Doctor Finds 23 Contact Lenses in a Woman's Eye

A Californian doctor was surprised when she found 23 contact lenses in her patient's eyes. Ophthalmologist Katerina Kurteeva, MD, can be seen removing contact lenses from a woman's eye in a video posted on Instagram. According to the doctor 23 contact lenses had been beneath the eyelid for a month and were practically bonded together.


This has stirred up new consciousness among contact lens users to be more diligent about contact lens care.


Contact lens care & safety

The FDA has a set of guidelines regarding contact lens safety that is highly recommended for any contact lens users out there. But now here are some tips you might wanna follow.

  • Washing your hands, before putting them in and placing them out.
  • Using a proper contact lens storage solution for extended-wear contact lens
  • Contacting an ophthalmologist if any irritation occurs.

The Probable Cons

The CDC estimates that 45 million Americans utilize contact lenses. The use of contact lenses raises the danger of infections like microbial keratitis. Microbial keratitis can, in extreme circumstances, result in blindness or necessitate a corneal transplant. Prolonged use of contact lenses can also desensitize the cornea.

HEALTHY BITES

  • Lethal Lab-made virus: Lab-made coronavirus for research purposes turns out to be more lethal, which has sparked plenty of controversies.
  • Eating after working out: There isn't any right or wrong to what and when to eat after a workout. It is best to experiment until one finds a comfortable routine. 
  • Humidity & Health: Low and high relative humidity (RH) levels has an array of negative impact on health along with increasing a virus' likelihood of survival, and encouraging the development of mold and dust mites. All of these elements may be harmful to health and lower the quality of the air within the home.
  • Fat cell conversion: According to a recent study, the metabolite myristoylglycine may help with weight loss by converting white fat cells into brown fat cells.
