Overview
Contact lens wearers must be sure to wash their hands and pay very close attention to cleanliness while handling their lenses to prevent corneal ulcers. Also, contact lenses should not be worn overnight or when swimming, and eye lubricants should be used prior to lens removal to avoid scratches due to dryness. Prompt, early attention by an ophthalmologist or optometrist for an eye infection may prevent ulcers from forming.
