Do eyes get swollen and irritated on wearing a contact lens in ectopia lentis?
Patient's Query
Hello doctor,
I am 25 years old. I have ectopia lentis due to a genetic cause, and I used to wear contact lenses for six to seven hours for nine years. My doctors denied doing surgery when I got my eyes checked five years back. A few months before, I started having a burning sensation in the eye's lacrimal gland and swelling at the lateral side of the eyes. I used Tobrex antibacterial eye drops, but all in vain. Finally, I used artificial tears, which relieved the symptoms, but the infection came back when I wore contact lenses once a week. What should I do? Is it conjunctivitis or any viral or fungal infection?
