Contact lenses are an amazing feat of technology. They bring clear vision and freedom from glasses to millions of people around the world. The latest lens technology can treat many eye disorders, including near-sightedness (myopia), far-sightedness (hyperopia), presbyopia (age-related loss of the ability to focus up close), and astigmatism (irregularly-shaped cornea or lens). However, as with any medical product or device, there are important instructions that must be followed to avoid injury or permanent damage. There are serious health consequences related to improper care and use of contact lenses.

Do Not Lose Your Vision to Bad Habits

1 in 3 contact lens wearers admits to sleeping in their contact lenses, and thousands of people develop eye infections every year because of improper contact lens wear and care. Infections, corneal ulcers, and scarring are all potential consequences of sleeping in contact lenses that can have permanent effects on your vision. Develop healthy contact lens habits to ensure the health of your eyes for years to come.

Infection

It can sometimes be tempting to wear contact lenses longer than recommended. However, it is important to dispose of contact lenses after their intended length of use and never to sleep in them. A study from the Journal of Ophthalmology found that occasionally sleeping in contact lenses increased the risk of moderate to severe eye infection by 6.5 times. Eye infections can be serious, and cases related to contact lens misuse have led to hospital admissions and surgery. Infections can threaten your vision acutely and permanently.

Corneal Ulcers

Extended use and wear of your contact lenses can lead to serious corneal issues that are difficult to treat. When worn for too long, contact lenses can become dry and can scratch the eye or block oxygen from reaching the eye which can result in corneal ulcers. These ulcers can cause red eyes, blurry vision, pus or other discharge, severe pain or soreness, and permanent loss of vision. Contact lenses must be properly cared for to prevent this painful, potentially sight-threatening condition. You should not sleep in your contact lenses.

Permanent Scarring

Infections and ulcers are treatable, but corneal ulcers leave permanent scars on the cornea. Depending on the position of the scars, they can impede your vision. Scarring can only be eliminated with laser surgery, cornea transplant surgery, or corneal transplants. Ensure your corneas stay healthy and your vision remains clear with proper contact lens use and care.
