The Negative and
Positive Impacts of
Using Contact Lenses
All of women surely want to have a
beautiful appearance. There are many things that we can do to make our
appearance more beautiful. For example, we can do it by using contact lenses.
Nowadays, the using of contact lenses is very familiar for everyone. However,
many people argue that using contact lenses have negative impacts. Are contact
lenses bad or good? We should not judge that contact lenses are bad or good
because some people actually have different arguments about the using of
contact lenses. There are several arguments about the negative and positive
impacts of using contact lenses.
The first argument why people argue
that using contact lenses have negative impacts is contact lenses can make
people uncomfortable. Based on a student of Jakarta’s blog who named Monika Ata,
the user of contact lenses will feel awkward. It happens when they are using
contact lenses at the first time. They will feel something strange in their eyes,
so they are only busy to think about contact lenses in their eyes. The sense of
discomfort in their eyes will surely interrupt their daily activities.
The second argument why people argue
that using contact lenses have negative impacts is contact lenses will make our
eyes swollen, reddened, and irritation. According to Dr. Charlotte Joslin,
there are sixty three cases which are the result of using contact lenses. These
cases usually happen about two until three cases every year. It also has given evidences
that contact lenses will increase the risk of irritation in the eyes. Moreover,
the user of contact lenses has sensitive eyes.
The third argument why people argue
that using contact lenses have negative impacts is contact lenses will involve blindness.
Based on Monika Ata’s blog, contact lenses can cause blindness. For example,
the user of contact lenses forgets to remove their contact lenses. While they
are sleeping, it will be harmful to their eyes because contact lenses will move
in their eyes, so when they wake up, their vision will be blurred and it can cause
blindness over time. In addition, according to merderka.com, a student of Taiwan who uses contact lenses never
removes it within six months. Moreover, she uses contact lenses when she is
swimming. As a result, she gets blindness.
The last argument why people argue that
using contact lenses have negative impacts is the lack of oxygen. According to JapanShop.com, our eyes need oxygen
because it will work well in the condition of sufficient oxygen. The lack of
oxygen in the eyes can be caused by using of contact lenses. The user of
contact lenses who uses it for a long time will reduce the content of water in
the eyes, so it makes eyes dry out.
Some people disagree with these
arguments. They argue that using contact lenses have positive impacts.
According to WordPress.com, contact
lenses can help the vision, especially for people who suffer nearsighted. For
instance, Ayu Chintia, a midwife student. She has been using glasses since she
was in elementary school and she is using contact lenses now. She said, “contact
lenses provide assistance to my vision. It can also minimize the distance of
eyes until I get better sharpness of my eyes. In addition, the corner of my
vision is wider because contact lenses immediately attach in the eyes. I do not
need to use glasses anymore.”
Another positive impact is contact lenses
can increase self-confidence for the user. Based on a student of Jakarta’s blog
named Fitriana Lestari, women have no self-confidence if they are using
glasses. They can use contact lenses to get back their self-confidence.
Furthermore, most of people who have small eyes can use contact lenses. As a
result, their eyes can be more beautiful.
The last argument why people argue
that using contact lenses have positive impacts is people can support their daily
activities. A student of Gunadarma University who named Wati Puspitasari, said
that people who have specific job usually needs contact lenses, so they can be
free to move. For example, athletes, dancers, singers, artists, and people who
work in rainy. They will be free to do whatever they want by using contact lenses
than using glasses.
To sum up, there are many impacts of contact
lenses: negative impacts and positive impacts. However, the impact of contact
lenses can be negative or positive. It depends on the user of contact lenses.
Their way in using and keeping their contact lenses really affect themselves.
The user of contact lenses should be diligent to keep their eyes health. One of
them is by checking their eyes health and doing consultation with the doctor.
