OMG 佩戴隐形眼眼镜不当导致失明 I was blinded by my contact lens
OMG 佩戴隐形眼眼镜不当导致失明
When Irenie Ekkeshis’s eye started to itch she assumed it would soon settle down. It didn’t. Before long, she found herself in excruciating pain and lost her sight in that eye. And the cause may have been nothing more than handling her contact lenses with wet fingers. 刚开始Irenie Ekkeshis的眼睛有点痒，她以为过几天就没事了，然而并没有。不久就感觉有剧烈的疼痛，而且那只眼睛也看不见了。而这一切竟然只是因为她在手指湿的时候戴隐形。 One Saturday morning in January 2011, Irenie Ekkeshis woke up to find her right eye was streaming with tears. So she went to the chemist’s and picked up some eye drops. 2011年一月份一个周六早晨，Irenie Ekkeshis 起床后发现右边眼睛一直不停地流眼泪，她去药店买了些眼药水。 I thought I had a little infection that would clear up by Monday. But by that evening I couldn’t bear to go in my kitchen because I found the fluorescent lights too bright. It was painful. “我以为自己是有点小感染，星期一就会没事的。但是当天晚上连厨房都去不了，因为感觉荧光灯太刺眼了，眼睛特别疼。” Within days she was told she had Acanthamoeba Keratitis (AK), a rare but serious eye infection caused by a micro-organism that’s common in tap water, sea water and swimming pools. 几天后医生告诉她，她得了棘阿米巴性角膜炎，这种眼部感染很少见，但是很严重。主要是由自来水、海水、泳池里的微生物引起的。 I was feeling very shocked and frightened, as by then I had lost the vision in my right eye. It was like looking through a foggy bathroom mirror. I could see colours and shapes but not much else, she says. “我又震惊又害怕，因为当时我的右眼已经看不清了，感觉像是透过浴室玻璃看东西，只能看到颜色和大致形状。” I hadn’t had a shower or gone swimming in my lenses, Ekkeshis says. "But I learned that even washing your hands and not drying them properly before handling lenses can cause it." “我洗澡或是游泳时从来不戴隐形眼镜，”Ekkeshis说道：“但是我才知道就算是戴眼镜之前洗了手没好好擦干也会感染。” She could not work and eventually quit her job as a travel company director. 没办法工作的她最终只好辞去了旅行社主管的工作。 You do things to help cope day to day. So if I’m going to a meal with friends I try to sit closer to the wall on my right side so I can see everyone, she says. “每天都要想办法应付这件事。如果我去和朋友约饭就尽量坐在右边靠墙位置，这样我就可以看到大家了。” She completely lost her vision in that eye in 2014. Doctors have told her they suspect that inflammation caused by AK was the source of the problem - and that her sight is unlikely to return. 2014年她的右眼彻底看不见了。医生说他们怀疑主要原因还是棘阿米巴性角膜炎发炎，而且她的视力也没有恢复的可能性了。
The eyelid is now droopy, which is common in AK. 现在她的眼皮也有所松弛，这是棘阿米巴性角膜炎的普遍症状。 My advice to people is simple. Never let your lenses come into contact with water - in the shower, swimming or when washing. “我的建议很简单。就是永远不要让你的隐形眼镜接触到水—洗澡、游泳、甚至洗漱时都不行。” Contact lens dos: 隐形眼镜使用注意事项： Wash and dry your hands before handling your lenses 佩戴隐形眼睛之前洗手并且擦干 Apply your lenses before putting on make-up 先戴隐形再化妆 Keep your eyes closed when using hairspray or other aerosols 喷发胶或者喷雾时闭上眼睛 |
