Contact lenses more dangerous than Lasik?

🚨 Did you know? 🚨 Contact lenses can actually be more dangerous than #LASIK or #PRK if not worn properly! Dr. Kendall Donaldson, a corneal specialist at Bascom Palmer Eye Institute, sees contact lens-related infections every single day—many caused by bacteria like Pseudomonas, which loves to cling to soft lenses and thrives in water. 🌊👀 To keep your eyes safe, follow these three golden rules: 1️⃣ Never sleep in your contact lenses. 😴🚫 2️⃣ Never swim while wearing them. 🏊‍♂️🚫 3️⃣ Always replace them on time—don’t stretch your lenses beyond their intended use!
