Scientists agree, that improper care of contact
lenses can lead to development of the infectious process
seriously menacing to sight even if instructions on clearing
lenses are carefully observedl.
The group of scientists of university Sassari managed
to allocate from the infected eye of the patient bacterium
Bacillus cereus (the close relative of the Siberian ulcer),
causing food poisoning. And the preparations intended
for clearing of lenses, could not kill Bacillus cereus.
The lead analyses have shown, what exactly Bacillus cereus
became the reason of infectious process in an eye.
The reasons of eye infections most often become the wrong
maintenance and cleaning of lenses. In most cases clearing
is made with application of antibiotics. But it is impossible
to expect, that cleaning solutions will destroy all bacteria.
Action of solutions is directed only on the certain kinds
of bacteria.
When cleaning your lenses it is also important not to
forget about contact
lens case. Wash your case with soap at least once
a week.
