This Is Why You Should Never Sleep with Contacts In

The amoeba which causes this infection may be present in water sources like hot tubs, tap water, lakes, pools, etc.
According to the American Optometric Association, this infection happens at the same time as a microbial eye infection takes place.
So, if you’re been using tap water to rinse the lenses, if you’re swimming wearing the lenses in pool water, or if you wear them during sleep, you’re at a higher risk of catching it.
The treatment involves medicated eye drop application and in severe cases, surgery may be necessary.
B. keratitis
This cornea infection usually happens due to S. aureus or P. aeruginosa, bacteria present in the environment and the human body.
The risk of bacterial keratitis increases if you wear contact lenses extensively; if you have compromised immunity, or if you have undergone eye surgery.
The treatment is usually done with eye drops. If not treated timely, it could scare the cornea permanently.
