I don't know where to start this thread..but I hope as many people with contact lenses reads this... I'm sure there are some of you here who wears contact lenses too, this is not to scare you but just so you are aware of it and take precautions.. I just read from a blog, this girl who wears contact lenses instead of spectacles.. Due to some reasons, she developed corneal ulcer on her left eye..she had to be admitted to the hospital and get jabbed, get her eyeball scrapped (literally scrapped) so the doctor could take it for a test. Scary ain't it? these are the symptoms she experienced : - 1. Nausea (feel like vomitting) 2. Eye got really red 3. Eye kept tearing 4. Massive headache as if I got a concussion 5. Sensitivity towards light 6. Unusual white dot in the cornea ![](http://i14.photobucket.com/albums/a310/fionath/z19667877.jpg) this could have been due to : - 1. Inadequate sleep leading to low immune system 2. Inappropriate care for contact lenses (cleanliness) probably not cleaning them properly 3. Long hours of wearing contact lenses. 4. Expired contact lenses So pinkies who wears contact lenses, pls be sure you take good care of your eyes.. ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/smiley.png)

it's ok to wear contact lenses la i guess just that u have to really be clean when handling and make sure ur stuffs aren't expired, and don't have it on for too long.. there are worse and more gruesome cases, i saw the pics but i am not going to post it up here..its too disgusting
