I have an 18 y.o female client that i have fit with contacts for the first time. K's are average, rx is only -1.25 ou, patient otherwise healthy. The optometrist said that she is okay to wear contacts.

Problem; in the right eye only,
when she puts on the contact lens, her eye waters excessively. After several minutes the watering stops and there is a white purulent secretion from the lateral part of the upper and lower eyelids. This purulent ejection floats around the eye. Some times it appears ( had her come into my store repititively throughout the day) constantly or sometimes it will disappear.

I have swithched the type of solution once and have observed her putting the lenses in and she does absolutely nothing wrong in handling the lens.

I am wondering what this may be caused by and if it poses any harm.

referred her back to her o.d with the contacts in and the o.d. said that it should eventually go away. (althugh he did not explain to the pt. what is causing this ejection)

I appreciate any help!
