Are medications and the tanning device compatible?
It is known that some medicaments increase the skin’s sensitivity to UV light.
This probability is particularly high with antibiotics, sulphonamides, psychiatric
drugs, tranquillizers, anti-diabetes treatments and diuretics. Sun creams
which contain psorale or kumarin also increase skin sensitivity. If you are in
any doubt, first ask your doctor - then you can enjoy the sun at no risk.
Contact lenses in the tanning device?
The answer is: Yes! Like any other tanning device user, contact lens wearers
should also wear special protective goggles which protect the eyes against
UV radiation. To guarantee better protection, wearers of spectacles and con-
tact lenses can ask their optician for exchange contact lenses with UV protec-
tion. The UV-A and UV-B filters built into exchange contact lenses will protect
the cornea and the internal parts of the eye against almost 100 % of the ener-
gy in UV radiation.
This will benefit tanning device users not only in the open air, but on the tan-
ning device itself. You can wear these contact lenses on the tanning device
without any restrictions. For more information, ask your optician or optome-
trist.
