Info about eye ulcers?

I am an optometrist and this is what I tell my patients. Corneal ulcers are very serious. They can lead to permanent vision loss this mostly from the scar that will remain if its located in your central vision. Its a open sore on the cornea that was caused from constant continuous rubbing most likely from something caught under your CL (ie makeup, dirt particle) it is kind of like getting a blister on your foot if you walked around all day/week with a rock in your shoe. With proper treatment and care it will heal without worry. But from this point on you are going to be more prone to getting corneal ulcers since your cornea is now weakened in that area. After you have been out of your contacts for the suggested time by your eye doc, I would consider getting the fit re-evaluated and see if maybe you need to be switched to a different lens. Proper cleaning and removal will ensure that debris does not build up and cause future ulcers. Other than the possibility of a scar depending on your ulcer's location....you should be fine
