My lenses suddenly feel dry and irritating even though I used the same brand for years. I am in 6th month and eyes feel more sensitive. Did pregnancy change anyone's lens comfort?
Oh my god, like everything else, even my eyes felt weird! I was already struggling with cravings and feeling sleepy, and then suddenly my lenses were acting up too. I think it's just the hormones playing havoc with everything, even eye fluid! Maybe it's an excuse to wear cute glasses? Haha.
Yes, actually! I also wear contact lenses, and during my pregnancy, I felt my eyes got a bit drier and sometimes the lenses felt uncomfortable. I switched to glasses for some days, but it wasn't a huge problem. It usually goes back to normal after delivery, so don't stress too much about it.
Pregnancy brings so many changes to your body, and yes, even your eyes can be affected. I had gestational diabetes, and my doctor told me that changes in fluid retention and corneal thickness can impact how contact lenses fit. It's really important to keep your eyes checked and talk to your eye doctor or gynac.
Girl, I totally get it, morning sickness made me feel awful enough, and then my contacts started bothering me too! My eyes felt so dry and irritated. I just wore my glasses more often because trying to put lenses in when you're feeling nauseous is a big NO. It's quite common for eyes to change during pregnancy due to hormones.
Haan, contact lenses can definitely feel different during pregnancy. Hormones can cause changes in your eyes like dryness or changes in vision. It's always best to check with your gynaecologist or an eye specialist. They can advise you on whether to continue wearing them or if glasses would be a safer option for a while.
