CONTACT LENS WEARERS NOT CARING FOR THEIR CONTACTS

As recently reported in the journal of Ophthalmology Management, a recent study conducted by The Contact Lens Council indicated that 11 million of the 35 million contact wearers do not take proper care of their contact lenses.
Recent alerts by the FDA warning of loss of sight by one of 2000 lens wearers seem to substantiate the results of the CLC study. Additional council results may be found at www.mycontactlens.org
Editors’s note: It has been known that some percentage of people abuse the use of contacts, feeling there is no danger at all: “I’ve been sleeping with my contacts for years and never had a problem”. This quote is familiar to all eye doctors when caring for a patient who has finally developed a severe infection from using contact lenses incorrectly.
