If you have a problem with your eyes or lenses, don’t wait for your next check-up. Occasionally you may experience discomfort or redness with your lenses. If the symptoms improve when a lens is removed the lens is usually dirty, dusty or damaged. If you experience irritation, redness, tearing or a discharge you could suffer from a corneal infection which affects the front of the eye. Your eyes may also be very sensitive to light and your vision may be blurred. In most cases of infection, symptoms are not relieved by removing the contact lenses. If your eyes don’t look good or feel good, or if you don’t see well, you should consult your optometrist as soon as possible.
