There’s a lot of person who are using contact lenses. It was estimated that 125 million people worldwide use contact lenses, but don't you know that there's a dangerous parasite that can literally leave you blind because of contact lenses?
Contact lens is a thin lens placed directly on the surface of the eye. It was considered medical devices and can be worn to correct vision, or for cosmetic or therapeutic reasons.
Ashley Hide is 18-year-old high school senior who is also using contact lens. Like others she didn’t know that using contact lens can bring parasite into her eyes. She’s always using her contact lens for reading books without making sure that her contact is clean. Until one day she felt something wrong in her eyes, that’s why she went to the hospital to check her eyes.
Ashley said, “The doctor scrape my eyes and they had to one time drill into my eye and it was really nasty.” Her one eye was red and throbbing. Doctors find out that Ashley had acanthamoeba a tiny parasite that was eating right through her cornea.
Doctors do say contact lenses that were not cared for or worn properly can be dangerous. That’s why Dr. Adam Clarence recommends all his patients to use disposable contacts.
For those who are using contact lens you should use disposable contact lens because every day you start with fresh sterile set of contacts that have never been worn if you don’t want to have a parasite in your eyes.
