Cleaning your Soflens contact lenses properly is an important step to avoid illness. The biggest problem in keeping them clean is quite simple: people aren’t cleaning their contacts. Many Soflens contact lens users fail to stick with the cleaning procedures that protect them from infections, either because of asserted confusion about how to clean the lenses or because the procedures are too involved or time-consuming.

If you’re someone who follows proper care techniques, you even need to know that periodic microbial contamination of the contact lenses or the containers you keep your lenses in is possible because microbes are always around us, awaiting any opportunity to present themselves.

When an infection occurs, there is also a tendency in some people to procrastinate about having a doctor look at things. The patient hopes matters will clear up on their own to save them the hassle of having to go visit your doctor. This can produce an even wider gap in the care that you need. Permanent eye damage among contact lens users come after the user falls into a pattern of neglect and improper hygiene.

Infection is caused typically by unclean hands and skin, unclean contact lenses, contaminated solutions, local infections from a corneal abrasion, or foreign substances getting into your cornea. Most abrasions come from fingernail insertion or removal, from foreign substances trapped under the contact, or from general mishandling of the lens. If infection or ulceration is being treated, contact lens wear must be interrupted for a period of up to several weeks.

There are other complications you can develop from not cleaning your contact lenses properly. You can develop a corneal ulceration, which is permanent scarring because of an infection or improper wearing of a contact lens. When scarring happens, you’ll experience pain and light sensitivity. You also might develop tiny peripheral blood vessels that grow into the cornea. In most cases the corneal vascularization is caused by an improperly fitted contact lens or complications arising from a corneal injury or infection.

This disease can happen after your contacts are improperly fitted or if they are stuck too tightly in place for a long period of time against your cornea, disrupting tear circulation and interfering with the normal corneal metabolic process. This can cause corneal hypoxia, or the deprivation of oxygen to the cornea. If tiny vessels grow, the growth can be interrupted if the patient stops using contact lenses. The corneal vascularization typically disappears in a few months from your Soflens contact lenses.
