Many people wear contact lenses because of vision problems or to improve their vision, but some people also wear them to look beautiful. The question now arises as to whether or not this causes damage to the cornea. Most of these risks are more likely than others, because many people do not take proper care of their contact lenses. Today, we will explain in our article how to take care of them.
Risks of contact lenses
Infection: This is one of the most common risks of wearing contact lenses. When we spoke to Dr. Alpa Atul Purbia, MS, FLVPEI, DO, MBBS (Refractive (LASIK), Cataract & Cornea Surgeon) of Apollo Spectra Hospitals, he said that if contact lenses are not cleaned properly, if done properly, bacteria and fungi can easily grow on the lenses.
Infection with these substances can seriously damage your cornea – the clear front part of your eye. Symptoms of infection can include redness, pain, discharge and blurred vision.
Corneal problem: Your contact lenses can sometimes scratch your cornea. This mainly happens if your lenses don’t fit properly or if you handle them roughly. Even a small scratch can be very irritating and lead to serious problems if not treated properly.
Low oxygen flow: Your cornea receives oxygen directly from the air. This does not happen through blood vessels. To some extent, contact lenses block this oxygen supply to the eyes, especially when used continuously for long periods of time. Lack of oxygen can also cause the cornea to become vascularized, which is normally avascular, to maintain clarity of vision.
How to use contact lenses
Keep Everything Clean: Cleanliness is of the utmost importance when it comes to handling your contact lenses. You should always wash your hands with soap and water before touching your lenses; this can cause bacteria and other types of infections. Special attention should be paid to the cleanliness of the lens.
