MORE CONTACT LENS OVER WEAR

This is another patient who overwears Acuvue contact lenses. The above arrow points to where the blood vessels should stop. The lower one points to where they extend into this patient's cornea. Ideally contact lens wearers should give their eyes a few hours a day to breath and a couple days a week. We can replace our cars. We can't replace our eyes! These blood vessels will forever be there. But hopefully, with proper lens wear, they can become "ghost" vessels, with no blood in them.
