Contact Lenses

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.

Common Issues, Symptoms & Causes

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
