Can I feel dry eyes when wearing contact lenses?
戴隱形眼鏡時我可能會感到眼睛乾燥嗎？
Contact lens use is thought to be closely associated with dry eye. About 80% of soft contact lens wearers and about 70% of hard contact lens wearers complain of dry eyes. Tears are used as a lubricant between contact lenses and the pupil (cornea) to protect your eyes. In a state where tears are reduced, the cornea and conjunctiva are likely to be damaged, which in turn reduces their resistance to bacteria and causes serious corneal infections.
隱形眼鏡的使用被認為與乾眼症密切相關。 大約80％的軟性隱形眼鏡佩戴者和大約70％的硬性隱形眼鏡佩戴者抱怨眼睛乾燥。眼淚在隱形眼鏡和瞳孔（角膜）之間用作潤滑劑，以保護您的眼睛。在眼淚減少的狀態下，角膜和結膜很可能會受到傷害，進而會降低它們對細菌的抵抗力並引起嚴重的角膜感染。
