Abantu abangama-35% bacabanga ukuthi kulungile ukugeza amalensi abo ngamanzi
Kuzwakala njengomlando ophukile: ukuhlanzeka kwe- lens yokuxhumana . Nakuba akuyona isihloko esivusa amadlingozi kakhulu ukuxoxa ngaso, odokotela bezilwane babona iziguli eziningi ezinezinkinga ezinkulu zokuxhumana zamalensi, ikakhulukazi ezihlobene nokuhlanzeka kwe-lens yokuxhumana okubi. Nakuba kungavamile kakhulu namhlanje ngenxa yokuxhumana okungcono kwe-lens, izigidi ezingu-41 zaseMelika zigqoke amalensi oxhumana nabo futhi abaningi basengozini yokulimala kwamehlo ahlobene no-lens ngenxa yokuntuleka kwemikhuba yokuxhumana yamalensi.
Xhumana noshuwalense lwengozi ye-Lens
I-Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) igcwalise isifundo, Ucwaningo Lens Risk Survey, olwembise amaphesenti angu-99 abantu abawenzi kahle ekulandeleni imithetho yokugqoka amalensi oxhumana nabo. Ucwaningo lwalubuza abantu abangu-1000 asebekhulile kuneminyaka engu-18, amaphesenti angama-83 alabo abaphendulile besifazane, kanti amaphesenti angu-62 ayeneminyaka engaphezu kwengu-40 ubudala.
Phakathi kwalabo abaphenduliwe, amaphesenti angu-99 abike okungenani ukuziphatha okuyingcingo eyodwa yokuxhumana kwengozi. Cishe ingxenye yesithathu yabathwali be-lens othintana nabo babika iso elibomvu elihlobene ne-eye lensimbi noma iso elibuhlungu elidinga ukuvakashela kudokotela. Ukulandela amanye amaqiniso amangazayo:
- Amaphesenti angu-50 alale ngobusuku obunama-lens
- Amaphesenti angu-87 ahlanjululwe ngama-lens
- Amaphesenti angu-55 aqeda isisombululo se-disinfection (esikhundleni sokushintsha)
- Amaphesenti angu-50 adlulisele imvamisa yokuphakanyiswa ephakanyisiwe
- Amaphesenti angu-82 awazange ashintshe icala labo lens contact ngokuvamile
- Amaphesenti angama-85 anciphisa ngenkathi egqoke ama-lens azo
- Amaphesenti angu-61 agijimela kuma-lens azo
- Amaphesenti angu-35 ahlanza amalensi awo ngokusebenzisa amanzi aphephe amanzi
Izisusa eziyingozi
Ukulala ngamalensi: Ukulala ngamalensi okuxhumana kuthwala cishe amaphesenti angu-15 kwandisa ingozi yokuthola ukutheleleka kweso. Uma kucatshangwa ukuthi kungenxa yokuntuleka kwe-oksijeni ku- cornea , abacwaningi bacabanga ukuthi kunezici eziningi ezenza kube nengozi enkulu.
Ukuhamba ngezintambo kunezinhlobo ezifanayo zengozi, noma ngabe iphansi ngoba isikhathi sokulala sivame ukufinyeleleka.
Ukukhuphuka: Ukukhipha isisombululo se-disinfacting akuyikukhipha amagciwane ngama-lens ngokufanele. Ngemuva kokuthi isixazululo se- lens esithintekayo sihlala isikhathi esingaphezu kwamahora ambalwa, i-disinfectant ishicilela. Ukuyibeka phezulu akukwandisi ukuxilongwa kwe-agent ebulala amagciwane ngokunciphisa ukwanda kwama-bacterium kanye nama-virus. Ukwehluleka ukukhipha isixazululo esidala kukhulisa ingozi ngokufaka izifo ezintsha ekuxazululeni ikhambi.
Ukushintshwa: Ngokumangalisa, amaphesenti angu-50 kuphela abaphendulayo aphakamisa imvamisa yabo yokuphakanyiswa yokuphakanyiswa kwama-contact lensi. Amalensi alahlekile adalwe ngesizathu. Ukufaka esikhundleni samalensi akho ohlelweni oluphakanyisiwe yisincoma esisodwa esikhulu okufanele ulandele. Ukushintsha i-lens case yakho kungenye imithetho ebalulekile yokuxhumana lensiza. Nakuba ungakwazi ukukubona, amabhaktheriya azokhula ngokuhamba kwesikhathi. Shintsha amacala lensimbi yoxhumo njalo ezinyangeni ezintathu.
Imithombo yamanzi: Ukubhukuda, ukuvuthwa, nokuhlanza amalensi okuxhumana emanzini okupompi onke aphethe ingozi efanayo: acanthamoeba. I-Acanthamoeba yi-amoeba etholakala emanzini, futhi ingxenye enkulu, ayiyona ingozi enkulu kuningi lethu.
Kodwa-ke, ukutheleleka kwe-acanthamoeba kungabangela iso elibomvu, elibuhlungu, nelokukhanya. Ukutheleleka kwe-Acanthamoeba ngokuvamile kubangela uketshezi olukhulu ku-cornea, isakhiwo esicacile se-dome-like on the front of the eye, futhi singabangela ubumpumputhe.
Ukwelashwa ngokuvamile kuthatha izinyanga eziyisithupha kuya kwezingu-12, futhi izikhathi eziningi, umphumela awuhambisani. Nakuba ungathola ukutheleleka kwe-acanthamoeba ngaphandle kwama-lensi wokuxhumana, iningi labantu linomlando wokugqoka amalensi oxhumana nabo kanye nohlobo oluthile lokungcola ngamanzi kampompi, amashubhu ashisayo, noma amanzi asemfuleni noma amachibi.
Izwi elivela
Landela izincomo zodokotela wakho futhi uthathe ngokungathí sina ama-lensi akho oxhumana naye ngokungathí sina.
I-lens yokuxhumana iyidivayisi yezokwelapha evunyelwe i-FDA, kodwa isabhekwa njengomzimba wangaphandle esweni lakho, ngakho ukunakekelwa okufanele kubalulekile impilo enhle. Bheka udokotela wakho wezandla okungenani kanye ngonyaka ukuze uhlolwe ukuhlolisisa amehlo nokuhlolisisa i-lens.
