Putting on eyelash extensions means taking your appearance to the next level. But in return, you will have to enjoy your beauty with a bit of care. If you’ve ever wondered if you can wear contacts with lash extensions, we are so glad you asked this question – you pay close attention to lash health!
In this blog, we will address the most common questions when it comes to wearing contacts with lash extensions and provide some additional tips for gorgeous lash set maintenance.
1. Can you wear contacts with lash extensions?
Yes! If you are wearing contact lenses for better sight and for visual preference, it’s totally fine to get eyelash extensions to enhance your appearance. The simple reason is that the contact lenses don’t interfere with extensions or the functions of the adhesive used. Moreover, the contacts can even make your eye color match your lash extension style and color as well. Therefore, the use of contacts with lash extensions might be a wise choice to enhance your beauty.
2. Can you wear contacts while getting lash extensions?
Although it’s okay to wear eyelash extensions while having contacts on, it’s advisable to remove the lenses while you are in the application process. Since your cornea needs moisture and oxygen to breathe, this access will be limited because you will be asked to close your eyes during the application for safety reasons.
You might’ve known the risks of eye infections when sleeping with contacts in, and it can happen when you have contacts and close your eyes for a 2-2.5 hour lash session too. Therefore, it’s important to say it again: it’s recommended to remove the lenses whenever having a lash appointment. You should bring the eye drops and lens case with you, or you can remove the contacts at home and use glasses when going to the lash studio, which are stored more easily.
3. How long after lash extensions can I wear contacts?
The answer is that you can put them on as soon as the lash appointment is over, as you don’t need to close your eyes anymore.
4. How to put in contact lens with eyelash extensions?
The only thing to be concerned about when putting in the contact lenses is that you should avoid touching the lash extensions. Hence, when placing the lens on the eyeball, your eyes need to be opened as widely as possible. You can pull on the lower eyelid to help your eye open, then insert the lens and leave them naturally settle in. This way, you won’t touch your eyelash extensions – which requires you to be gentle all the time!
5. How to remove contacts with eyelash extensions?
Similar to how you put the contacts in, when you take them off, your eyes should open widely, and you should use one finger to pull on the lower eyelid. There is no best way to take contacts out for everyone. Just do it in your own way, and remember to be as gentle as possible and avoid touching the eyelash extensions – we have to say that again.
Conclusion
It’s actually not very complicated when it comes to dealing with contacts with lash extensions. The key takeaways are to remove them when you have a lash appointment and avoid touching extensions when taking on and off the lenses.
However, whenever you have problems with eyelash extensions and contact lenses, you should still ask your lash artists for advice and instructions. They are always willing to help you.
