It is normal to see individuals wearing lenses nowadays as they wish to have a youthful look while correcting their nearsightedness, farsightedness, astigmatism, and presbyopia. However, incorrect lens-wearing behaviour such as being too lazy to use the lens solution can endanger our eyes’ health.
Eyesight is one of our most important senses and therefore we should protect it well. Hence, a high-quality contact lens solution is essential for those wearing lenses as it helps to kill bacteria and keep your contact lenses safe when they come into contact with your eyes. Here are the 16 best contact lens solutions in Malaysia.
Why do we require a contact lens solution?
One of the critical roles of contact lens solutions is to disinfect lenses. The solution’s disinfectant kills germs, bacteria, fungus, and other microorganisms that can cause infection.
Can we use water instead of a contact lens solution?
The concise answer is no. You cannot use water as a replacement for contact lens solutions. It contains microorganisms, some of which can cause serious eye problems and even blindness. Hence, it is a dangerous choice.
