In this insightful episode, Bharti and Harsh sit down with Dr. Rahil Chaudhury, leading eye doctor and cataract & refractive surgeon at Eye7 Hospitals to bust myths and reveal the lesser-known dangers of contact lenses, especially cosmetic ones.
While contact lenses are often seen as a convenient alternative to glasses or a fashionable tool to change eye color, Dr. Rahil warns that they come with serious risks if not used correctly. He explains that contact lenses sit directly on the cornea, the outermost layer of the eye, which is a living tissue that “breathes” and takes in oxygen directly from the air.
When lenses block this natural oxygen supply, it leads to a condition called corneal hypoxia, which can cause irritation, redness, burning, itching, excess tearing, and even long-term complications like corneal ulcers or infections. Colored lenses, which are often used for cosmetic reasons, are even more risky if worn casually without proper hygiene and medical advice.
The takeaway? Contact lenses, while helpful when medically prescribed and used responsibly, should never be taken lightly — especially not for cosmetic purposes alone. Dr. Rahil strongly advises viewers to consult an eye specialist before using any lens and to always follow safe lens care practices.
