The female singer is at risk of losing her eyesight if she continues to use contact lenses frequently.

On January 26, Huong Tram woke up with a red, painful, and pus-filled right eye and could not see clearly. The doctor diagnosed the singer with deep keratitis, which left a scar. The cause of this condition was that for the past 4-5 years, Huong Tram had been using contact lenses continuously.

Huong Tram's right eye was red, had discharge and could not open.

Recently, when she discovered keratitis, Huong Tram was advised by her doctor to temporarily stop using contact lenses. However, before an important event, the female singer "took a risk" to appear before the audience with her most beautiful appearance. This caused Huong Tram's eyes to become severely inflamed, unable to open the next morning.

Huong Tram said her right eye was constantly watery, painful and red for two days. The singer could not see clearly and needed someone to help her walk. After her last show at the Opera House, Huong Tram stopped all work to focus on recuperation.

After 5 days of treatment, Huong Tram's health has stabilized, her right eye's vision has decreased and is still weak so she cannot undergo myopia surgery. She has to use glasses instead of contact lenses and use eye drops as directed by the doctor.

She should only wear them for no more than 5 hours a day, pay attention to eye hygiene, and limit the use of the phone at night.

Doctors said Huong Tram's condition could worsen if not detected promptly, the most serious consequence being permanent vision loss.

9 notes when using contact lenses to protect your eyes

1. You should wear contact lenses before applying makeup:Wearing contact lenses after applying makeup can cause powder or mascara to fall into the lenses, causing discomfort and irritation.

2. Do not reuse old lens soaking solution:Once the lenses are removed from the solution, the solution will be contaminated by your hands or the tools used to remove the lenses. Therefore, re-soaking the lenses will cause eye irritation and infection. Another thing to note is that you should only use specialized solutions to soak lenses.

3. Clean the glass properly:Do not use tap water, drinking water, or filtered water to clean contact lenses. Drinking water, tap water, or filtered water still contain microscopic microorganisms that can cause eye irritation. Only use specialized water to clean contact lenses.

4. Do not reuse disposable contact lenses: LDisposable glasses are not resistant to dirt. Therefore, you should discard them immediately after use.

5. Before using glasses, you should have an eye examination:Those with eye diseases who wear glasses will cause eye irritation. Therefore, before deciding to switch to wearing contact lenses, they should go to the nearest eye hospital for doctors to examine and give an accurate conclusion. People with sensitive eyes should wear special glasses that can block ultraviolet rays.

6. Do not wear contact lenses for too long:The time to wear contact lenses depends on each person's health, eye condition and living environment. For those who often have to work in a polluted environment, they should only wear lenses for about 3 to 4 hours. In addition, contact lenses should also be removed during eye rest such as naps or overnight.

7. Do not wear contact lenses when you have eye pain:Attempting to wear them will damage the cornea, possibly causing permanent blindness.

8. Do not wear expired contact lenses:Contact lenses and cleaning solutions also have an expiration date. After this time, the lenses will lose their ability to protect themselves, impurities can stick to the lenses, and the solution can become contaminated. You should replace your lenses every 3-6 months.

9. Do not share contact lenses:This is one of the causes of spreading eye problems. Moreover, each contact lens will have a different size and shape due to the difference in eyeball size.
