Listen, the sound of OK mirror shattering! ”Winter care guide, hurry up and arrange it

DATE:2024-12-27   HITS:634

Winter vacation is coming soon

The "mythical beast" at home must turn on the "release" mode

This means that there are parents of myopic children at home

There are more things to worry about

(Everyone who understands understands o(╥_╥)o)



For example, in cold weather

The child's OK mirror is fragile

I really see it in my eyes and it hurts in my heart

Why is this OK mirror so easy to break in winter?


OK The reason why mirrors are fragile


(1) The material of OK mirror is a highly oxygen-permeable polymer, silicon is highly oxygen-permeable but very brittle, no matter what season it is, it is fragile if it is not properly cared for


(2) The OK lens is ultra-thin, with a central thickness of about 0.15-0.24mm (about the diameter of 5 hairs), and should be handled gently


(3) Low temperature in winter, reduced hand flexibility makes it difficult to master the strength



Let's talk about it next

In daily life, the details of the anti-OK mirror shattering

Be sure to tell your child!


Anti-OK mirror shattering - washing


Sometimes, it breaks on my hands while washing, and this heartache really comes unexpectedly.


This may be due to incorrect operation techniques during the cleaning process: such as excessive force, uneven lens force, nail contact with lenses, etc., will cause lens damage.


Correct operation method: cut nails frequently, drip in the care solution, touch the lens with the pad of the ring finger, and clean. When rinsing with saline, put the index and middle fingers together, place the lens in the center, and gently scrub the lens with the thumb to rinse off the residual care solution.


Prevention in advance:

Before cleaning, check the length of the nails, confirm whether the water temperature is suitable (about 10-20 degrees), and strictly follow the above methods to keep the force moderate.



The anti-OK mirror shattered - the box shattered


OK mirror washing is fine, with a snap, but it is crushed when tightening the lid of the box, or it is too hard when put down, and it breaks again! Who understands the pain in this heart!

Correct operation: hold the lens with the pad of your finger, separate the lens box card slot and gently put the lens in, confirm that the lens is placed in the center of the lens case, and then close the lid tightly to avoid being crushed by the cover.


Prevention in advance:

Gently touch the lens with the pads of your fingers, do not press on the lens, check whether the position of the lens is correct, and avoid covering the lens when the lens is still on the edge of the lens box.



The anti-OK mirror is shattered - the suction rod is shattered


When using a suction stick to take the lens, pinch the edge of the lens and pull the lens vertically upwards, and the result is broken in front of you.....


Correct operation method: hold the suction stick in the left hand, the pad of the thumb of the right hand against the concave surface of the lens, hold the convex surface of the lens with the index finger, buckle the lens on the pad of the finger, and gently move the suction stick or lens to slide the lens parallel down from the suction stick.


Prevention in advance:

When removing the lens, do not pinch the lens, do not pull it hard.



The anti-OK mirror is shattered - crushed


I didn't hold the lens steadily and dropped, and when I got up to look for it, I accidentally crushed it, listen! This is the sound of the OK mirror shattering! What is broken together is the heart at this moment.


Correct operation:

First keep it still, don't move your feet, stools, etc. to look for near and far, you can use all the surrounding items, flashlights to illuminate, generally reflective lenses.


Prevention in advance:

Before operation, spread a light-colored towel that does not shed on the edge of the table, and take off the mirror next to the edge of the table.



Proper care for OK lenses in winter


1. Pay attention to hand temperature

Before taking off the lenses, wash your hands with warm water and then touch the lenses after washing your hands warmly. When washing your glasses, please smooth your nails and wash them carefully.


2. Storage of care solution and mirror box

Please store the care solution and mirror box indoors at 10-20 degrees, and do not place them outdoors with low temperatures or in places with high temperatures such as heating and air conditioning outlets.


3. Take and release the mirror

When taking out and putting the lens back from the slot lens case, do not push and pull it hard, first stretch the card slots on both sides, and then gently wrap the lens with your index finger and thumb, and take it out or put in the lens in parallel.

When placing the lens in the hydrogen peroxide case, place the lens concave side down in the center of the case, not to the edge. When closing the lid, secure the lens case and then gently close the lens basket in parallel to prevent the lens from moving and getting stuck in the lens, causing the lens to crack.
