Contact lenses usually refer to corneal contact lenses. Wearing contact lenses for a long time usually hurts the eyes.
Contact lenses generally come into direct contact with the cornea. Wearing contact lenses for too long will cause corneal hypoxia and affect corneal metabolism. And long-term use of contact lenses will lead to decreased corneal defense, unable to resist the invasion of external pathogens, and the possibility of keratitis.
