All About Eye Infections
10. Contact Lens Infections
Contact lens wearers are more prone to all eye infections, especially keratitis corneal ulcers. Even if you are careful to disinfect and handle your lenses properly, there is still a risk of infection. Stop wearing lenses immediately if you have photosensitivity, burning, blurry vision, or eye pain.
Swimming pools, hot tubs, and tap water are among the environments preferred by parasites called acathamoeba. They are more prone to infect people who wear contacts in the water. Fungal infections caused by a thorn or stick injury can also be more serious for contact lens wearers.
