Contact lenses are thin, curved medical devices placed directly on the surface of the eye to correct refractive errors such as nearsightedness, farsightedness, astigmatism, and presbyopia. They provide a convenient and almost invisible alternative to eyeglasses, offering clear, wide-angle vision and freedom from frames.
While contact lenses are safe and effective when used properly, some patients may experience discomfort or eye problems due to:
Dry Eyes
Redness or Irritation
Blurred Vision
Eye Allergies or Infections (Conjunctivitis, Keratitis)
Corneal Ulcers (in rare, untreated cases)
Causes may include:
Poor hygiene or improper lens care
Over-wearing lenses beyond recommended time
Using expired or damaged lenses
Wearing the wrong lens prescription
