A 22-year-old female college student experienced dry eyes and foreign body sensation due to prolonged contact lens wear, leading to corneal hypoxia and symptoms like photophobia and blurry vision. Despite trying various eye drops and artificial tears, her condition did not improve even after halting contact lens use for six months. After receiving treatment with serum eye drops for about three months, her condition significantly improved, allowing her to study abroad. Overwearing contact lenses can lead to corneal hypoxia, increasing the risk of inflammation and infection. To prevent corneal hypoxia, it is recommended to limit contact lens wear to 8 hours, avoid sleeping with them, and prioritize high-oxygen-permeable materials. Symptoms like foreign body sensation and photophobia may indicate corneal abrasions, which can be treated with lubricating eye drops and serum eye drops to promote corneal repair. After treatment, maintaining eye care habits, such as selecting breathable lenses, limiting wear time, and proper hygiene, is essential.
