 Posted: 07/09/06 - 23:00 Post subject: Red eyes from contact lens wear |
  |
|
I’ve been wearing contact for past 8 years. I have no problems so far. I change them every 3 months. Anyway, I took my last one two weeks ago and for past 5 days my eyes are red…so I am not sure is it from contact lenses or something else? Maybe I infected them somehow. I am not sure.

Contact lenses, though worn by millions, may result in many potential problems and most of these can be attributed to contact lens over-wear, poor lens hygiene, and sensitivity to lens materials or solutions, or a poor fit. One of the most dreaded complications of contact lens wear is corneal ulceration, a bacterial infection of the cornea. The condition usually presents with a red, painful eye with discharge, and perhaps poor vision. You need to see the ophthalmologist about it.
