The dangers of contact lens wear

🚨 **Contact Lens Warning: Showering Gone Wrong** 🚨

Today, I saw a patient who sadly learned the hard way how risky contact lenses can be. She wore her lenses while showering, and microbes in the water caused a severe infection of the cornea. This resulted in corneal scarring and permanent vision loss in one eye.

She told me, “I wish I had just had LASIK instead." And she’s not alone. Studies show that modern laser vision correction is safer in the long term than years of contact lens wear.

If you’re a contact lens wearer, remember: **no lenses in the shower, swimming pool, or hot tub and always wash your hands prior to handling them ** Better yet, if you’re tired of the risks, LASIK or other vision correction options could be a game-changer.
