Can you wear contact lenses in severe frost?

Many beginners try to find out if they can wear lenses in severe frost before purchasing them. Doctors and specialists involved in lens production have been informed that they are simply impossible to use at sufficiently low air temperatures. According to patients, this information is discussed in the media and on the internet.

Specialists assure that this problem poses virtually no threat to residents of Russia. In most regions of Russia, winter air temperatures have no impact on wearing lenses: “The temperature in our eye reaches about 35°C, and the upper eyelid reliably protects our eye even in the harshest frosts,” doctors assure. In cases where the air temperature drops to -45–50°C (which is observed in the Far North), the dryness of the air and the mucous membrane inside our eyes increases.

Wearing lenses in extreme conditions is not recommended, as it may lead to their premature wear and vision problems. For residents of Siberia and the Far North suffering from poor eyesight, it is recommended to wear protective masks over glasses and contact lenses. However, most regions of the Russian Federation are rarely subject to extremely low temperatures, so all patients can wear contact lenses in winter without fear.

If you experience symptoms of “dry eye,” doctors recommend purchasing contact lenses made from materials containing hydrogel and silicone, such as “1-Day ACUVUE TruEye” and “ACUVUE OASYS”. These lenses consist of polyvinylpyrrolidone, which ensures the necessary moisture and material quality. ACUVUE brand contact lenses have effectively addressed “dry eye” symptoms for many years.

Thanks to modern equipment and innovations in the field of contact optics and ophthalmology, the range has significantly expanded: every client can individually select lenses for both regular and short-term wear. The quality of the materials used to produce ACUVUE contact lenses allows clients to eliminate discomfort and enjoy wearing any lenses for high-quality vision correction.
