What is a dressing contact?
The dressing is a contact lens for eye control and abnormalities. The doctor may prescribe a bandage contact within the patient care plan and the equipment can be left for several days. In some cases, the physician must remove the lens. This provides an opportunity for subsequent examination to see if the patient's eye is well recovering and checking any signs of complications.
Silicone is a popular material for dressing contacts because it breathes well, is highly resistant and can withstand colonization of infectious organisms. Contact will help maintain moisture and provide a layer of protection and insulation from the surrounding environment. The doctor may also prescribe analgesia and other medicines such as antibiotics to treat or prevent infections, depending on the nature of the eye problem.
Some reasons why a doctor could recommend bandage contact, include poorly healing surgical wounds, corneal erosion, keratitis, corneal dystrophy and epithelial defects. Wearing a dressing contact is much more comfortable nThe dressing of the eyes in the bandage to ensure protection and the result of healing can be better. Breathable bandages support faster, even healing and prevent water from drying out so that the tissues do not dry. Patients can take oral medicines and some types of eye drops when wearing a dressing contact, depending on the recommendations of the ophthalmologist.
After the doctor has taken a dressing contact, patients may notice blurred and fuzzy vision for several days. This is especially common after surgery, where it can take several weeks to fully recover the eye. The doctor will perform a vision test and may ask for a subsequent check to make sure that the patient's vision begins to lag behind. Patients who notice sudden changes in their vision or who begin to last pain and discomfort should turn to their doctors immediately. These symptoms may indicate complications.
Wearing a dressing contact may be necessary to accept some specialmeasures to protect the eye. People who are involved in sports, especially swimming, may want to check if they need further eye protection, such as glasses or masks. The activities that are known to stress their eyes, as digesting a lot of time in front of the computer, can also a potential problem. Patients may need some time off from work or accommodation to help them finish their tasks at work until their eyes have a chance to recover.
