Contact lenses offer a popular alternative to glasses for vision correction, providing convenience and freedom. Additionally, colored and enlarging contact lenses are widely used for cosmetic purposes, even by those without vision problems.
While contact lenses offer vision correction and boost confidence, improper use—such as choosing substandard lenses, incorrect handling, or inadequate hygiene—can lead to serious eye damage, potentially requiring surgery or permanent vision loss.
While artificial tears can help with mild dry eyes, persistent dryness or ineffectiveness of eye drops may indicate an underlying problem.
Symptoms like eye irritation, redness, sticky discharge, or protein deposits on the eye and lens signal inflammation of the cornea and conjunctiva, potentially leading to blurred vision.
These bumps significantly impact daily life, often accompanied by redness, irritation, light sensitivity, and even drooping eyelids.
These indicate an inflamed corneal epithelium, resulting in lesions or bruising due to dry eyes. They can also be caused by allergies, prolonged wear, or substandard lenses with low water content or poor oxygen permeability. Multiple small spots can merge into a large, easily infected wound, which is very dangerous.
Excessive eye discharge and pus in the anterior chamber are signs of corneal infection. An ophthalmologist might find white spots, cloudiness, thinning, or swelling of the cornea. This is common and can stem from various causes, including poor lens hygiene, substandard lens quality, contaminated or expired cleaning solutions, or overnight wear.
It is crucial to consult an ophthalmologist for an eye exam and to choose appropriate contact lenses. Always follow their instructions for wear and care strictly to ensure safety and prevent eye damage.
