Oh dear!!!.... the news is out!.... now, 39 had been reported having this fungal infection!... damn!... being a typical kiasu Singaporean, I went in search of the next "best" solution in town - Complete.. and guess wat?!... practically all the shops i went into have sold out!... juz before we head home - dejected - we went into this tiny optical shop and voila!.. AT LAST!... solution in hand!.. :)
The odds that ReNu solution is "THE" cause of this infection is very high.. coz like it was reported in today's Today, 120K to 150K ppl in S'pore are using this solution!.. so obviously!.... (need i continue??)!.... it's juz like saying wired bras are the cause of breast cancer in women!.. Y??... coz i dun think there's a lot of women who'd like to "hang loose"!...
But the eyes are one of God's wonderful gift! So, i'd definitely NOT take a risk!.. oh!.. not forgetting my cuzzin's near-blind-accident!... remember my Blur & Lousy entry??... I hope by now, u know wat i'm trying to get at!... *smirks!*
Dearest thinks he's gagah!... but i bet, he's quite relieved that i practically push the new Complete solution to his face!.. hahahaa.... I'd rather have one breast chopped off (choy! choy!) than not able to see the wonders the world (or God) has to offer! At least, you still can go for implants for that flat chest, aye?!.... howell!... i juz hope that this thing is investigated thoroughly!!...
here's some tips for those who may not know how to care for your lenses:
1. Make sure you throw away your disposable contacts on or before expiry! If it's fortnightly lens, throw them away after 14 days!!!
2. "Permanent" contact lens are not really that permanent. Been recommended you use them for 1yr to 2 yrs and get it changed!.. unless of course, you're one of those freaks who does the remove-protein-routine and etc.. etc..
3. Storage containers for the lens need to be steriled once in a while.. ie maybe weekly (to be kiasu)... or at least.. the very least lah.. once a month!!...
4. Solutions cannot be used for more than 90 days, unless otherwise stated - be it the big-sized bottle or the small one..
5. Napping and sleeping with lenses on is a BIG, BIG no-no!!..... Dearest classmate did that and freak!... she nearly lost her eye-sight - completely i mean!!...now, her vision is permanently damage and NO contact lens for her for the rest of her life!....
I'm no expert in this area and i AM definitely guilty of one or two of the abv!.. i got the info abv from mags, friends and also opticians who had to advise me coz i was found guilty of not caring for my then-"permanent" contact lens when i was still in my teens.. so, if anyone of you out there would like to correct me, or provide us with more tips to care for our contacts, go ahead, plsssss..... coz i'm pretty sure, vain girls like me, would prefer to go glass-less and be in denial of our not-so-perfect-vision!...
