Brilio.net - The use of contact lenses is not only for appearance and fashion. However, contact lenses are used as a vision aid for those with nearsightedness. Contact lenses or contact lenses are always relied on because they are simple to use and you don't need to wear glasses anymore.
Soft lenses attach to the cornea of the eye and make vision clearer. But behind that, using contact lenses has side effects, you know. For contact lens users, these thin lenses can make your eyes dry and reddish more quickly. Even if you use it for a long time and without any treatment it can cause irritation.
This incident recently happened to a woman, Vanya. By uploading a video on the TikTok account vaaannnyyyaa some time ago, keratitis affected one of his eyes. This keratitis makes the eyes swollen and irritated and red.

This is caused by using contact lenses when the eyes are dry. When he had dry eyes, he removed the contact lens from his left eye and nothing happened.
Meanwhile, in his right eye, Vanya had difficulty removing the lens. He felt that the contact lenses he was using were sticky and finally forced him to remove the contact lenses.
"It's okay, it's a bit painful," he said.

But when I was going to sleep, pain started to appear on one side of my eye. In this condition, the eyes are not yet swollen, after some time a lump starts to appear around the eye.
"It's annoying, it's been red for a long time and now it's swollen," he added.
Not only was it swollen, Vanya's eyes also kept watering and felt painful. Unable to bear the pain, Vanya immediately went to the doctor. After examination, it was discovered that his cornea was scratched due to dry eyes. So that his eyes don't get further irritation, Vanya gets medicine as the first treatment.
"Last night it was flat and still red. It still hurts a little," said Vanya.

Meanwhile, at the last minute Vanya gave a message so that people experiencing the same thing should not compress, bandage or rub their eyes. This could possibly harm irritated eyes.
"It's better if you check with a doctor. This is purely because it's soft lenses, not dirty eyelashes or soft lenses," he added.
Vanya's problem with using contact lenses has also drawn various comments from netizens.
" That's why, when I go anywhere I use Soplens, I always bring special Soplens eye drops, I'm afraid my eyes will dry out quickly, sis ," the @Tiara Putri Salsabil account commented.
" It's exactly the same as when I used softlens to get keratitis ," commented the account @Heii Nau.
" Kaaa sorry, I've been there too, I swear it hurts a lot, but I got eyelash glue. I was also given medicine like that from the doctor ," wrote the account @Assyafiq.
" Yes, believe me, it's not because of eyelash...because I've had it...so the correct way in my opinion is, before using soft lenses, use Rohto Cool or Insto Cool ," added the account @Mom2D.
