The Dangers Of Sleeping In Contact Lenses
A woman has warned of the dangers of falling asleep while wearing contact lenses after coming close to permanently damaging her eyes.
Katie Richard, from Norwich, almost caused serious damage to her eyes and even risked blindness after repeatedly sleeping with her contact lenses in.
The 24-year-old, who had been wearing soft monthly disposable lenses since the age of 14, would regularly forget to take the lenses out before going to bed.
Then one morning she awoke to find that one of her eyes was very red and sore. The next day when she woke she was unable to open it.
Visiting her doctor she was told to go to the eye hospital for emergency treatment.
Here she was diagnosed as suffering from microbial keratitis, an infection of the cornea, the front part of the eye where lenses sit.
The specialist told Katie that the health of her eye had been deteriorating rapidly and if she hadn't sought treatment when she did she could have gone on to lose her sight.
She was prescribed steroid eye drops, which had to be taken every five minutes for the first three hours, then half-hourly through the night and hourly the next day. She also had to wear an eye patch.
Thankfully, she has since gone on to make a full recovery with no lasting damage to her eyes.
Katie now wants to warn other people of the dangers involved in the overuse of contact lenses.
