Abstract
Objective : To study the behaviors of contact lens cares , wear and complication of contact lens among teenage students in Uthaithani province.
Design : Cross-sectional study.
Methods : A descriptive study was applied to 140 teenage students who wore contact lens all over AmphoeMeuang District, Uthaithani Province. All of the samples were inquired through a set of questionnaires during December 2014 to June 2015. Result : Of the 140 teenage students who wore contact lens, most of them were female (92.14%) and the mean age was 16.82 years. Big-Eye contact lens were in favor among 50% of teenage students. Apparently, 78.57% wore monthly contact lens and 50.71% were dealt with local optical shops. It also found that 42.14% wore contact lens more than 8 hours per day and 32.14% rinsed them (but not rub) before storing. Some of the students (2.14%) simply put contact lens onto their eyes without washing their hands before so doing. Apart from this, 22.86% wore contact lens while sleeping and 10.71% put them on while swimming. 14.29% wore expired contact lens and 7.86% shared them with friends. It found that 107 samples (76.43%) had eye problems -- the most common symptom was burning sensation (45.8%). After feeling unusual symptoms, 15.89% still kept wearing contact lens and waited to see what would happen next. Most of them (63.58%) were not aware of complication that might affect.
Conclusions : Today, the amount of teens wearing contact lens trends to increase despite lacking of understanding the correct usage, cares and complication of contact lens. Education regarding proper usage and cares of contact lens as well as possible hazards related to consuming them will help decrease complication as such.
