Abstract:
Soft contact lenses are a good alternative to the use of glasses for the correction of refractive defects. However, improper use can be associated with complications. Incorrect handling, poor hygiene, or over-use of the lenses can lead to poor tolerance, eye inflammation, and even visions sequelae. In this review, the most common and also the most serious are described, including the infectious and non-infectious complications associated with the use of soft contact lenses, including recommendations for their correct use.
