Infection from Contact Lenses Remove lenses and consult your eye doctor when you experience acute loss of vision, acute pain and unusual redness, swelling, persistent tearing and persistent blurred vision. Contact lens wearers may be at risk of developing infectious and non-infectious eye problems. Common non-infectious conditions include giant papillary conjunctivitis, sterile corneal infiltrates and corneal warpage.
Infectious keratitis (corneal ulcer) is infection of the cornea, which is a potentially devastating contact lens complication. Early detection is essential to successful treatment. |
