Understanding Contact Lens Complications and Their Care at Titanium Eye Care

Contact lenses have become a popular and convenient way to correct vision while maintaining a natural appearance. Whether for cosmetic or medical reasons, millions rely on them every day. However, improper use or poor hygiene can lead to several eye complications — some of which can be serious if not treated promptly. At Titanium Eye Care, we prioritize your eye health and ensure that your contact lens experience remains safe and comfortable.

Common Contact Lens Complications

1. Dry Eyes

Wearing lenses for long hours can reduce oxygen supply to the cornea, leading to dryness, irritation, and discomfort. Patients may experience redness, a gritty sensation, or blurry vision.

Care Tip: Use doctor-prescribed lubricating eye drops and follow the recommended wearing schedule. Never sleep with lenses unless specifically approved by your eye doctor.

2. Allergic Reactions

Some individuals may develop sensitivity to lens materials or cleaning solutions, resulting in itching, tearing, or swollen eyelids.

Care Tip: If allergy symptoms occur, discontinue lens use and visit Titanium Eye Care. Our specialists can identify the cause and suggest hypoallergenic solutions or daily disposable lenses.

3. Corneal Infections (Keratitis)

Poor lens hygiene — such as not washing hands before handling lenses, using contaminated lens solution, or wearing lenses overnight — can cause bacterial, fungal, or amoebic infections.These can lead to severe pain, redness, discharge, and even vision loss if untreated.

Care Tip: Always clean lenses as directed, replace them on schedule, and never rinse them with tap water. Seek immediate care if you notice sudden pain or blurred vision.

4. Corneal Ulcer

A corneal ulcer is a serious open sore on the cornea caused by infection or trauma from lenses. It presents with intense pain, light sensitivity, and watering.

Care Tip: This is an ocular emergency — remove your lenses and visit Titanium Eye Care immediately for evaluation and treatment.

5. Giant Papillary Conjunctivitis (GPC)

Prolonged lens wear can irritate the inner surface of the eyelid, leading to bumps (papillae), itching, and mucus discharge.

Care Tip: Taking lens-free breaks and switching to daily disposable lenses can help. Our doctors can prescribe anti-inflammatory eye drops and customize your lens type for comfort.

Prevention is the Best Treatment

At Titanium Eye Care, we believe prevention begins with education and professional guidance. Here are a few golden rules for safe lens wear:

• Wash and dry hands before handling lenses.

• Replace lenses and solution as per your eye doctor’s instructions.

• Avoid swimming or showering while wearing lenses.

• Schedule regular eye check-ups to monitor lens fit and corneal health.
