Can I wear contact lenses while pregnant?

As the fetus develops, women's bodies will gradually change during pregnancy, but women still want to dress themselves as beautifully as possible, and wearing colored contact lenses is one way to beautify oneself. However, it is recommended that pregnant women do not wear colored contact lenses.

This is because after entering pregnancy, as the fetus develops, various aspects of the body will undergo corresponding changes. Also, because the fetus needs to absorb nutrients, the mother's body functions will also decline. The sensitivity of the cornea of ​​the eye also changes during pregnancy. Colored contact lenses achieve the purpose of being worn by coming into contact with the cornea. Therefore, when the cornea is less sensitive during pregnancy, wearing colored contact lenses can often cause dry eyes. Therefore, wearing colored contact lenses during pregnancy may cause damage to the cornea.

In the late stages of pregnancy, the curvature of the cornea of ​​the eye will also change due to the secretion of progesterone and estrogen. The change in the curvature of the cornea will cause the curvature of the contact lenses to not match the curvature of the cornea, resulting in discomfort, often causing redness of the eyes, tears, etc., which is also adversely affecting the health of the pregnancy.
