seem to care for the lenses using the wrong method and solution .
“ Also , monthly lenses tend to have lipid deposits or protein deposits on the surface of the lens . So that ’ s why most people claim that they are not able to wear the monthly lenses for up to a month . It means by the third or fourth week , the comfort is no longer there .
“ The more the deposits , the more it will reduce the oxygen supply to the cornea , which leads to eye damage .”

Implications of wearing unsafe contact lenses
“ The most common implication of wearing an unsafe contact lens is conjunctivitis , also known as pink eye . It means there is inflammation on the transparent membrane of the eye .
“ Patients may experience increased mucus , itchiness and eye swelling . In some cases , conjunctivitis can also be contagious .”
Another common effect is eye infection .
“ When people with dry eyes wear contact lenses or wear ill-fitted contact lenses , it will cause corneal abrasion , which are superficial scratches on the cornea , which will lead to eye infection .”
Eye infection , explained Min Er , will cause cornea ulcer . Patients will experience excessive tearing , sensitivity to light , blurry vision , or a burning sensation on the eye .
“ Cornea ulcer can lead to blindness and patients may need to undergo a cornea transplant .”
She said cornea vascularisation was another result of wearing unsafe contact lenses .
“ It means that the blood vessel in the eye swells and grows into the cornea due to a lack of oxygen . If this is not treated , it will cause tissue scarring and persistent inflammation , which will significantly affect the vision prognosis and the quality of life .
“ This is why it is important to approach a registered optometrist to perform a proper eye test and determine your suitability to wear contact lenses .
“ If you are suitable , we will do a trial fitting session with contact lenses of trusted brands and help you decide on the most suitable lenses .”
