Are you a contact lens wearer? Here's what really scares your Optician. The last point is not for the sqeamish!😬
😱 Cheap novelty contact lenses bought online. Contact lenses are medical devices which should be safely fitted by your Opticians to avoid corneal injury.
😱 Toxic lash glue - are you applying those dramatic fake eyelashes with cheap unverified adhesives? Chemical burns are very scary.
😱 Sleeping in contact lenses- A sure fire way to be 8 times more likely to develop a serious sight threatening infection, and an even scarier statistic? 1 in 3 wearers admit to doing it!
😱 A dirty contact lens storage case. A direct cause of some pretty nasty infections. Replace it regularly!
😱 The tap water trap. Do not ever clean or store lenses with tap water! 💧 You are inviting a water borne parasite 🦠 to live in your eye. He goes by the name of Acanthamoeba. Give him chance to really settle in and you'll be potentially looking at a corneal transplant to save your sight!
Don't scare us! Be a responsible contact lens wearer.
