Do you sleep with your contact lenses on? Doing so increases your risk of an infection, says the CDC

November 08, 2018 -

One out of every three contact lens users will readily admit to taking a nap or sleeping without ditching their lenses. Both adolescents and adults are prone to this behavior. In its Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report, the CDC calls this one of the most dangerous yet widespread bad habits of people wearing contact lenses. That's because sleeping in contact lenses increases the chances of developing serious infections in the cornea by 600 to 800 percent.

Covid vaccines linked to organ transplant REJECTION

September 19, 2022 -

It is not that hospitals are refusing to perform transplant surgery on jab recipients, but rather that recipients' bodies are rejecting the organs. Whatever these injections are doing is causing organ transplants not to hold, we are told.

One type of transplant rejection specifically identified in the study is acute corneal allografts. "Fully vaccinated" transplant recipients end up developing a "systemic inflammatory response" post-jab that results in organ ...

Washing your contact lenses with tap water could result in blindness

December 06, 2016 - cornea was so extensive that doctors concluded there was no way to save vision in the eye. To prevent the infection from spreading further -- potentially even into the brain -- they removed the infected eyeball.

Acanthamoeba naturally occurs in most soils and bodies of water worldwide. The space between a contact lens and the eye is an ideal warm, moist habitat for its proliferation. Lack of oxygen behind the lens causes tiny ruptures in the cornea that ...

Lasik eye surgery failure drives TV meteorologist to commit suicide due to intense pain

December 15, 2018 -

Before her death, Starr had spoken out publicly about her trouble recovering from the Lasik SMILE procedure. This form of LASIK, which gained FDA approval in 2016, involves a surgeon creating a piece of tissue in the cornea with a femtosecond laser and then making an arc-shaped cut on the surface of the cornea, through which the tissue is extracted and then discarded. This reshapes the cornea to correct nearsightedness, and recovery normally takes ...

See clearly with this sweet cure: Study shows honey can help treat dry eye disease

September 27, 2023 - cornea, which starts the cascade of events that leads to DED. Oxidative stress and tear film hyperosmolarity both trigger inflammation in the ocular surface, which causes the death of many eye cells, including the goblet cells that produce mucin. Mucin is a lubricating and eye-clearing agent that also acts as a protective barrier for the cornea. DED occurs as a result of the loss of eye mucin.

Common symptoms of DED include:

Researchers: Eyes are a possible entry point for coronavirus

May 29, 2020 - cornea, and the border between the cornea and the white of the eye, called the limbus.

As described in their study, once SARS-CoV-2 successfully latches onto the receptors, it becomes much easier for the virus to infect the cells, which would subsequently facilitate their replication.

“Ocular surface cells including conjunctiva are susceptible to infection by SARS-CoV-2, and could, therefore, serve as a portal of entry,” lead researcher Lingli Zhou ...

A 2021 study in Anatomy & Cell Biology explored how fresh onion juice could help address structural and functional changes in the cornea, which are common as we age. The study conducted on rats revealed that applying diluted onion juice as eye drops over 12 weeks led to several improvements in the aged rats. These included lower intraocular pressure, increased tear production and the restoration of key layers of the cornea that had deteriorated ...
