[사진=게티이미지뱅크]Most of the central region, including Seoul, will be cold, staying below freezing even during the day. There may be occasional rain or snow between dawn and morning, mainly in the western Jeonnam region and Jeju Island. The lowest morning temperature was forecast to be -8 to 1 degrees, and the highest daytime temperature was forecast to be -4 to 5 degrees.
Today’s health = In the dry winter, snow easily becomes dry and stiff. If you wear contact lenses at this time, you need to be especially careful as this can further raise a red flag for your eye health.
Even if it is not winter, wearing contact lenses for a long time can cause eye fatigue. This is because the tear film does not form well due to the lens and oxygen supply is reduced, causing the eyes to become dry and bloodshot. If a dry environment is added to this, these symptoms can become more severe.
Dry eyes are more likely to rub against dust on the eyelids or in the air, resulting in fine wounds. At this time, if you feel a foreign body sensation and rub your eyes with your hands, corneal clouding or corneal loss may occur, and in severe cases, vision may decrease.
To prevent side effects from lenses, it is best to wear glasses even when dryness is severe. It is generally safe to avoid wearing contact lenses for more than 8 hours, and sleeping with contact lenses in particular is absolutely prohibited as there is a risk of corneal edema due to lack of oxygen in the eyes during sleep.
