A member asked:
Can you ge corneal abrasion due to contact lenses?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not common: Contact lens problems include overwear, infection, intolerance, eyedryness, and vascular ingrowth. Abrasion would not occur from these so the only likely means to get an abrasion with a contact is during the act of putting it in or taking it out.
