A member asked:

Who should i see about blepharitis irritation from contacts?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

See Eye MD now.: Contacts do not cause blepharitis but can increase the irritation of blepharitis and if not dealt with can lead to ulceration of the cornea which if not treated promptly and aggressively can lead to loss of vision.

Dr Villaplana agreed
