LENSA KONTAK dapat menyebabkan KEBUTAAN!

Dari beberapa sumber yang saya dapatkan, dalam pemakaian lensa kontak yang berlebihan dalam waktu pemakaian bisa mengakibatkan kebutaan. Para ahli sudah mendapatkan banyak sekali kasus yang sama dalam hal ini...disarankan untuk para pemakai lensa kontak untuk tidak memakainya dalam waktu yang lama dan kalau bisa memakai yang satu kali pakai langsung buang.

Ini beberapa informasi tentang lensa kontak (negatif):

-Lensa kontak yang terlalu menempel terlalu erat dapat menyebabkan mata kekurangan oksigen. Dan jika hal ini tidak segera diatasi, kemungkinan besar akan mengalami kerusakan pembuluh darah sehingga memperburuk penglihatan.

Hal tersebut diakui oleh Melanie Pickett, department of clinical ophthalmology di Indiana University. Pickett juga mengatakan penggunaan lensa juga bisa memberikan dampak terburuknya, yaitu hilangnya kemampuan melihat dalam waktu 24 jam setelah pemakaian.

-Mata membutuhkan oksigen agar bisa bekerja dengan baik. Tak hanya menyebabkan mata kering, kekurangan oksigen juga bisa menyebabkan kornea bengkak dan penglihatan terganggu.

Kekurangan oksigen pada mata rentan terjadi pada pengguna lensa kontak. Apalagi, banyak pemakai lensa kontak yang tak menaati aturan pakai.

-“Sebanyak sembilan dari 10 pemakai lensa kontak memakainya lebih 10 jam sehari. Hal itu bisa menyebabkan timbulnya gejala-gejala kekurangan oksigen pada mata,” kata Country Head Indonesia CIBA Vision, Danny Widodo, dalam talkshow ‘Oksogen, Lensa Kontak, dan Kesehatan Mataku’ di Restoran Bebek Bengil,

-Dokter spesialis mata dari Departemen Mata Fakultas Kedokteran Universitas Indonesia, Tri Rahayu, mengatakan, gejala kekurangan oksigen pada mata umumnya ditandai dengan penglihatan yang tidak nyaman. Pada pemakai lensa kontak, biasanya ditandai dengan mata gatal, merah, berair, dan penglihatan terganggu.

“Ini ciri mata kering akibat kekurangan oksigen. Jangan dikira banyak berurai air mata berarti Anda sudah cukup mendapatkan oksigen. Jika terus-menerus dibiarkan dalam kondisi akut kekurangan oksigen, bisa menyebabkan kornea luka dan menimbulkan kebutaan,” katanya.

Selain itu, rendahnya oksigen pada mata bisa memicu tumbuhnya bakteri dalam mata sehingga lebih mudah menempel pada lensa kontak yang pada akhirnya menyebabkan mata kering teriritasi.

“Untuk itu, bagi Anda pengguna lensa kontak perlu diingat bahwa penggunaannya tidak boleh lebih dari 10 jam, hanya boleh dipakai pada siang hari dan jangan pernah menggunakannya saat tidur,” katanya.

Kekurangan oksigen pada mata juga rentan terjadi pada mereka yang sering berlama-lama di depan komputer, dan di ruang ber AC. Juga mereka yang melakukan aktivitas dengan lingkungan terpapar asap rokok.

“Jika dirasakan hal tak biasa pada mata jangan remehkan, karena ini bisa menjadi sinyal bahwa ada masalah serius pada mata Anda. Segera pergi ke dokter untuk mengecek kesehatan mata Anda,”.

-sangat dianjurkan bagi anda pengguna lensa kontak untuk selalu menjaga kebersihan, karena jika tidak dapat mengakibatkan masalah mata yang cukup serius seperti mata kering, penglihatan menjadi kabur, gatal hingga kebutaan.

-Konsekuensi dari kurang memperhatikan kebersihan lensa kontak memang sangat fatal bagi kondisi mata. Banyak orang yang tidak cuci tangan sebelum memakaikan lensa kontak pada mata. Hal ini bisa memicu terjadinya iritasi yang jika dibiarkan bisa menjadi infeksi parah.

Menurut Dr. H. Dwight Cavanagh, seorang profesor ahli mata dari Southwestern Medical Center, Amerika Serikat dalam tulisannya “Eye and Contact Lens” pada 2003, mengungkapkan sebanyak 2.500 pengguna lensa kontak mengalami “corneal ulcers”. Hal itu terjadi pada pengguna yang menggunakan lensa kontak setiap hari.

Corneal ulcer yaitu kondisi dimana terdapat luka terbuka pada kornea. Hal ini sering disebabkan oleh infeksi dan luka kecil atau goresan yang bisa terjadi akibat penggunaan lensa kontak yang kurang hati-hati.

Gejala yang timbul biasanya produksi air mata yang meningkat, sensitif terhadap cahaya, pandangan menjadi kabur, gatal dan nyeri. Jika gejala tersebut dibiarkan dan tidak dilakukan perawatan intensif bisa memicu terjadinya kebutaan.

akhir kata:
Sebanarnya lebih baik anda memakai kacamata dalam kegiatan yang berdurasi lama.

worms that eat human brains

North Caroline, lost balance, dizziness, difficulty in swallowing and numbness of the body is often diagnosed as symptoms of brain tumors. But perhaps it was not but a symptom of cysticercosis of brain tumors. The reason is that undermined the tapeworm and eating human brains.

The initial symptoms the patient complained of symptoms that are similar to a brain tumor or stroke. Even when performed MRI scans, an abnormal growth of brain tumor looks like growth.

But when Dr. Peter Nakaji, a surgeon from the Barrow Neurological Institute operated on a patient with these disorders, she was shocked to discover something strange in the brains of his patients.

"As a surgeon I found a lot of bad things and strange, including when I found the parasitic worms gnawing at the brain of living patients. Worm can cause degeneration of the brain very rapidly," he said as quoted from the LiveScience Nakaji, Monday (21 / 12 / 2009).

Parasitic worms that enter the brain is Taenia solium worms that live in animal tissues of pigs. "A person who is infected with this tapeworm does not mean sloppy, but it could come from foods containing these parasitic worms," Nakaji says.

Cases of parasitic worms in the human brain is increasing in America. More than 20 percent of the neurologist in California ever get this case. Parasitic worms known as cysticercosis is derived from pig intestines and may enter the human body and organs develop in the gut or brain.

If anyone eats worm larvae contained in meat, the larvae that will culminate in the intestine and develop like an alien. A worm can produce 50,000 eggs per day. But if the meat was contaminated by the eggs of pig dung and cooked hot deengan is not perfect, then that is what triggers the growth of worms in the brain.

"Unlike the larvae, the worm eggs are more likely to pass through the blood stream. From there, the egg will spread to all parts of the body, including muscle, beneath the surface of the skin and brain," Raymond Kuhn, professor of biology and parasite expert from Wake Forest University, Winston- Salem, North Caroline.

According to Kuhn, cysticercosis is a major problem in several Latin American countries and Mexico because the habits of people there who eat undercooked pork. This disease could spread if an infected person has a bad habit like seldom washed her hands.

"The eggs Taenia solium worms that can survive in formaldehyde, harsh and hazardous materials though. Imagine if he lives in a network that is not dangerous, such as human organs. If allowed to continue, he could eliminate important organs in the human body, "Kuhn said.

For some cases, surgical removal of worms in the body is not needed because enough with the drugs, these worms can die. But if the worm is already branching into areas of the brain, there is no more steps that could save patients than surgical removal of worms because if left to risk even death can approach.
