Wearing contact lenses in a standardized and correct manner as prescribed by the doctor usually does not cause much harm. However, if patients wear contact lenses for a long time or do not pay attention to the related hygiene, it may cause corneal infection, corneal damage, corneal neovascularization and other complications.
1. Corneal infection: When wearing contact lenses, if patients do not pay attention to eye hygiene and lens cleaning, it is easy to cause eye infections such as keratitis, and patients may experience discomfort such as photophobia and conjunctival congestion.
2. Corneal injury: If the patient wears contact lenses, the operation is rough, the nail may damage the corneal epithelium, and the patient may experience eye stinging, photophobia, tearing and other discomfort symptoms.
3. Corneal neovascularization: If patients wear contact lenses for a long time, it may cause corneal hypoxia, which stimulates corneal neovascularization.
It is recommended that patients who experience discomfort after wearing contact lenses should consult a hospital in time to assess their condition and follow the doctor’s instructions for standardized treatment.
