There are countless contact lens wearers everywhere. While contacts are instant solutions to blurry vision, many wearers still experience difficulties.
While some use them without any issues, some also find it difficult to continue wearing them due to symptoms such as frequent redness (hyperemia), a gritty sensation (foreign body sensation), or dryness. Some of these individuals may have pre-existing dry eye or allergies that make them unsuitable for contact lens use, while others experience complications due to improper usage.
By gaining proper knowledge about contact lenses and ocular complications, we can strive to eliminate troubles associated with contact lens wear.
Your cornea is the clear, 0.5 mm-thick outer layer of your eye. Its surface is covered by corneal epithelial cells, which are kept healthy and protected from irritation by your natural tears.
When you wear contact lenses, the lenses themselves can sometimes scratch or damage these cells directly. Additionally, lenses can cause your eyes to become drier, making the surface of the eye more vulnerable to injury.
Most importantly, when the cornea is damaged, it becomes easier for germs to enter the eye, which can lead to painful and risky infections.
That’s why most doctors recommend having LASIK, or an applicable vision correction procedure, to patients to bring them much comfort minus the hassles and dangers of contacts.
