A client who has started using contact lenses visits a health care facility with an eye infection. The nurse learns that the client also has an eye abrasion. Which of the following is the most likely reason for the eye infection?
A) Contact lenses were not cleaned.
B) Contact lenses were new.
C) Contact lenses were rigid.
D) Contact lenses were colored.
A
Feedback:
The client likely did not clean the lenses properly. This likely caused both an infection and an abrasion in the eye. People who are not conscientious about following a routine for contact lens care are at a risk for infection, eye abrasion, and permanent damage to the cornea. New, rigid, and colored contact lenses are not causes of eye infection. Any type of lenses should be cleaned properly and thoroughly.
