People would get eye infections if proper care was not maintained, or while wearing, it could only be on for at most two to three hours, any more than that would cause eye redness, swelling and at times pain. Earlier generation contact lenses did not allow the eye to breathe, and sort of trapped the eyes, depriving it of all moisture and softeness.
