Most people prefer to use contact lenses than eyeglasses. It is because contact lenses are convenient to use. However, using contact lens sometimes results to some eye problems. Some people are not aware that wearing contacts requires proper cleaning and regular eye examination. If you are using contact lenses, you must follow the eye doctor's advice to prevent problems related to contact lenses, like micro keratitis.
Micro keratitis is a serious complication that usually caused by improper use of contact lenses. In fact, in some
communities in America, the most significant risk factor for having ulcerative keratitis is due to contact lens wear. Actually, contact lenses and contact cases are primary sources of corneal infections in contact lenses wearers, and about 53% of contact cases were found microbial contaminated.
Thus, proper hygiene for
contact lenses and contact lens cases are very important. Cleaning of lenses, and regular changes of cases are necessary to prevent contamination and form of corneal problems. Follow the eye doctor's advice regarding the solution and replacement period for contact lenses. And also, follow the instructions on solutions to be used for cleaning. It is important to know the expiration date of solutions, too.
