What should a client who wears contact lenses do during an eyelash extension service?

During an eyelash extension service, it is recommended that clients remove their contact lenses for several important reasons. The application process involves the use of adhesives that can emit fumes, and having contact lenses in can increase the risk of irritation to the eyes. Additionally, the presence of contact lenses may hinder proper application, as the technician needs to have unobstructed access to the natural lashes and the delicate eye area.

Moreover, removing contact lenses allows for a safer and more comfortable experience for the client. It minimizes the chance of any adhesive getting on the lenses itself, which could potentially damage them or lead to discomfort upon reinsertion post-service. Keeping this in mind, it’s always better to opt for a clear, unobstructed field during such a procedure, ensuring both the effectiveness of the service and the safety of the client’s eyes.

Using prescription glasses or daily disposable lenses may not address the underlying issue of potential irritation or obstruction during the procedure, which is why removing the contact lenses is the best practice.
