Contact confessions: Tips for using contact lenses

22.05.12

Optometrist Sheri McGurk explains how dangerous it is when people do not take care of their contact lenses, "You're playing Russian roulette there."

Optometrist Sheri McGurk is shocked by the results of a study from the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center. It claims of the 30 million contact lens wearers in the US, 99 percent are doing something wrong.

Erika Avery wears contacts and explains one of the top offenses, "I've fallen asleep in them when I shouldn't have."

Doctor McGurk says the danger in doing that is you're cutting off oxygen to your eyes. Your eyes can quickly develop infections and bacterial ulcers like this, called pseudomonas.

Doctor McGurk explains how bad it can get, "Pseudomonas can eat through the cornea in 24 hours."

Another study by Bausch and Lomb finds 20 percent of contact wearers have stored their lenses in everything from beer to coke to baby oil. Erika has used tap water.

Erika says, "I've been guilty of that a few times."
