A poorly fitted contact lens will most commonly result in
  1. a satisfied patient.
  2. macular degeneration.
  3. a corneal abrasion.
  4. iritis.
Explanation
Answer: C - A corneal abrasion.

A poorly fitted contact lens will most commonly result in a corneal abrasion. If a contact lens has not been fitted properly, it poses the risk of touching the actual cornea instead of resting on the moist layer on the cornea’s surface. A corneal abrasion will lead to red eye as well as giving pathogens entry into the cornea.
