Here’s why you shouldn’t store your contact lens case in the bathroom.If you wear 2-week or monthly contacts, you likely place your lenses in solution, discard the leftover, and leave the case to dry near the sink. However, this exposes your case to bacteria from the toilet’s splash zone, or “toilet plume,” where microscopic particles can spread into the air every time you flush.While it may seem convenient to keep your case by the sink, storing it in a different room can help reduce the risk of bacteria growth. Where do you store your contact lens case?#ContactLens #EyeCare #EyeHealth #contacts #eyedoctor

You flush your toilet aerosol is sprayed into the air. And how much bacteria comes along for the ride. This is why we always say to never leave your contact lenses in the bathroom. Hi, I'm Doctor Rupa Wong, board certified ophthalmologist. If you wear two week or monthly contact lenses, you probably have a case like this. When you put your contacts in your eyes, you take the tops off, you throw out the contact lens solution and leave it just like this to dry, usually on your sink counter. What's the problem with that? Well, the toilet flush. Just as demonstrated earlier, the toilet plume has the microscopic waste particles that spray. Into the air when you flush a toilet and where can it end up? On the inside of your contact lens case, which can put you at risk for bacterial infection. I've seen patients like this where contact lens wearers with bacterial infections of their cornea. We ask about risky behavior like swimming in their contact, showering or sleeping in their context, and they don't have any of that. But when they bring their contact lens cases into the office, we culture them and we find bacteria growing. So avoid putting it in your bathroom, put it somewhere else.

When you wear sunglasses, you enhance your ability to drive safely by reducing glare and enhancing contrast. Glare from the sun, headlights, and reflective surfaces can impair your vision and cause distractions. Sunglasses help minimize glare and provide better visibility, allowing you to focus. 🚗#UVSafetyMonth #SunProtection #UVProtection #SummerProtection #Eyeglasses #Sunglasses #EyeSafety #LifeAtMyEyeDr
