Rare parasite causes severe eye infection after man swims in contacts
A man suffered a dangerous eye infection that nearly cost him his sight after he went swimming while wearing contact lenses. Medical professionals caution that water containing contaminants can introduce harmful bacteria and parasites to those who wear lenses. Engaging in swimming while wearing contacts raises the danger of infection substantially, which can lead to serious harm to the cornea. Specialists advise that you should always take out your contact lenses before you get into a pool or take a shower.
