How does contact lenses prevent oxygen supply?
According to Dr. Rahil Chaudhary, General Director - Eye7Hospital, New Delhi (India), contact lenses can prevent the supply of oxygen for the cornea by creating barriers between cornea and air. The cornea has no blood vessels and depends on the air to get oxygen. When wearing contact lenses, oxygen cannot be accessible enough, causing problems such as cornea, dry eyes or infection if prolonged.
What is oxygen deficiency?
Lack of oxygen occurs when the cornea does not receive enough oxygen from the air because of covered with contact lenses. Dr. Rahil Chaudhary explained that lack of oxygen weakens the defense of the eye, making them susceptible to infection, swelling or permanent damage. If the glass is not properly hygienic, bacteria and dirt can stick to the glass, cause infection and corneal ulcer, damage long -term vision.

If you encounter the above signs, consult an eye specialist to check and adjust the use of contact lenses to protect long -term eye health.
Why can contact lenses be harmful to the eyes?
