekileyo iikheyiphu zelensi yoqhagamshelwano. Okokuqala, lahla isisombululo soqhagamshelwano esisetyenzisiweyo, esinokuba neebhaktheriya eziyingozi kunye nezinto ezibangela ukucaphuka. Emva koko hlamba izandla zakho ukuze ususe naziphi na iintsholongwane eluswini lwakho ezinokungena kwibhokisi yoqhagamshelwano. Emva koko yongeza ulwelo loqhagamshelwano olucocekileyo kwikheyiphu uze uhambise iminwe yakho phezu kwendawo yokugcina kunye nesiciko ukuze ukhulule kwaye ususe naziphi na iintsalela. Yithulule kwaye uhlambe umzimba ngesisombululo esaneleyo de zonke iintsalela ziphele. Ekugqibeleni, beka ikheyiphu ijonge phantsi, yivumele yome ngokupheleleyo, kwaye uyivale kwakhona xa yomile.
Kunokuba yinto enomtsalane ukuthenga iilensi zokuhombisa okanye ukuze zihombise okanye zibe nefuthe elimangalisayo, kodwa ukuba awunayo incwadi kagqirha, ungagqibela uhlawula ixabiso lemiphumo ebiza kakhulu nebuhlungu. I-US Food & Drug Administration (FDA) ilumkisa ngokuthenga izinto ezithengiswa ngaphandle kwekhawuntara ukuthintela ukwenzakala kwamehlo okunokwenzeka xa unxibe iilensi ezingalingani kakuhle namehlo akho. I-US Food & Drug Administration (FDA) ilumkisa ngokuthenga izinto ezithengiswa ngaphandle kwekhawuntara ukuthintela ukwenzakala kwamehlo okunokwenzeka xa unxibe iilensi ezingalingani kakuhle namehlo akho.I-US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) ilumkisa ngokuthenga iilensi zokunxibelelana ezithengiswa ngaphandle kwekhawuntara ukuthintela ukwenzakala kwamehlo okunokwenzeka xa unxibe iilensi ezingafanelaniyo namehlo akho.I-US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) ilumkisa ngokuthenga iilensi zokunxibelelana ezithengiswa ngaphandle kwekhawuntara ukuthintela ukwenzakala kwamehlo okunokwenzeka xa unxibe iilensi ezingafanelaniyo namehlo akho.
Umzekelo, ukuba ezi lensi zobuhle azilingani okanye azilingani namehlo akho, unokufumana imikrwelo ye-cornea, usulelo lwe-cornea, i-conjunctivitis, ukulahleka kokubona, kwanokuba yimfama. Ukongeza, iilensi zokunxibelelana ezihonjisiweyo zihlala zingenamiyalelo yokuzicoca okanye yokuzinxiba, nto leyo enokubangela iingxaki zokubona.
I-FDA ikwathi akukho mthethweni ukuthengisa iilensi zokuhombisa ngaphandle kwencwadi kagqirha. Iilensi azifakwanga kudidi lwemveliso zokuhombisa okanye ezinye iimveliso ezinokuthengiswa ngaphandle kwencwadi kagqirha. Naziphi na iilensi zokunxibelelana, nokuba ezo zingalungisi umbono, zifuna incwadi kagqirha kwaye zingathengiswa kuphela ngabathengisi abagunyazisiweyo.
Ngokutsho kwenqaku le-American Optometric Association, uMongameli we-AOA uRobert S. Layman, u-OD uthe, “Kubaluleke kakhulu ukuba izigulana zibone ugqirha wamehlo kwaye zinxibe iilensi zokunxibelelana kuphela, nokuba zinokulungiswa okanye azinazo.” Kufuneka unxibe iilensi ezinombala, qiniseka ukuba ubona ugqirha wamehlo kwaye ufumane iresiphi kagqirha.
Nangona kusenokumangalisa ukuqonda ukuba ilensi yakho yokunxibelelana isuke yaya ngasemva kweliso lakho, kodwa ayibambekanga apho. Nangona kunjalo, emva kokukhuhla, ukubetha okanye ukuchukumisa iliso ngengozi, ilensi yokunxibelelana ingasuka endaweni yayo. Ilensi idla ngokufudukela phezulu kweliso, phantsi kwejwabu, ikushiya uzibuza ukuba ihambe phi kwaye uzama ngamandla ukuyikhupha.
Iindaba ezimnandi zezokuba ilensi yoqhagamshelwano ayinakunamathela ngasemva kweliso (nge-All About Vision). Umaleko wangaphakathi omanzi phantsi kweliso, obizwa ngokuba yi-conjunctiva, ngokwenene ugoba ngaphezulu kweliso, ugobe umva, kwaye ugqume umaleko wangaphandle weliso. Kudliwanondlebe ne-Self, umongameli onyuliweyo we-AOA u-Andrea Tau, OD ucacisa athi, “I-membrane [ye-conjunctival] idlula kumhlophe weliso naphezulu nangaphantsi kweliso, idala isikhwama esijikeleze umjikelezo weliso.” ngasemva kweliso, kuquka iilensi zoqhagamshelwano ezikhazimlayo.
Oko kuthethiweyo, akufuneki woyike ukuba amehlo akho aphelelwa kukunxibelelana ngequbuliso. Ungayisusa ngokufaka amaconsi ambalwa okufunxa ulusu uze uluphulule kancinci phezulu kweliso lakho de ilensi iwe kwaye ungayisusa (ngokutsho kwe-All About Vision).
Uphelelwa sisisombululo sokuchukumisa kwaye ungenalo ixesha lokubaleka uye evenkileni? Ungacingi nangokusebenzisa kwakhona isicoci seekese. Nje ukuba iilensi zakho zokuchukumisa zifakwe kwisisombululo, zinokuba neebhaktheriya ezibangela usulelo kunye nezinto ezibangela ukurhawuzelelwa eziyingozi eziya kungcolisa iilensi zakho kuphela ukuba uzama ukusebenzisa isisombululo kwakhona (ngeVisionworks).
I-FDA ikwalumkisa malunga "nokuyekisa" isisombululo esele sisetyenziswa kwimeko yakho. Nokuba wongeza isisombululo esitsha kulwelo lwakho olusetyenzisiweyo, isisombululo asiyi kuba sesicocekileyo ukuze kubulawe iintsholongwane ngokufanelekileyo kwiilensi zoqhagamshelwano. Ukuba awunaso isisombululo esaneleyo sokucoca nokugcina iilensi zakho ngokukhuselekileyo, kwixesha elizayo xa ugqiba ekubeni unxibe iilensi zoqhagamshelwano, kungcono uzilahle uze uthenge isibini esitsha.
I-AOA yongeza ngelithi kubalulekile ukulandela imiyalelo yokhathalelo enikwe ngumvelisi wesisombululo seelensi zoqhagamshelwano. Ukuba kucetyiswa ukuba ugcine iilensi zakho zoqhagamshelwano kwisisombululo ixesha elithile, kufuneka uzivale ngokweshedyuli, nokuba awunanjongo yokunxiba iilensi zonxibelelwano. Ngokwesiqhelo, iilensi zakho zonxibelelwano zigcinwa kwisisombululo esifanayo kangangeentsuku ezingama-30. Emva koko, kuya kufuneka ulahle ezo lensi ukuze ufumane ezintsha.
Enye ingcamango eqhelekileyo abantu abaninzi abanxiba iilensi zoqhagamshelwano bayenzayo kukuba amanzi ayindawo ekhuselekileyo yokugcina iilensi zoqhagamshelwano xa kungekho sisombululo. Nangona kunjalo, ukusebenzisa amanzi, ingakumbi amanzi empompini, ukucoca okanye ukugcina iilensi zonxibelelwano akulunganga. Amanzi anokuba nezinto ezahlukeneyo ezingcolisayo, iibhaktheriya kunye nefungi ezingonakalisa impilo yamehlo akho (nge-All About Vision).
Ngokukodwa, intsholongwane ebizwa ngokuba yi-Acanthamoeba, efumaneka rhoqo emanzini empompini, inokunamathela ngokulula kumphezulu weelensi zoqhagamshelwano ize yosulele amehlo xa enxityiwe (ngokutsho kwe-US Environmental Protection Agency). Usulelo lwamehlo olubandakanya i-Acanthamoeba emanzini empompini lunokubangela iimpawu ezibuhlungu, kuquka ukungonwabi okukhulu kwamehlo, imvakalelo yomzimba wangaphandle ngaphakathi kweliso, kunye namabala amhlophe ajikeleze umphetho wangaphandle weliso. Nangona iimpawu zinokuhlala ukusuka kwiintsuku ezimbalwa ukuya kwiinyanga, iliso alipholi ngokupheleleyo, nokuba lunyango.
Nokuba kukho amanzi acocekileyo empompini kwindawo okuyo, kungcono ukuba ukhuselekile kunokuba uxole. Sebenzisa iilensi zokunxibelelana kuphela ukugcina iilensi okanye ukukhetha isibini esitsha.
Abantu abaninzi abanxiba iilensi zokunxibelelana bayandisa ixesha labo lokunxiba benethemba lokonga imali okanye baphephe ukuya kugqirha wamehlo kwakhona. Nangona oku kusenzeka ngengozi, ukungalandeli ishedyuli yokutshintshwa kwemithi kagqirha kunokuba yingxaki kwaye kwandisa umngcipheko wosulelo lwamehlo kunye nezinye iingxaki zempilo yamehlo (nge-Optometrist Network).
Njengoko i-Optometrist Network ichaza, ukunxiba iilensi zonxibelelwano ixesha elide kakhulu okanye ngaphaya kwexesha elicetyiswayo lokunxiba kunokunciphisa ukuhamba kweoksijini kwi-cornea nakwimithambo yegazi esweni. Iziphumo ziqala kwiimpawu ezibuthathaka ezifana namehlo omileyo, ukurhawuzelelwa, ukungonwabi kwelensi, kunye namehlo abomvu ukuya kwiingxaki ezinzulu ezifana nezilonda ze-cornea, usulelo, amanxeba e-cornea, kunye nokulahlekelwa ngumbono.
Uphononongo olupapashwe kwijenali i-Optometry and Vision Science lufumanise ukuba ukunxiba kakhulu iilensi zonxibelelwano yonke imihla kunokukhokelela ekuqokeleleni kweproteni kwiilensi, nto leyo enokubangela ukurhawuzelelwa, ukuncipha kokubona, ukwanda kwamaqhuqhuva amancinci kwiinkophe ezibizwa ngokuba yi-conjunctival papillae, kunye nomngcipheko wosulelo. Ukuze uphephe ezi ngxaki zamehlo, soloko ulandela ishedyuli yokunxiba iilensi zonxibelelwano kwaye uzitshintshe ngamaxesha acetyiswayo.
Ugqirha wakho wamehlo uya kuhlala ecebisa ukuba uhlambe izandla zakho ngaphambi kokuba unxibe iilensi zokunxibelelana. Kodwa uhlobo lwesepha oyisebenzisayo ukuhlamba izandla zakho lunokwenza umahluko omkhulu xa kufikwa kukhathalelo lwelensi kunye nempilo yamehlo. Iintlobo ezininzi zesepha zinokuba neekhemikhali, iioyile ezibalulekileyo, okanye izinto zokuthambisa ezinokungena kwiilensi zokunxibelelana kwaye zibangele ukurhawuzelelwa kwamehlo ukuba azihlanjwanga kakuhle (ngokutsho kweNational Keratoconus Foundation). Intsalela inokwenza ifilimu kwiilensi zokunxibelelana, ifiphalise umbono.
I-Optometrist Network icebisa ukuba uhlambe izandla zakho ngesepha engabangeli vumba ngaphambi kokuba ufake okanye ukhulule iilensi zakho zokunxibelelana. Nangona kunjalo, i-American Academy of Ophthalmology ithi isepha yokufumisa ikhuselekile ukuyisebenzisa logama nje uhlamba kakuhle isepha ezandleni zakho ngaphambi kokuba ufake iilensi zokunxibelelana. Ukuba unamehlo abuthathaka kakhulu, ungafumana nezibulali zinambuzane kwimarike ezenzelwe ngokukodwa ukusebenza neelensi zokunxibelelana.
Ukusebenzisa i-makeup ngelixa unxibe iilensi zokunxibelelana kunokuba nzima kwaye kusenokuthatha umkhwa othile ukugcina imveliso ingangeni emehlweni akho nakwiilensi zokunxibelelana. Ezinye izinto zokuthambisa zinokushiya ifilimu okanye intsalela kwiilensi zokunxibelelana enokubangela ukurhawuzelelwa xa zibekwe phantsi kwelensi. Izinto zokuthambisa amehlo, kuquka i-eye shadow, i-eyeliner, kunye ne-mascara, zinokuba yingxaki ngakumbi kubantu abanxibe iilensi zokunxibelelana kuba zinokungena lula emehlweni okanye ziphume (nge-CooperVision).
I-Johns Hopkins Medicine ithi ukunxiba izinto zokuthambisa ezinee-contact lenses kunokubangela ukurhawuzelelwa kwamehlo, ukoma, i-allergies, usulelo lwamehlo, kwanokwenzakala ukuba awulumkanga. Eyona ndlela ilungileyo yokuphepha ezi mpawu kukuhlala unxiba ii-contact lenses phantsi kwe-makeup, sebenzisa uphawu oluthembekileyo lwe-hypoallergenic cosmetics, uphephe ukwabelana ngezithambiso, kwaye uphephe i-glittering eyeshadow. I-L'Oreal Paris ikwacebisa i-eyeliner ekhanyayo, i-mascara engangeni manzi eyenzelwe amehlo anobuthathaka, kunye ne-liquid eyeshadow ukunciphisa i-powder fallout.
Ayizizo zonke izisombululo zeelensi zoqhagamshelwano ezifanayo. Ezi ncindi zingenazintsholongwane zingasebenzisa izithako ezahlukeneyo ukubulala iintsholongwane nokucoca iilensi, okanye ukubonelela ngentuthuzelo eyongezelelweyo kwabo basweleyo. Umzekelo, ezinye iintlobo zeelensi zoqhagamshelwano onokuzifumana kwimarike ziquka iilensi zonxibelelwano ezisetyenziselwa iinjongo ezininzi, iilensi zonxibelelwano zamehlo ezomileyo, iilensi zonxibelelwano zehydrogen peroxide, kunye neenkqubo zokhathalelo lweelensi eziqinileyo (nge-Healthline).
Abantu abanamehlo abuthathaka okanye abo banxiba iintlobo ezithile zeelensi zoqhagamshelwano baya kufumanisa ukuba ezinye iilensi zonxibelelwano zisebenza ngcono kunezinye. Ukuba ufuna isisombululo esingabizi kakhulu sokubulala iintsholongwane kunye nokufumisa iilensi zakho, isisombululo esisetyenziselwa izinto ezininzi sinokuba silungele wena. Kubantu abanamehlo abuthathaka okanye abane-allergies, ungathenga isisombululo se-saline esithambileyo sokuhlamba iilensi zonxibelelwano ngaphambi nasemva kokubulala iintsholongwane ukuze ufumane intuthuzelo efanelekileyo (ngokutsho kweMedical News Today).
Isisombululo se-hydrogen peroxide lolunye ukhetho ukuba isisombululo esisebenza kuzo zonke izinto sibangela ukusabela okanye ukungakhululeki. Nangona kunjalo, kufuneka usebenzise ityesi ekhethekileyo eza nesisombululo, esiguqula i-hydrogen peroxide ibe yi-saline ecocekileyo kwiiyure ezimbalwa (ivunyiwe yi-FDA). Ukuba uzama ukubuyisela iilensi ngaphambi kokuba i-hydrogen peroxide ingasebenzi, amehlo akho aya kutsha kwaye i-cornea yakho inokonakala.
Wakuba ufumene umyalelo wakho welensi yokunxibelelana, ungaziva ukulungele ukuphila. Nangona kunjalo, abantu abanxibe lensi yokunxibelelana kufuneka bahlolwe minyaka le ukuze babone ukuba amehlo abo atshintshile na kwaye ukuba iilensi zokunxibelelana zezona zilungileyo na ngohlobo lwabo lokulahlekelwa kukubona. Uvavanyo olupheleleyo lwamehlo lukwanceda ekuchongeni izifo zamehlo kunye nezinye iingxaki ezinokukhokelela kunyango lwangethuba kunye nokuphuculwa kombono (nge-CDC).
Ngokutsho kwe-VSP Vision Care, uviwo lwelensi yoqhagamshelwano lwahlukile kwiimviwo zamehlo eziqhelekileyo. Uvavanyo lwamehlo oluqhelekileyo luquka ukujonga umbono womntu kunye nokukhangela iimpawu zeengxaki ezinokubakho. Nangona kunjalo, uvavanyo lwelensi yoqhagamshelwano luquka uhlobo olwahlukileyo lovavanyo ukuze kubonwe ukuba umbono wakho kufuneka ucace kangakanani ngeelensi zoqhagamshelwano. Ugqirha uya kulinganisa nomphezulu weliso lakho ukuze akunike iilensi zoqhagamshelwano ezinobukhulu obufanelekileyo kunye nemilo efanelekileyo. Uya kuba nethuba lokuxoxa ngeendlela zokukhetha ilensi yoqhagamshelwano kwaye umisele ukuba loluphi uhlobo olulungele iimfuno zakho.
Nangona kusenokumangalisa ukuba ugqirha wamehlo ukukhankanya oku, kubalulekile ukwazi ukuba amathe akayondlela icocekileyo okanye ekhuselekileyo yokumanzisa kwakhona iilensi zoqhagamshelwano. Musa ukubamba iilensi zonxibelelwano emlonyeni wakho ukuze uzimanzise kwakhona xa zomile, zicaphukisa amehlo akho, okanye ziwa. Umlomo uzele ziintsholongwane nezinye iintsholongwane ezinokubangela usulelo lwamehlo nezinye iingxaki zamehlo (ngeYahoo News). Kungcono ukulahla iilensi ezineengxaki uze uqale ngesibini esitsha.
Esinye isifo samehlo esivame ukubonwa xa amathe esetyenziselwa ukufumisa iilensi yi-keratitis, oku kukuvuvukala kwe-cornea okubangelwa yibhaktheriya, ifungi, iiparasites, okanye iintsholongwane ezingena elisweni (ngokutsho kweMayo Clinic). Iimpawu ze-keratitis zingabandakanya amehlo abomvu nabuhlungu, amanzi okanye ukuphuma kwamanzi emehlweni, ukubona okufipheleyo, kunye nokwanda kokuziva ukukhanya. Ukuba ubuzama ukufumisa okanye ukucoca iilensi zoqhagamshelwano ngomlomo kwaye uhlangabezana nezi mpawu, lixesha lokwenza idinga nogqirha wakho wamehlo.
Nokuba ucinga ukuba une-prescription efanayo neyomhlobo okanye ilungu losapho, kukho umahluko ngobukhulu bamehlo kunye nokuma kwawo, ngoko ukwabelana ngee-contact lenses akuyongcinga ilungileyo. Ingasathethwa ke into yokuba, ukunxiba ii-contact lenses zomnye umntu emehlweni akho kunokukubeka esichengeni kuzo zonke iintlobo zeebhaktheriya, iintsholongwane, kunye neentsholongwane ezinokukwenza ugule (ngokutsho kukaBausch + Lomb).
Kwakhona, ukunxiba iilensi zoqhagamshelwano ezingafanelaniyo namehlo akho kunokunyusa umngcipheko wakho wokukrazuka kwe-cornea okanye izilonda kunye nosulelo lwamehlo (nge-WUSF Public Media). Ukuba uqhubeka nokunxiba iilensi zoqhagamshelwano ezingafanelekanga, usenokuba nesifo sokunganyamezelani neelensi zoqhagamshelwano (CLI), oko kuthetha ukuba awusayi kukwazi ukunxiba iilensi zonxibelelwano ngaphandle kwentlungu okanye ukungonwabi, nokuba iilensi ozama ukuzifaka zimiselwe wena (ngokutsho kweLaser Eye Institute). Amehlo akho ekugqibeleni aya kwala ukunxiba iilensi zonxibelelwano aze azibone njengezinto zasemzini emehlweni akho.
Xa ucelwa ukuba wabelane ngeelensi zoqhagamshelwano (kuquka iilensi zoqhagamshelwano zokuhombisa), kufuneka uhlale ungenzi njalo ukuze uthintele umonakalo wamehlo kunye nokunganyamezelani kweelensi zoqhagamshelwano kwixesha elizayo.
I-CDC ibika ukuba eyona ndlela ixhaphakileyo yokuzikhusela kwiilensi zoqhagamshelwano kukulala nazo zinxibe. Nokuba udiniwe kangakanani na, kungcono ukuzisusa iilensi zakho zoqhagamshelwano ngaphambi kokuba uzifake ingca. Ukulala kwiilensi zonxibelelwano kunokunyusa amathuba akho okufumana usulelo lwamehlo kunye nezinye iimpawu zeengxaki—nokuba usebenzisa iilensi zonxibelelwano ezigugileyo. Nokuba unxiba luphi uhlobo lweelensi zonxibelelwano, iilensi zinciphisa ukunikezelwa kweoksijini ebalulekileyo emehlweni akho, nto leyo enokuchaphazela impilo yamehlo akho kunye nokubona (ngokutsho kweSleep Foundation).
Ngokutsho kweCleveland Clinic, iilensi zokunxibelelana zinokubangela ukoma, ukubomvu, ukurhawuzelelwa, kunye nomonakalo xa ilensi isuswa ngelixa ibotshelelwe kwi-cornea. Ukulala kwiilensi zokunxibelelana kunokubangela ukosuleleka kwamehlo kunye nomonakalo ongunaphakade wamehlo, kubandakanya i-keratitis, ukudumba kwe-cornea kunye nosulelo lwefungus, yongeze njalo i-Sleep Foundation.
