Wearing decorative contact lenses has led to a case of keratitis. You should stop wearing the lenses immediately and go to the hospital for eye irrigation. Follow medical advice from a pharmacist regarding medication, which can effectively improve the condition. Applying warm compresses can help dilate blood vessels in the eye, enhance blood circulation, boost resistance and nourishment, and promote rapid healing of ulcers. If there is significant discharge, use normal saline or a 3% boric acid solution to rinse the eye more than three times daily, removing secretions, necrotic tissue, and bacterial toxins.
