INTRODUCTION

The utilise of contact lenses is very common,[1,2] and constitutes a profitable manufacture.[3] The size of the global market of contact lenses is expected to achieve 12,476.three one thousand thousand U.s.a. dollars by 2020, at a growth rate of six.7%.[four]

Contact lenses are prescribed for the direction of refractive errors that cannot be addressed by spectacles such as aphakia,[5,6,7,viii,9,10] keratoconus,[6,7,8,eleven,12,13,fourteen,15,16,17,eighteen] irregular cornea,[19,20,21,22] and high anisometropia.[vi,7,19,20,23] In addition, they tin can be used for the direction of elementary refractive errors as alternatives to glasses. Moreover, contact lenses tin exist prescribed for the direction of dry eye in Stevens-Johnson syndrome[19,23,24,25,26,27] or Sjogren syndrome,[xiv,27,28,29,30] post refractive surgery rehabilitation,[11,17,21,31,32,33] and persistent epithelial defect.[31,34,35,36] Furthermore, the cosmetic usage of contact lenses is very popular nowadays.[37]

Contact lenses have improved the quality of life non merely by correcting refractive errors just as well by providing better appearance and less brake in activities.[38] Unfortunately, contact lenses can cause complications that are disappointing for the patients, forcing them to switch from habitual mode of vision correction to other modalities if possible,[39] which are non always simple or complication-free.

The purpose of this review is to provide a better concept of agreement contact lens-related issues. Addressing contact lens problems properly can prevent contact lens drop-out and lessen the consequences.

METHODS

PubMed and Scopus databases were searched for the related articles published from 1995 to 2015 having the keywords "contact lens" and "discomfort" or "complication" in their title, resulting in 819 manufactures (later exclusion of duplicated and non-related manufactures). After reviewing the total texts of the articles, 50 articles were chosen. For completing manuscript to be drafted properly, PubMed and Google Scholar were searched once more with more than detailed keywords. Finally, 139 articles published between 1982 and 2015 were used for writing this manuscript.

RESULTS

Contact lens-related problems are listed in Table 1. We discuss below the main complications in details.

Contact Lens Discomfort

Definitions

According to the Tear Film & Ocular Surface Order (TFOS), contact lens discomfort is a condition characterized past episodic or persistent agin ocular sensations related to lens wear, either with or without visual disturbance, resulting from reduced compatibility betwixt the contact lens and the ocular environs. This complication can lead to decreased wearing time or even discontinuation of contact lens vesture.[40]

These symptoms should occur later the initial menses of accommodation and resolve or diminish with contact lens removal. Moreover, CLD may accompany concrete signs such every bit conjunctival hyperemia or ocular surface staining, or may be diagnosed based just on the patient's subjective study of the discomfort.[40,41]

Epidemiology

The CLD prevalence ranges between 23 and 94% amongst patients who have symptoms attributable to contact lenses. The burden of the problem seems to be loftier. This wide range tin be due to differences in the assessment tools, severity of the stages assessed, sampling methods, inherent factors of the studied population, and fourth dimension frame betwixt studies.[42,43,44,45]

Factors causing CLD can be either contact lens-related or ecology. Contact lens-related factors tin can exist associated with (1) material (lubricity, water content), (two) design (edge, base curve, asphericity), (iii) fit, (4) wearing schedule, and (v) intendance system (chemical limerick, regimen).

Environmental factors[42,43,44] can be subdivided into (1) ocular surface status (dry middle, tear composition), (2) external environs (humidity, air current, temperature), (3) occupational factors (computer, calorie-free, altitude, and other occupational related changes in the external surroundings), (iv) medications, (5) compliance, and other factors (historic period, gender, groundwork ocular or systemic diseases, psychiatric and psychological weather). Out of these, young age, female gender, tear quality and quantity, seasonal allergies, psychological factors, the use of some medications, room humidity, and air current and blink-charge per unit altering activities are clinically related to CLD.[42]

Direction

The goal is to provide comfortable daily wearing time that suffices for the patients' desired activities; this varies from patient to patient.

The evaluation of predisposing factors for CLD should preferably be started at the beginning visit and fit. Therefore, meticulous history taking, slit lamp examination, and tear assessment tests for estimating the risk of CLD are required. Potential atmospheric condition that can cause CLD, such equally blepharitis, meibomian gland dysfunction, and dry centre, should be addressed earlier starting contact lens use.

Patients who are inherently or occupationally prone to CLD should be brash to use more eye-friendly contact lenses and lens intendance systems. CLD can be prevented in these highly susceptible patients by daily wearing schedule, more than frequently disposable lenses (preferably daily disposable), hydrogen peroxide based care system being more compliant to lens care, and frequent use of lubricating drops patients.

For symptomatic patients, a thorough history taking may reveal the underlying crusade of CLD. History should include the timing and class of the symptoms during the mean solar day, lens type, care system, wearing pattern and replacement schedule, compliance behavior, coexisting ocular or systemic diseases including allergy, ocular and systemic medications, and personal and environmental take a chance factors. Any coexisting ocular and systemic diseases unrelated to contact lens use should be treated appropriately. For example, ocular medicamentosa, which is an ocular irritation caused by chemical toxicity of topically practical eye drops (especially those with preservative) or cosmetics, tin be confused with CLD. Conjunctival diseases such as pterygium, pinguecula, and conjunctivochalasis tin cause ocular discomfort and are aggravated by contact lens use. Corneal diseases such as Salzmann nodules, corneal dystrophies, and recurrent corneal erosion (due to previous trauma or corneal dystrophies) may cause symptoms that mimic CLD. Careful slit lamp test tin reveal these pathologies. If the patient with these anatomical/pathological conditions wishes to continue wearing contact lenses, these problems should be treated either medically or surgically.

The modifiable environmental factors should be addressed first. Increasing room humidity, avoiding existence in the direction of windy air conditioners, intermittently looking at far objects during computer work, and adjusting the angle of gaze at the computer monitor are simple modifications that can help.[46,47]

One of the most frequent background causes of CLD is the patients' non-compliant beliefs. Poor compliance with the frequency of contact lens replacement should be addressed by educating the patients and helping them with reminders such equally mobile applications.[48] Poor compliance with care organisation should be addressed past re-educating the patient and emphasizing the effect of lens rubbing. Modifiable ecology and occupational factors should be controlled.[49,50] Using lubricating heart drops can solve the CLD in the mild stages of the problem.[51]

Effective treatments of dry eye diseases with modalities such as punctual plugs have been proposed.[52] Ocular antihistamine drops such equally olopatadine and epinastine can decrease CLD symptoms in patients with history of allergic conjunctivitis, fifty-fifty in the absence of symptoms,[52,53] while oral omega-iii fatty acids can decrease dry eye symptoms.[51]

For the patients who remain symptomatic despite the above-mentioned modifications, a trial of changing the lens type to another with a improve surface wettability, and more frequent replacement schedule preferably daily disposable can be helpful.[54,55]

Corneal Neovascularization

Definition

Formation of new vessels basically establish in capillaries and venules of the pericorneal plexus, which progress to the corneal stroma [Figure one].

An external file that holds a picture, illustration, etc.  Object name is JOVR-12-193-g002.jpg

Corneal neovascularization in a soft contact lens wearer.

Prevalence

It is reported that 10–thirty% of patients diagnosed with corneal neovascularization wear contact lens,[56,57] while corneal neovascularization develops in i-20% of contact lens users.[58] Patients who use rigid gas permeable (RGP) or poly-methyl methacrylate (PMMA) lenses have a lower rate of neovascularization.[59] A college prevalence has been reported in relation to soft contact lenses (SCL), especially in extended wearers.[56,59]

Risk factors

Intrinsic lens parameters including material properties (oxygen transmissibility) have an impact on the development of corneal neovascularization.[lx] High myopia and astigmatism can probably influence the peripheral thickness of hydrogel SCL, which decreases peripheral oxygen transmissibility and enhances peripheral mechanical friction. Improper lens-corneal alignment, due to exceedingly flat or steep cornea, tin can issue in peripheral hypoxic or mechanical trauma in SCL wearers.[60,61] Equally the bachelor base curves for soft contact lenses is express, the problem of poor lens fittingis non surprising.[60]

Other causes for corneal neovascularization include canker simplex stromal keratitis and corneal transplantation. Indeed, contact lenses are oftentimes used to accost the refractive errors induced by herpetic corneal scars and are themselves associated with increased prevalence of herpetic attacks;[62] therefore, contact lens practitioners should be enlightened of recurrent corneal herpetic ulcers and address them promptly. The hazard for corneal neovascularization in the post-penetrating keratoplasty condition without active inflammation increases in the presence of (1) suture knots in the host stroma, (2) active blepharitis, or (3) a large recipient bed.[63] Therefore, the possible role of the contact lens, especially poor fit, in the development of corneal neovascularization should be considered in these patients.

Direction

Exchanging the lens with a more oxygen-permeable contact lens, changing wearing schedule from extended clothing to daily wear, switching to RGP lenses instead of soft lenses, and discontinuing contact lenses in cases of agile progressive corneal new vessels are recommended.[56,60] Anti-angiogenic therapy of the cornea (subconjunctival or intrastromal), also every bit corticosteroids and not-steroidal anti-inflammatory agents, can help in cases with active neovascularizations that may endanger the survival of corneal graft or ocular surface health.[64,65] Laser photocoagulation of new vessels, photodynamic therapy, electrocoagulation, and stalk cell transplant are surgical interventions recommended in severe cases.[66,67,68,69,70]

Contact Lens-related Keratitis

Contact lens-related peripheral ulcer

Definition

CLPU is characterized by epithelium excavation and infiltration and an intact bowman layer, in contrast to corneal ulcers. Typically, CLPU and corneal ulcers are differentiated past clinical features rather than histological test. Microbial keratitis is more acute and severe, although overlapped characteristics may cause misdiagnosis. CLPU presents with mild and localized conjunctival injection, and focal infiltration usually less than 1.v mm, ever round or slightly oval in shape, white or white-greyness, located at the peripheral cornea. Unlike microbial keratitis,[71,72] CLPU may be devoid of epithelial defects or nowadays with punctuate epithelial erosions [Effigy 2].

An external file that holds a picture, illustration, etc.  Object name is JOVR-12-193-g003.jpg

Contact lens-related peripheral ulcer.

Cause

In animal models, CLPU is suggested to occur in the presence of live bacteria (eastward.g., Staphylococcus aureus) and corneal epithelial erosion is necessary. In this theory, bacterial toxins and immunogenic agents that enter via corneal abrasions may crusade inflammation, leading to infiltration.[73,74] CLPU is more than common in extended wear lenses, and its rate is increased in clan with silicone hydrogel lenses.[72]

Incidence

In symptomatic patients, the incidence of CLPU for daily wearable silicone hydrogel lenses is 2–three%, while it increases to two–6% with extended wear schedules. In asymptomatic patients, CLPU incidence in daily wearable and extended wear silicone hydrogel lenses is 7–twenty% and six–25%, respectively.[75]

Management

Typically, CLPUs backslide spontaneously after discontinuation of the contact lens use. Steroid or non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drops are rarely prescribed, in instance microbial keratitis is not suspected.[71]

Microbial Keratitis

Definition

Active inflammation of the cornea caused by microorganisms such every bit bacteria, viruses, or parasites related to contact lens clothing, which is its most important take chances factor.[76,77]

Causes

Keratitis can occur in case of contact lens induced hypoxia, microtrauma, and contamination of the contact lens or contact lens solution. Straight inoculation of microorganisms into the middle when wearing contact lens with dirty hands can also cause keratitis. The run a risk can be increased up to 20 times with extended wearing schedules, which increase corneal hypoxia.[78] Mechanical microtrauma to the corneal epithelium, represented by punctuate epithelial erosions, has been associated with silicone hydrogel contact lenses despite their higher oxygen permeability. The broken epithelial barrier tin can be a serious risk gene for developing infectious keratitis.[79,80]

Direction

Infectious keratitis can be finer prevented past proper lens intendance. Information technology is the responsibility of contact lens practitioners to educate patients, verify their compliance, and provide them with educational materials. Using opportunities such as weblogs, emails, social networks, and mobile applications for this purpose should be encouraged. If an infectious keratitis occurs despite these measures, it becomes the first priority to (1) eradicate the offensive organism, (2) control the inflammation to prevent disease progression and save the globe and sight, (3) provide appropriate anti-microbial agents, (4) suit the treatment plan when necessary by closely monitoring the course of the disease, and (5) proceed to surgical interventions if necessary. Situations such as impending corneal perforation, progressing to scleritis or endophthalmitis, which are unresponsive to maximum medical treatments, must be managed surgically.

It should be highlighted that severe cases such as those involving the key role of the cornea, ulcers >3 mm in size, ulcers in immunocompromised patients such as those suffering from diabetes or using corticosteroid or immunosuppressive drugs, ane-eyed patients, ambitious progression, resistance to initial treatment, and suspicious fungal or acanthamoebal infections must be referred to an ophthalmologist/ophthalmology hospital adept in managing infectious keratitis.

Bacterial Keratitis

Incidence

The estimate yearly incidence is 2 per x,000 contact lens wearers, depending on the blazon of lens and wearing programme, with a range between one.two (95% coefficient index [CI], 1.i–ane.five) for diurnal wear RGP lenses and 25.4 (95% CI, 14.6–29.5) for extended wear of silicon hydrogel lenses.,[76,77] reports from 1999.[81] A confounding factor might be the approval for over-night wearing of the new generations of SCLs, which encourages contact lens wearers to extend the wearing schedule.

The reports on the most frequent causative organisms are not consistent,[82] although Gram-negative organisms are suggested (>70%, Effigy iii).[76,77,79,lxxx,81]

An external file that holds a picture, illustration, etc.  Object name is JOVR-12-193-g004.jpg

Management

The contact lens should exist removed in whatsoever suspected keratitis. Smear and civilisation should be provided separately from the infiltration site, contact lens, and lens instance. If the clinical picture cannot easily differentiate betwixt fungal and acanthamoeba keratitis, confocal corneal scan should be considered.[83] Broad-spectrum antibody therapy should be started to cover all possible Gram-negative and gram-positive microorganisms. Moreover, attention should exist paid toward the most possible organisms, based on the smear results and clinical picture. Antibiotics can be adjusted co-ordinate to the culture and antibiogram results. Monotherapy with topical fluoroquinolones may be sufficient in small peripheral infiltrations. However, more aggressive therapy with fortified topical antibiotics and loading dose with admission or daily follow-ups should be considered in more severe cases. The option of the antibiotics varies from middle to eye, based on the microbial resistance pattern, epidemiology of the keratitis, and drug availability.[84]

Acanthamoeba Keratitis

Definition

Protozoal infection of the centre, principally caused past using contaminated contact lenses or lens solutions. Free-living amoebae of the genus Acanthamoeba are the causal agents of this severe sight-threatening infection of the cornea [Effigy 4].

An external file that holds a picture, illustration, etc.  Object name is JOVR-12-193-g005.jpg

Prevalence

In the The states, an estimated 85% of AK cases are related to contact lenses. In adult countries, the incidence of AK is about 1–33 cases per million contact lens wearers.[85] Indeed, almost 80% of AK cases are associated with soft contact lenses. Although simply 12% of AK cases have been attributed to RGP lenses, at least a part of this divergence might exist related to lower prevalence of RGP lens use compared with soft lenses.[86] Nonetheless, these figures should not encourage RGP wearers to be less obsessed with their lens care.

Risk factors

Contact lens wear is the main take a chance factor for AK, which should be considered in whatsoever suspicious keratitis in contact lens wearers. Patients with AK can presumably experience pain associated with photophobia, ring-like stromal infiltrate, epithelial defect, radial perineuritis, and hat edema.[86] The clinical picture varies at dissimilar stages of the disease and the classical ring-shaped infiltration is seen in avant-garde stages. Diagnosis of AK requires confocal scan of the cornea or special civilisation and staining techniques. Delayed diagnosis results in deeper invasion, lower response to treatment, and poorer visual outcomes.[87] Usually, atypical amoebae gain access to the lens instance through tap water or air, swiftly grow to high densities in the lens if the example is not cleaned correctly and regularly, and after attach to the lens and infect the eye. Wearers of SCLs who use multipurpose solutions are at greater risks given that acanthamoeba sticks particularly well to the hydrophilic plastic of these lenses.[86] Additionally, soft lenses are the most unremarkably used, as well by occasional wearers (e.g., one time a week for sport) or corrective colored lenses for social events. Indeed, these patterns are risk factors for poor compliance to lens care.[88]

For prophylaxis of any kind of infectious keratitis including AK, the use of tap water is forbidden, the lens instance should be cleaned with hand rubbing and subsequently air dried, contact lenses should be cleaned and kept by using a proper cleaning method, and the lens cases must be exchanged at least every three months (preferably monthly).[89] Many multipurpose solutions have added anti-acanthamoeba agents such as polyhexamethylenebiguanide (PHMB), though their effectiveness in the clinical setting needs to be documented. The best method of disinfection remains the ii-step hydrogen peroxide systems. Moreover, heat disinfection is highly effective in eradication of the acanthamoeba parasite.[xc]

Management

In the case of suspicious AK based on the clinical setting, confocal corneal scan and appropriate culture media (e.m., non-nutrient agar with bacterial overlay or buffered charcoal-yeast extract agar) and staining methods (e.g., acridine orange, calcofluor white, or indirect immunofluorescence antibody) are recommended. Currently, AK treatment is based on topical antimicrobial agents that can attain high concentrations at the infection site.[89] Because the presence of a cyst grade in acanthamoeba, which is totally resistant to therapy, a combined therapy is advisable.[91,92] Chlorhexidine and PHMB are considered the about effective drugs for treating AK infections; particularly when combined, they are effective confronting both cysts and trophozoites.[86,93] Other medications such as neomycin, paromomycin, voriconazole, miconazole, and imidazoles/triazoles family drugs are as well effective confronting acanthamoeba. Failure to response to medical treatment necessitates surgical interventions such as corneal graft.

Fungal Keratitis

Definition

A sight-threatening complication of contact lenses, characterized by a grayish white infiltration with feathery borders and deep infiltration. Satellite lesions as a hallmark sign may be present, while hypopyon is not uncommon [Figure 5].[94,95] In addition, the diagnosis is confirmed past microbiological tests.

An external file that holds a picture, illustration, etc.  Object name is JOVR-12-193-g006.jpg

Confocal biomicroscopy can be used to distinguish these infections from other causes and to follow the response to treatment.[94,95]

Incidence

In some countries such as India and Nepal, fungal keratitis are the majority of microbial keratitis.[95,96,97] In 21% of the patients with fungal keratitis, contact lens vesture has been documented;[98] whereas this rate was reported to be 10% elsewhere.[99] Fungal pathogens have been found in upward to 4.eight% of contact lens associated keratitis.[98,100] Candida, Fusarium, and Aspergillus are the most commonly isolated organism.[101,102]

A worldwide outbreak of fungal keratitis in 2006 has been associated with the solution, ReNuMoistureLoc.[102] The charge per unit of fusarium keratitis decreased after recollect of this product; however, an increased number of contact lens-related fungal keratitis has been reported in 2007 & 2008, equally demonstrated in 78 eyes of fungal keratitis collected from 1999 to 2008.[103]

Risk factors

Contact lens habiliment was the leading take a chance gene for the fungal keratitis, peculiarly those caused by yeast-like fungi.[94] Moreover, extended wear schedules increase this risk.[98] Indeed, the gamble is highest in extended wearable of hydrogel lenses compared with silicone hydrogel, while RGP contact lenses take the lowest risk. Other take a chance factors include trauma specially with vegetative material, topical steroids and underlying systemic diseases.[97,101]

Direction

Topical medications ordinarily used in fungal keratitis include natamycin (5%), amphotericin B (0.15–0.thirty%), topical voriconazole (1%), and miconazole (ane%).(101) In deep infiltrative cases, a systemic therapy may be added.

In the cases that do not reply or poorly respond to medical therapy and in patients who suffer from severe thinning impending to perforation, surgical interventions are required. Surgical methods range from debridement and superficial keratectomy in small lesions to penetrating keratoplasty in large lesions.[94,104]

Giant Papillary Conjunctivitis

Definition

Giant papillary conjunctivitis, too referred to as contact lens-induced papillary conjunctivitis (CLPC), is i of the nigh common contact lens-related adverse effects.[105] Patients commonly complain of irritation, redness, itching, decreased lens tolerance, excessive lens movements (especially superior displacement), and increased mucous discharge. Hyperemia and papillary reaction larger than 0.3 mm are remarkable in upper tarsal conjunctiva.[106,107,108]

Incidence

A CLPC incidence rate of i.five%[109] to 47.v%[110] has been reported, with an incidence of 4.6% for wearers of beginning generation silicone hydrogels.[111] The prevalence of CLPC is higher in patients using silicone hydrogel lenses compared with those wearing hydrogel lenses,[112,113] probably equally a consequence of greater mechanical irritation caused by relatively loftier modulus silicone hydrogel lenses.[114] Moreover, a decrease in CLPC rate has been seen in disposable lens users.[107]

Risk factors

CLPC has been associated with certain lens types and lens materials,[112] and is seen more often with soft contact lenses (85%) compared with rigid contact lenses (15%),[112,115,116,117] Mechanical trauma may play a part in the etiology of this complexity.[117] Indeed, a history of allergy and atopy may be nowadays in many cases of CLPC.[106]

Management

It is recommended to consider the possibility of this complication in every visit. Detecting and managing the trouble in early stages, even in asymptomatic cases, usually event in the power to prevent lens driblet out. Adherence to lens care recommendations and frequent employ of lubricating drops sometimes resolve the problem in its early stages. In both localized and generalized forms of CLPC, it is advisable to discontinue lens wear until signs and symptoms subside, and/or change to a different lens. If symptoms do non resolve, irresolute to a daily disposable or daily wear schedule can exist useful. In the generalized forms, mast cell stabilizers (sodium cromoglycate two%, ketotifenfumarate 0.05%, levocabastine hydrochloride 0.025%, or olopatadine HCL 0.one%) may be used to manage persistent symptomatic and recurrent events.[106,108,118,119]

Superior Epithelial Arcuate Lesion

Definition

First characterized in the 1970s, SEALs are corneal complications related to SCL clothing that have also been known as epithelial splits or superior arcuate keratopathy. The lesions occur in the superior cornea, within near ii mm of the superior limbus, betwixt the limbus and the contact lens rim. This lesion tin be detected via slit lamp exam of the cornea with the eyelid wide open. Information technology is ordinarily a white or opalescent lesion bearing an epithelial defect, which tin be confirmed using fluorescein staining. An irregular shaped epithelial defect surrounded past a superficial and punctate staining is characteristic. Moreover, SCL wearers with SEALs are typically asymptomatic, admitting some of them can suffer from a mild foreign trunk sensation. SEALs ordinarily present within the first eight weeks of wearing new or replacement lenses. It can occur in high and low h2o content SCLs, with daily and extended clothing schedules.[120,121,122]

Recurrence can occur in newly replaced lenses, both of an identical or new design. SEAL has not been reported in relation to RGP or PMMA lenses. Although silicone hydrogel lenses eliminate contact lens complications related to hypoxia, other physical conditions, such as SEAL and papillary conjunctivitis, still arise. SEALs can happen much after with high DK lenses.[122]

Incidence

The incidence of SEAL in the SCL wearing population is obviously low (0.2–8%). Continuous wear, including high DK/t silicon hydrogel lenses can probably event in higher incidence of SEAL in the contact lens wearing population. The incidence of SEAL has been roughly the aforementioned betwixt extended wear conventional hydrogel lenses (0.nine–four.0%) and continuous habiliment with first generation silicone hydrogel lenses (0.2–four.5%).[120,121] Moreover, first generation silicone hydrogel lenses showed a higher incidence of complications than the second generation lenses when they were worn on a daily wearable basis. Comparison the results of diverse studies, the reported incidence of SEALs seems to be greater with extended wear than with daily wear.[121]

Take chances factor

The combination of lens design, substance and surface properties, and corneal shape are the major parameters for developing SEAL. Patients' factors include male gender, presbyopia, tight upper lids, and steep cornea. Lens-related contributing factors include lathe cutting hydrogel lenses, lenses made of high rigidity or thick materials, monocurve lenses, or plus design lenses.[121]

Management

The patient should stop wearing lenses until resolution of the staining and whatsoever infiltration (1–7 days). Subsequently, patients can use the lenses they had been wearing earlier or identical fresh lenses. Notwithstanding, if the SEAL recurs, a different lens (in substance and/or design) should be used.[122] All patients should be checked accurately because the loftier risk of recurrence and the asymptomatic nature of the lesion. If recurrence occurs afterward changing lens fabric or pattern, soft lenses should exist replaced by RGP lenses. Withdrawing contact lens wear temporarily for i–ii days is commonly acceptable for the resolution of the lesion in the bulk of cases.[120] In conclusion, co-ordinate to our review on the well-nigh common and/or of import contact lens-related complications past referring to their definition, risk factors, prevalence, and management, these complications are the main cause for contact lens withdrawal. Some complications such every bit infectious keratitis are sight-threatening. Although this complexity is non common, its impact makes it a necessity to be considered. Other complications such as discomfort are more mutual and, although have little to no effect on vision or eye wellness, should exist considered seriously due to their high impact on the contact lens market place. Contact lens practitioners must empower themselves by staying updated. 132
