NEVER GO SWIMMING WITH YOUR CONTACTS. Thank you so much for sharing your experience. I'll never do that ever. Acanthamoeba is what I read is commonly found in swimming pools. We contact wearers have a 90% higher risk of contracting the bacteria.
Yeah we’re actually not even supposed to SHOWER in contact lenses because of the microorganisms that may be in the water. These microorganisms are safe to bathe in & drink but they aren’t safe for eyes with contact lenses on them
Girlllll you’re so beautiful. You know why? Because you shared this video. You did this to help us. Which is SO big you have no idea. Thank you so much and once again YOURE GORGEOUS😤💘
Thank you so so so much for sharing your experience and warning others. Lesson learned! I'm totally the type that would forget to take them out if I were going to go swimming (I've jumped in pools with my glasses on before). If there's ever a day I'm going to swim, it's a glasses day. I hope your eye has healed since uploading this! Sending you love and prayers.
Oh my gosh. I am sending you so much positivity and prayer. How are you doing now? I so pray that you are healing ❤️ Thank you for sharing your story. I found this when I was searching for reasons to stop wearing contact lenses, because I’m sick and tired of them. Hugs XXXX
seekcolor thank you! It is healing, much better than here in the vid. My vision is still messed up in that eye unfortunately but I’m optimistic it’ll heal! Contacts can be great they just have a lot of potential disasters we aren’t told about or taught how to properly wear/take care of them!
Taylor Love I am SO happy to hear you’re healing :) the body is amazing and I think it always wants to be in its optimal state and will work to heal itself over time through everything. My friend was paralyzes from the neck down and doctors told him you’ll never move any part of your body ever again but with time and Faith and optimism and exercise he can now move his hands and upper-body quite well. I hope your recovery is miraculous and never lose hope ❤️
I'm just seeing this.. I felt so bad, I hope all is well with you now, how are you coming along as of now Nov 2021.. May your eye continue to heal. God bless🙏🏽🙏🏽
Thank you. I've been taking my eyes for granted by not caring for my contacts and wearing old ones. I'm so sorry you had to have this happen to you juat so I would pull my head out of my ass. For whatever reason your video knocked some sense into me and how I have been taking even my life for granted on so many levels. I pray your eye healed and that you're worries and insecurities healed with it. I'm grateful for you and I'm glad I saw this. I googled it because my eyes are always hurting from not taking care If them. I wish you the best, lovely lady. Thank you again! Xoxoxo may God send you whatever you ask for today tomorrow and forever.
It’s petrifying to go through something like that. I wear contact lenses and have experienced the pain of catching eye infections a couple of times due to sleeping with lenses on. It only made me realise how imperative it is to take care of your eyes and how precious they are. You are so strong that despite going through something so grave, you have a smile on your face, and decided to warn others. Hopefully, you get better at the earliest. Stay brave.💓
You are a beautiful person inside & out. I know your video is 3 years old but I pray that your road to recovery & healing of your eye & your spirit is/was quick. Bless you & thank you for your bravery in sharing part of your life's story. 🙏❤️
That's an eye ulcer! I have had that too! when I was 13 I was new to contacts and no one really told me how to take care of them. So I wasn't aware that you shouldn't wash your contact lens case with water. I thought it was suppose to be cleaned with water and water could do no harm cause it water!!! So after a month of me cleaning the case with tap water (5-6 times) one night my eye was super red and itchy. I was unusual case my eyes were super good with contacts but I didn't think too much of it and slept. Next morning it was super red but still I waited for a day to heal. The next day I could see a white ball in my pupil and consulted an online doctor. He asked my family to take me to a doctor. Thank god it was the initial stage and it healed in 4 days. Very scary tho
Thank you so much for making this video. 🥺 I pray you make a full recovery. God bless you girl! Thank you, I’ve gotten real lazy with my contact hygiene and this video made me realize to take care of what I have.
I had a. Orbes transplant and it was the best thing I ever did. The recovery was a year but I wore a pirate patch and could see out of the other eye. I was legally blind in that eye so I have to wear a contact lenses on this of the graft but it is been over 35 years and it’s still great
thanks for making this video ..i was lazy with taking care of my eyes and contacts and now idecided to follow the tips and really take care of my contacts and clean them ..replace the cleaning solution which i rarely do and i wish that you recovered and with you the best
You are such a strong young lady and I command you. Just started wearing contact lenses and I’m a bit worried sometimes and try real hard to follow the instructions. Definitely listening to you will help me a lot. Stay positive and you have a beautiful life ahead of you. Thank you for sharing
I truly feel bad for you. I hope all gets better. If iam honest they tell you at the eye doctor the warning of swimming in contacts. If people would listen to those warning this horrible thing wouldn't happen. Lesson learned. Hate ta say it. God bless you.
my grand mother came to see me and i wear contacts, she said my eyes look smaller with contacts in . and i just dismissed it and when on with my day i then thought about it and i looked it up and found this story .. thank you for sharing! cause she said something might be happening to my eyes she was concerned.
I’m glad I watched this, I was going to get some contacts. Thank you for this video, you’re so beautiful and strong for sharing your story. I will stick to wearing glasses
Thank you for sharing, I sleep with my contacts in way too often... just out of stupid lazyness. Hope you made a full recovery. Lots of love from Germany. ♡
Stop sleeping in them ASAP. Over wearing my contacts is why this is happening to me right now but in both eyes. I don't wish this kind of pain and torture on my worst enemy. It's no joke. That I can promise you.
@@Ghostyyyy-l2i tbh idk what brand it is i tried searching on Google but no results 🤣 My lens power are -11,-12 left and right and they came in two small transparent bottles where it's written "Bio-42" and nothing else except the power The shop that ordered those said that i can wear them for 14-16hrs daily and they will last for a year. So if u know the brand name please let me know too
This sounds like something was in the water. Been wearing contacts for 14 years or so now and worn them everyday basically the whole 14 years. I’ve even had. To where my eye was super red and was stinging and very very sensitive to light. Even to the point where my eye hurt so bad it was like a muscle ache or headache.. but in my eye if that makes any sense at all. It was awful and I couldn’t wear contacts for days at a time when that happened. I’d go 4 days without wearing them in that case. Anytime you feel like there a lash or something in your eye definitely take the contact out where it is occurring because the contact can be torn and a torn contact hurts like hell and will make your eye Red. But throughout e 14 years or so wearing contacts I’ve never had an issue where i seen Pus or anything like that. To me it sounds like something in that body of water you swam in did this to you.. some chemical maybe or something. I wish you the best however and hope you’re ok now 🙏🏼
Parasite the eye was turning red was because the red blood cells were being eaten by the parasite and when the blood cells run out they start eating the cells of your eye itself
@@taylorlove643 I wanted to know how your eye was healing after all you went through . I think you're going going to make a full recovery in this case. God can use these mistakes to make us submit to him. When you look to God he said alot about eyes he struck saul down and there was a man instructed by God to pray for saul who became Paul. You see some times we have to go to Go God. And the prayer that's going to really heal you might not be your own so you need to listen. Do you want God to heal your eye . I strongly believe that God can heal you're Eyes
Oh my God 🥺... my right eye has been burning me and I can't open it either.. I s a this video and I immediately took my contacts. Im so scared now. I pray to God, it'll get better
thank god for people like you. you have no idea how many people you have helped ❤️❤️❤️ i hope u recover asap edit:also i just saw your update ,so happy for you🥰
Thank you so much for sharing your experience, I hope it helps a lot of people to be more careful about their eye health. Wishing you a speedy recovery :)
I went to the cottage and I left my contacts in for three weeks and now my veins grew and formed on my iris. I was warned I could go blind and that he never seen eyes like mine since 2007. I m so scared and now I'm only wearing glasses for 3 years im told. Prayers
I’ve been in similar situation for me it took about a week for my eye to heal and started seeing again. My problem started because I work with my eyes e contact lenses on and it I went home and was exhausted so I didn’t remove them before I sleep. I slept with them woke up and couldn’t open my left eye. Hardly open it and removed the lenses went to hospital and they cleaned my eye and I was hardly open it and it was all red like blood. It was super sensitive to light and I was hardly open it for the first day. After about a week it became better. It’s bad habit to sleep contact lenses on and I learned that the hard way I did it for long time but it’s big lesson for me because the doctor told me that I might lose Vision if I keep do in it. I’ve been trying to do the Lasik surgery I think it’s better option specially if you don’t like glasses
Father God bless this woman and give her eyes to see and ears to hear in the spirit realm show her mercy Grace and counsel and heal her eye Lord in Jesus mighty name amen father God bless this woman and build a hedge of protection around her and just show her that you love her Lord and that Satan wants her soul in your mighty name Jesus amen
Thanks for sharing your experience! this has helped me a lot to be cautious on how i use contact lenses (specially because it will be my first time)and also to be grateful with our body 💙 Again thank you so much ! i hope you can recover soon 🌺
First anyone who thinks they have a scratched cornea do not think it will heal on its own most times it wont and you have a huge risk of infection and scarring blindness. Second you are so beautiful its hard to accept but you WILL live your wonderful full life just take good care of your good eye protect it and everyone never put your face, head, hair, eyes in any body of water like a pool, lake, beach put ur body but. Keep your head out i never put my face in those water places or wear good tight fitting goggles dry your whole face b4 taking them off get in the water dont be scared get in enjoy but just your body water will splash but just dont wet your face. Any how big hugs your beautiful hun take care. Im an ophthalmic assistant for 8 years we see this all the time i myself almost gave myself a corneal ulcer from sleeping in contacts which i knew better so even if contacts say its ok to sleep in them i wouldn't do it do it all still but especially not longer than one or 2 days idk contacts are alot of trouble. Thank you for doing this video i know it will help alot of people out. Hugs n love 💙❤️ honey i know its hard but you strive you live you keep your spirits up ok try and keep positive see if there is physical therapy idk hun but you do not give up your plans hun . hugs n love p.s. Im also a contact wearer -4.25 in both eyes 😇💙❤️💙❤️
I'm going through this right now in both eyes. This is the worst thing I've ever been through in my life. I had no idea how important my eyesight was until it was gone. Im just starting to be able to see again. I'll NEVER wear another contact lens as long as I live. I hope we all have a full recovery.
@@taylorlove643 Hi ...sorry for such a late reply. I finally healed completely from using steroidal eye drops and antibiotic cream. I'm lucky to not have to have a cornea transplant. The only lasting issue I have is my vision went from +1.25 to +4.00. Talk about an important lesson learned the hard way. How are you doing now?
Such a beautiful person. Brave to do this video. I hate this happened to you, but happy you are the kind of person who would tell your story to help others. I love you for this. Many blessings to you, dear. Praying for a beautiful, adventurous, and happy New Year to you. ❤❤❤ Don't let it claim your self- esteem; still beautiful, intelligent, meaningful, and loved. Thank you
hope you are doing good after that situation. thanks for the heads up! was thinking of getting contacts to freedive, will keep researching. kind of you to advice from experience. thanks!
I’m really late to the game here, but I do wish you oceans of love 🌊❤️ And hope that you are all healed up by nw and that this awful experience has passed and your eye is all better now! 💖
I was going to suggest taking fish oil supplements...but then I saw this video is 3 years old. Still, couldn't hurt. Fish oil is great for the eyes and brain. I hope you're doing better!!!!
Hi I had eye problem as well.whn I newly started contact lenses once I hurts my eyes badly and it became red and painfull. but thn some one advice Me to wash my eye with pink salt like to make water hot and put just little bit pink salt 8n it and the let the water cool like bit warm as can put in ur eyes...so I did this few time a day and it really helped as lot in a day .two my eyes become normal...
Thank you for sharing your video. I watched this today after I had my right eye got a little bit irritated after wearing my contact lens for a little bit longer than I should be.
As an optician when we do our contact training we emphasize the three S's when wearing contacts...no Swimming, Showering, or Sleeping with contacts on. Sorry you were misinformed by your eye doctor.
People often ignore the warning because they get away with so often. Problem is there always that one chance in say ten that you don't get away with it and this happens. This would be a harsh lesson in not to take your eyesight for granted and do as they tell you should do. Some of us don't get the second chance even when we did nothing wrong and start losing our sight to myopic macular degeneration thanks to nothing more then the genetic lottery.
What about Air Optix Day and Night contacts that are FDA approved for overnight wear ? Would you recommend them as a safe option? I was actually planning on getting these, so any advice would be much appreciated.
@@melinasaintil848 no even if they are us fda approved it's better to consult ur personal optician before using them overnight. Sleeping with contacts on is harmful.
I once wore contacts but never had any pain etc. But i think the second time i went too buy a new one, after a week or 2 wearing it i had problems. First one of it fell on the ground and probably it was damaged (which i can't see with my naked eye) so i washed it and wore it but my eye went so red it felt irritated like something was itching in my eye but there was nothing. So i took it off and luckily after a few days the irritation went away. Yet 3rd time i wore contacts same thing happens, i think its plastic probably got cut so yeah the irritation again. Sometimes i do hate wearing glasses because yeah wearing glasses is way saver so
Joanna Mycka I’m so sorry you’re going through this too! They found pseudomonas aeruginosa but suspect an amoeba still (very difficult apparently for it to show up). It hasn’t gotten any better in 3 weeks now so I’m not sure what’s going on :/ what did they find for you? How are you handling the pain + discomfort + just the crazy experience in general?
Joanna Mycka oh dear I feel for you. This happened to me while I was in a foreign country but thankfully I had a couple friends who have shown me so much love and support through it all. I’m in Germany now but will be flying home to California soon. Happy to hear the pain has gotten a little better, I know exactly how you feel. My cornea still hasn’t closed and has an ulcer on it so it’s quite painful but we will heal and eventually this will be over. Do you have a scar on your eye too or did you catch it before that happened? I’m here for you 💜
Joanna Mycka also I completely understand everything you’re saying :) your English is fine! Going out is hard for me as well, be gentle with yourself it’s only been a week. As for what I can see, I do see shadows and light. My vision in the eye is currently “hand motion”. You?
It's the same in terms of vision. Don't know yet how big my scare gonna be as infection in my eye is still active (it will be one left afterwords for sure). Is your eye still infected ?
Joanna Mycka unfortunately yes mine is still infected - that’s why they suspect more than just the pseudomonas (they say there’s likely an amoeba too). What drops do they have you on?
Decided not start wearing contact lense As I was having strong desire yo wearing contact lense to look more stylish,but now I thinks..what I have is sufficent 4 me
What I've learned so far about wearing contacts is that you can't take a shower, go swimming, or workout because of the sweat, while wearing them. Bacteria attaches to the lens, then gets into your eye.
NEVER GO SWIMMING WITH YOUR CONTACTS. Thank you so much for sharing your experience. I'll never do that ever. Acanthamoeba is what I read is commonly found in swimming pools. We contact wearers have a 90% higher risk of contracting the bacteria.
Yeah we’re actually not even supposed to SHOWER in contact lenses because of the microorganisms that may be in the water. These microorganisms are safe to bathe in & drink but they aren’t safe for eyes with contact lenses on them
Exactly!! You guys got it
Can I drink ?
Wow I’ve never known this and wear contacts daily. 😱 and I live on a lake😱
what if it’s the beach ?

At least don't lie to her. This is not beautiful. She fucked up and that's ok. She has qualities, obviously the closed eye is not attractive.
Thank you so so so much for sharing your experience and warning others. Lesson learned!

Bacteria
@Draylynn Taylor i am so fucking disgusted but wow this is so interesting
Yeah this comment calmed my fears,i was super sure it was a bacteria as well. If you're gonna shower with them ,just buy goggles and stay safe
Parasite the eye was turning red was because the red blood cells were being eaten by the parasite and when the blood cells run out they start eating the cells of your eye itself

Im an ophthalmic assistant for 8 years we see this all the time i myself almost gave myself a corneal ulcer from sleeping in contacts which i knew better so even if contacts say its ok to sleep in them i wouldn't do it do it all still but especially not longer than one or 2 days idk contacts are alot of trouble. Thank you for doing this video i know it will help alot of people out. Hugs n love 💙❤️ honey i know its hard but you strive you live you keep your spirits up ok try and keep positive see if there is physical therapy idk hun but you do not give up your plans hun . hugs n love p.s. Im also a contact wearer -4.25 in both eyes 😇💙❤️💙❤️
I'm going through this right now in both eyes. This is the worst thing I've ever been through in my life. I had no idea how important my eyesight was until it was gone. Im just starting to be able to see again. I'll NEVER wear another contact lens as long as I live. I hope we all have a full recovery.
How are you now?
@@taylorlove643 Hi ...sorry for such a late reply. I finally healed completely from using steroidal eye drops and antibiotic cream. I'm lucky to not have to have a cornea transplant. The only lasting issue I have is my vision went from +1.25 to +4.00. Talk about an important lesson learned the hard way.
How are you doing now?
Such a beautiful person. Brave to do this video. I hate this happened to you, but happy you are the kind of person who would tell your story to help others. I love you for this. Many blessings to you, dear. Praying for a beautiful, adventurous, and happy New Year to you. ❤❤❤ Don't let it claim your self- esteem; still beautiful, intelligent, meaningful, and loved. Thank you
Thank you for this!! Lots of love to you ❤️
hope you are doing good after that situation. thanks for the heads up! was thinking of getting contacts to freedive, will keep researching. kind of you to advice from experience. thanks!
I’m so sorry this happened to you
How long was it from when you got into the water to when you took your contacts out?
I’m really late to the game here, but I do wish you oceans of love 🌊❤️
And hope that you are all healed up by nw and that this awful experience has passed and your eye is all better now! 💖
I was going to suggest taking fish oil supplements...but then I saw this video is 3 years old. Still, couldn't hurt. Fish oil is great for the eyes and brain. I hope you're doing better!!!!
Thank you!
May God bless U for warning us may He continue to comfort su thru kind pipo.

Thank you for sharing your story❤ best regards from Denmark
Even though it was a while ago keep your head up stay strong I am totally blind you’ll be alright
Hi I had eye problem as well.whn I newly started contact lenses once I hurts my eyes badly and it became red and painfull. but thn some one advice Me to wash my eye with pink salt like to make water hot and put just little bit pink salt 8n it and the let the water cool like bit warm as can put in ur eyes...so I did this few time a day and it really helped as lot in a day .two my eyes become normal...
Thank you for sharing your video. I watched this today after I had my right eye got a little bit irritated after wearing my contact lens for a little bit longer than I should be.
I’m so sorry for your pain ands suffering
As an optician when we do our contact training we emphasize the three S's when wearing contacts...no Swimming, Showering, or Sleeping with contacts on. Sorry you were misinformed by your eye doctor.
People often ignore the warning because they get away with so often. Problem is there always that one chance in say ten that you don't get away with it and this happens. This would be a harsh lesson in not to take your eyesight for granted and do as they tell you should do. Some of us don't get the second chance even when we did nothing wrong and start losing our sight to myopic macular degeneration thanks to nothing more then the genetic lottery.
I'm new to contacts can I play soccer in contacts?
@@lilrocket2366 yes i do play football with them
I think you can play all sports except swimming
What about Air Optix Day and Night contacts that are FDA approved for overnight wear ? Would you recommend them as a safe option? I was actually planning on getting these, so any advice would be much appreciated.
@@melinasaintil848 no even if they are us fda approved it's better to consult ur personal optician before using them overnight. Sleeping with contacts on is harmful.
I once wore contacts but never had any pain etc. But i think the second time i went too buy a new one, after a week or 2 wearing it i had problems. First one of it fell on the ground and probably it was damaged (which i can't see with my naked eye) so i washed it and wore it but my eye went so red it felt irritated like something was itching in my eye but there was nothing. So i took it off and luckily after a few days the irritation went away. Yet 3rd time i wore contacts same thing happens, i think its plastic probably got cut so yeah the irritation again. Sometimes i do hate wearing glasses because yeah wearing glasses is way saver so
Thank you for Sharing your story🙏🏻🙏🏻
Thank you very much for your information! I hope you'll be fine.💞♥️♥️♥️
Thanks 4 sharing to the public
What kind of buffoon goes swimming (in a lake at that) with contacts in? What do you think is going to happen??
You said that you swim in the lake how did you know there was no chemicals in the lake that might of affected the contact lens
And I'm here searching for video's on how to wear contact lenses and how often I should wear them so that I don't hurt my eye
That eye doc that told u can sleep in them should have gotten fired and sued I’m so sorry for your eye and you as a whole that’s heartbreaking
So sorry this happened to you 🥺
How are youdoing, sweet lady? I hope all better 2 years later💗
Thank you! Just posted an update
I am sorry ..
Hey there!.. How's your eye now? Hope for a ray of light in there 😬😬... Should I buy them or not?
You are so brave
Never showed in them either. There is bacteria in tap water and can cause damage.
I am just experiensing the same thing...Do yoi know what kind of bacteria infected your eye?
Joanna Mycka I’m so sorry you’re going through this too! They found pseudomonas aeruginosa but suspect an amoeba still (very difficult apparently for it to show up). It hasn’t gotten any better in 3 weeks now so I’m not sure what’s going on :/ what did they find for you? How are you handling the pain + discomfort + just the crazy experience in general?
Joanna Mycka oh dear I feel for you. This happened to me while I was in a foreign country but thankfully I had a couple friends who have shown me so much love and support through it all. I’m in Germany now but will be flying home to California soon. Happy to hear the pain has gotten a little better, I know exactly how you feel. My cornea still hasn’t closed and has an ulcer on it so it’s quite painful but we will heal and eventually this will be over. Do you have a scar on your eye too or did you catch it before that happened? I’m here for you 💜
Joanna Mycka also I completely understand everything you’re saying :) your English is fine! Going out is hard for me as well, be gentle with yourself it’s only been a week. As for what I can see, I do see shadows and light. My vision in the eye is currently “hand motion”. You?
It's the same in terms of vision. Don't know yet how big my scare gonna be as infection in my eye is still active (it will be one left afterwords for sure). Is your eye still infected ?
Joanna Mycka unfortunately yes mine is still infected - that’s why they suspect more than just the pseudomonas (they say there’s likely an amoeba too). What drops do they have you on?
Decided not start wearing contact lense
As I was having strong desire yo wearing contact lense to look more stylish,but now I thinks..what I have is sufficent 4 me
Thnk u for this video, im praying the best for u lovely 😭
Thank you for sharing ❤️
Good eye education... ty
May Allah bless you. And May Your eye get better. insha'Allah you will see. Have Faith. 💜
Wait so are you blind in both eyes or just the right, because your pictures show left, unless they were flipped.
MaKayla Custer they must have flipped. Luckily it didn’t spread to my other eye so it’s just the one!
I wonder how colloidal silver would’ve helped
I actually did put that in!
What I've learned so far about wearing contacts is that you can't take a shower, go swimming, or workout because of the sweat, while wearing them. Bacteria attaches to the lens, then gets into your eye.
Now I am scared as hell
Exactlyy
I bought contacts like a week ago 😳
Proper care and avoiding sleeping swimming and showering usually is okay!
Im scared my eyes are blurry and i wore contacts 1 day
What are you scared of? If there’s no pain or redness, sometimes when you take off glasses or contacts our vision seems more blurry
you are a champion. thank you for sharing
