EP 837 Can This Reverse Blindness?

New technology in the form of a "bionic eye" implant may help restore sight to those who suffer from blindness.

Wearing contact lenses, instead of bulky prescription lenses, has been a choice available to eyeglass wearers for many decades. The downside to using these insertable lenses is they need more care than traditional eyeglasses. 

For whatever reason, some people have some really odd ways they may treat, disinfect and take care of these devices.

For example, some people will use tap water or their own saliva to moisten lenses before inserting them back into their eyes. This can blur vision and repeated practice can cause a number of problems, including poor vision. 

While the clouding of your eye’s lenses as a result of something like cataracts can be corrected with surgery, potential disease from bacteria transferred from tap water or your mouth to your eyes is a different case altogether. 

Whether users simply ran out of regular disinfection solution, believe this bodily fluid is acceptable or they’re just being lazy, any excuse is dangerous for vision. 

To avoid potential problems with your invaluable vision, please take notice of these five things you shouldn’t be doing as a wearer of contact lenses...
