Follicular conjunctivitis can wear contact lenses

Follicular conjunctivitis is usually not allowed to wear contact lenses.

Follicular conjunctivitis is usually caused by eye infection with Chlamydia trachomatis. It will form obvious follicles on the conjunctiva surface, causing obvious foreign body sensation, pain, itching and other discomfort symptoms. Due to poor permeability of contact lenses, if follicular conjunctivitis patients wear contact lenses may cause irritation to the conjunctiva, leading to inflammation, and even affecting eye vision, follicular conjunctivitis is usually not allowed to wear contact lenses.

Follicular conjunctivitis patients can be treated with drugs, commonly used drugs usually include chloramphenicol eye drops, tobramycin dexamethasone eye drops, erythromycin eye ointment, etc.
