Incorrect use of contact lenses is a great hazard

Release date: 2016-08-26

Unsafe use of contact lenses, such as wearing while sleeping, or using the same pair of glasses for too long can cause serious eye problems.

 

Michael Beach , of the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention , said, " Incorrect wearing and care of contact lenses can cause eye infections, sometimes leading to serious long-term damage. " Many ophthalmologists believe that the public is not paying enough attention to the hygienic condition of contact lenses.

 

An ophthalmologist at the Lenox Hill Hospital in New York said, “There are a lot of eye injuries associated with contact lenses. Unfortunately, many patients don’t think this is caused by contact lenses. ”

 

In this study, the researchers analyzed nearly 1100 contact lens-related infections reported to the FDA in 2005-2015 . According to reports, nearly one- fifth of them need corneal transplantation. Nearly 10% had to go to the hospital for emergency treatment.

 

Although the proportion of eye infections caused by contact lenses is small, the public's understanding of simple steps to prevent infection is necessary.

 

For example, experts recommend that patients with mild infection should visit a doctor every day or use some eye drops to treat eye infections.

 

According to the analysis, more than 25% of the infections caused by contact lenses are related to the fact that the wearer does not take off when sleeping. People should not wear contact lenses while sleeping, or they will increase the chance of eye infection by 6 to 8 times. At the same time, you should pay attention to hand disinfection when wearing or removing glasses.

 

Contact lenses provide a good way to correct vision when used correctly , but incorrect use of contact lenses can result in severe eye infections and permanent vision loss.
