Dangerous contact lens solutions!
in Health ·
I sprinted straight to my eye doctor today because I’ve been dealing with this annoying feeling—like there's something stuck in my eye—whenever I wear my contacts. Honestly, I was kind of freaking out a little bit.
Anyway, the doctor told me not to lose my mind over it. Apparently, something similar happened with Renee last year, and it turned out to be just seven isolated cases in the USA. Renee had her solution tested, stripped out whatever substance might have triggered that fungus issue (it was a fungus back then), and put it back on the market. She’s expecting a similar move now. Just to be safe, I switched my solution, though I didn't toss my lenses—just rinsed them out with the new stuff.
Oh, and my eyes are totally fine. No microorganisms or anything like that found. 😍
