Eye see you rinsing your contacts with water… and I’m not a fan 👁️👄👁️ Water isn’t sterile, and organisms like Acanthamoeba can slip under lenses and cause serious eye infections. Protect those eyes! 👀 ✔ no water ✔ use proper solution ✔ remove lenses before swimming or showering #publichealth #health #infection #eye #eyecare

Nel video, il caso di una giovane donna colpita da cheratite da Acanthamoeba (AK): un’infezione oculare rara ma gravissima, causata da un microrganismo invisibile che si trova anche nell’acqua (mare, lago, piscina… persino nella doccia).
