Ultimate Tips For Brides Who Wear Contact Lenses On Their Wedding Day!

You may be wearing contact lens for years but wearing contact lens on your wedding day is a whole new world. If this question is hounding you - can I wear contact lenses in my marriage? You have arrived at the right place! Your wedding is the one day when you want your vision to be clear and focused without any glitches. And for that to happen your eyes and your contact lens need to be comfortable at every point of the day. Here are the best tips for brides who opt to wear contact lens on their wedding day!

Get Your Eyes Checked

What should be done to identify contact lens wearers? Get your eyes checked! This is the first thing you should do if you are facing any vision issues in the days going up to your wedding. Even if you wear daily contact lenses, it’s beneficial to get your eyes tested in case there is any change or adjustment that needs to be made!

Wear A Fresh Pair On Your Wedding Day

Whether you wear daily lenses or switch out your contacts every few weeks, you'll want a fresh pair that'll give you the smallest amount of issues as possible on your wedding day.

Do a Contact Lens Rehearsal

Planning to wear colored contacts on wedding day for the first time? We recommend doing a lens rehearsal by trying them out at least one month prior to the wedding day. This gives you time to come up with an alternative should any issues arise.

Know Your Rituals

One of the most asked questions by Indian brides are that is it safe to wear contact lenses near fire. The answer to that question is yes, but it comes with conditions. You have to check what type of lens you are wearing and how close you are to the fire. While most Indian rituals don’t need you to be extremely close or even have smaller fires these days so you should be safe!

Wear Them Before Applying Makeup

Always wear your lens before you or your bridal makeup artist starts your makeup. Wash your hands thoroughly before you wear them. How many hours a day should you wear contact lenses? Wear them for a maximum of 8-10 hours or as recommended by your optician.

Makeup Tips To Take Care Of

If you are wearing contact lens on your wedding day, never apply eyeliner to the inner lid of your eye. This could contaminate your lenses. Also, avoid powder eye shadow, oil-based makeup and fiber mascara, as they can stick to your contacts and irritate your eyes. Oil-based concealers and foundations can make their way into your eyes over the course of the day. Close your eyes when using aerosol sprays, such as hairsprays, while wearing your lenses. Such products may leave a residual film on the lens.

Have Contact Solution On Hand

Weddings mean emotional moments and tears. This can cause discomfort once your eyes are dry. Always have a miniature contact solution or eyes drops in your emergency kit, or give it to your bridesmaid or a trusted family member to have handy in case you need it.

Make An Emergency Kit

While you may have a regular wedding day emergency kit, you should have a mini one for your contact lens as well. Have an extra set of contact lenses that you plan to wear on your wedding day, a bottle of contact solution as well as your glasses. This way if everything goes haywire (which it won’t, we are sure!) you always have your glasses as a backup!
