Beware: Disposable Contact Lenses and Eye Infections
Recent years have seen a rise in eye infections linked to contact lenses. While some blame specific products, poor hygiene is often the real culprit. Those who use soft contact lenses are particularly at risk for serious infections.
Fusarium Keratitis: A Growing Concern
One notable infection is Fusarium Keratitis. Although rare, it poses a significant threat. Symptoms can include blurred vision, redness, pain, and excessive tearing or discharge. Left untreated, it can lead to vision loss.
What to Do if You Suspect an Infection
If you wear contacts and experience discomfort, remove them immediately. If symptoms persist after rinsing your eyes, consult an eye doctor without delay. Prompt treatment is essential to prevent serious complications.
Reducing the Risk of Infection
Daily disposable lens wearers generally face a lower risk. However, improper habits like sleeping with lenses, neglecting to clean storage cases, skipping handwashing, or smoking can increase infection risks.
Surprisingly, purchasing lenses online triples the likelihood of infections due to mishandling. To minimize risks, buy from reputable stores. Proper storage and handling of your lenses are crucial to avoid dangerous infections.
Innovations in Lens Technology
A promising material called sulfoxide hydrogel polymer is now available, designed to enhance eye hydration and reduce protein buildup. This innovation may improve comfort for long wear and help prevent bacterial growth, a common cause of infections.
Prioritize hygiene and informed purchasing to enjoy the benefits of contact lenses without compromising eye health.
