Contact Lens Over Wear

Wearing your contact lenses for longer than your optometrist has recommended can cause problems.

This is because the oxygen supply to your eye can be reduced which can cause corneal abrasions, corneal ulceration or infection.

Symptoms of these complications can include:

• Blurred vision


• Redness


• Eye irritation or pain

Therefore: Always stick to the contact lens wearing schedule that your optometrist has recommended.
