Does cosmetic lens lead you to loose eye sight?

and is there any harm in wearing cosmetic lensDoes cosmetic lens lead you to loose eye sight?
Only if you are not following a healthy wearing schedule as determined by the doctor who fitted you with the lens.





Even cosmetic lenses need to be fitted, to be sure the curve of the contact suits the curve of your cornea.





People forget that these are tiny little medical devices of man-made material that, even with the best lens on the market, still restrict the oxygen flow to your cornea. And people forget that every individual may have a recommended 'maximum' wearing schedule.





At the office I work at, we see people who come in with red eyes, blurred vision -- when told they need to reduce or stop wearing contacts until their eyes get better, they actually REFUSE to do so . . .and proceed to tell the dr to just ';make the contact lens prescription stronger to help with the blurry vision';. Uh, no can do, it's not the Rx, it's the poor condition of their cornea. . .





Corneal neovascularization, corneal edema, corneal ulcer, dry eyes, and GPC are most common side effects of unhealthy wearing schedules: although they mostly can be reversed once that person gives their eyes a break. (well, corneal ulcer can lead to permanent damage to vision: you won't be blind, but things can be very very blurry if you're looking thru a really scarred cornea.)
