Dangerous harms can be encountered when wearing contact lenses

Wearing contact lenses can seriously damage your eyes. Therefore, consumers must pay attention when using this product.

Risk of blindness due to contact lenses

Scientists warn people who use contact lenses can blind their eyes if they have a common parasite found in tap water.

Acanthamoeba parasites are potential enemies for contact lens users. According to experts, this tiny single-celled parasite is often found in tap water, dust, sea and swimming pools. They can fatten themselves by eating bacteria that survive in dirty contact lenses.

When parasitic contact lenses are attached to the human eye, Acanthamoeba begins to corrode the cornea, the outermost layer of the eyeball and proliferate. The consequence of this bacterium attack will be symptoms of itchy eyes, watery eyes, blurred vision, light sensitivity, swelling and eye pain.

Suffer from amoeba eating corneas from wearing contact lenses

Recently British scientists have warned about a type of corneal amoeba potentially causing blindness for people wearing contact lenses.

Professors in the UK have concluded that parasites called Acanthamoera are a single-celled plant capable of being found in soil, water and even swimming pools, causing keratitis, leading to blindness.

Anyone can get corneal amoeba, but that risk is higher in people wearing contact lenses than those who do not wear these glasses. If you see symptoms such as eye pain, redness, eyes sensitive to light and blurred vision, you must go immediately to the ophthalmology facility to be diagnosed and treated promptly.

Permanent blindness due to wearing colored contact lenses

Colored contact lenses often have excessive chemical components, combined with bad habits when wearing glasses or eyes that are sensitive to weather can cause eye congestion, eye inflammation, and lack of oxygen. Severe hypoxia causes deformed eyes and eye infections, causing serious illnesses such as eye corneal perforation and the risk of permanent blindness.

Not only that, the color of the contact lenses also reduces the vision of the eye because it depends on the material of the contact lenses.

Reduce eye resistance

Contact lenses can reduce corneal contact with the air. The eyes are like the human body, also needing oxygen. If the contact between the eyes and the air is obstructed, it will lead to lack of oxygen, eye strain and eye resistance reduction.

Reduced sensation in the cornea

Colored contact lenses with lenses attached to the eyes in the long run will result in nerve paralysis resulting in reduced corneal sensations leading to corneal ulcers.
