Swimming without eye google can cause eye disease?!


Question:

Swimming without eye google can cause eye disease?


Answers:

Swimming with your contacts is never recommended and I've answered this question at least 8 times now! LOL

Your contacts can wash out - first of all.

Secondly - there are loads of bacteria in the water. Acanthameoba is an organism that can attach itself to your cornea and cause a very difficult to treat infection that, in the most severe cases, can cause blindness. Just because a person swims all the time with their lenses in and never had a problem doesn't mean that they couldn't possibly contract it. It only takes one time...its a major gamble with your vision and one that I sure wouldn't want to take...

Get some googles...I mean goggles! LOL
