Presence of spectacles and contact lenses - what does this mean
Spectacles and contact lenses are optical devices used to correct refractive errors of the eye, such as nearsightedness, farsightedness and astigmatism. refractive errors occur when the eye is unable to focus light onto the retina, resulting in blurred vision. spectacles and contact lenses work by changing the way light enters the eye, allowing it to be focused precisely onto the retina.
What happens during the disease - presence of spectacles and contact lenses
Spectacles and contact lenses can cause a variety of pathologies due to their physical presence. for example, spectacles can cause corneal abrasion and contact lenses can cause corneal ulceration. additionally, contact lenses can cause allergic reactions and irritation due to contact with the eyes. furthermore, the presence of spectacles and contact lenses can lead to an increased risk of developing dry eye syndrome due to the decreased amount of tears being produced.
