The left eye's vision remains at 0.3, and there are phenomena such as distorted visual fields and faded colors. The ca...[Read More] Understanding Retinal Detachment: Causes, Treatments, and Recovery Insights
Understanding Vascular Proliferation Risks from Contact Lens Use
Vascular proliferation Hello, Director Ke. I would like to ask about the issue of neovascularization related to wearing contact lenses. Is it true that anyone who wears contact lenses will experience this problem to some extent, or is it not necessarily the case for everyone? (I ...
Dr. Ke Meilan Reply:
Hello: 1. Not everyone will experience neovascularization; if one wears contact lenses for no more than 10 hours a day and frequently replaces them, maintaining better oxygen permeability, neovascularization is unlikely to occur. 2. Neovascularization typically develops due to ch...[Read More] Understanding Vascular Proliferation Risks from Contact Lens Use
Understanding Ocular Microvascular Proliferation: Causes and Solutions
Retinal microvascular proliferation I used to wear contact lenses, but since I started attending a tutoring center after exams, I have stopped wearing them. However, I have noticed that the microvessels in my eyes are increasing day by day. Could this be caused by being in an air...
Dr. Wang Ziyang Reply:
Excessive wearing of contact lenses can easily lead to corneal hypoxia. If worn beyond the recommended duration, the normally avascular corneal tissue may develop neovascularization. Once new microvessels form, they are difficult to eliminate and may slightly expand when stimulat...[Read More] Understanding Ocular Microvascular Proliferation: Causes and Solutions

Understanding Vascular Proliferation from Contact Lens Use: Risks and Prevention
Vascular proliferation? Hello, Doctor! I recently read an article where a friend mentioned that he developed neovascularization around his contact lenses due to insufficient oxygen supply to his eyes. His ophthalmologist told him that the neovascularization was too severe, and he...
Dr. Huang Bozhen Reply:
Subject: Corneal Neovascularization. Explanation: Contact lenses can cause friction on the cornea and lead to corneal hypoxia, both of which can result in corneal neovascularization. If the neovascularization is severe enough to extend close to the pupil, contact lens wear should...[Read More] Understanding Vascular Proliferation from Contact Lens Use: Risks and Prevention
