Erection During Sugaring

Think first ... contact lenses

Oggi è la giornata del pensaci prima, inteso come "usa il cervello".
Con mio figlio non faccio altro che "predicare" ogni giorno sull'uso corretto delle lenti a contatto, perchè non vi dico come le usa, anzi, le "abusa"...
Ho fatto così un giro sul web, e ora attaccherò le stampe in giro per la sua stanza, sperando che almeno legga...
Gli adolescenti si sentono invincibili e se ne fregano delle "precauzioni" di ogni genere, ma è ora che usino un po' il cervello, per evitare conseguenze gravi per il loro futuro. Il futuro è loro, non di noi genitori, e noi non possiamo far altro che cercare di farglielo capire.
Per mio figlio:
Raccolta di consigli per le lenti a contatto. (fonte: diversi articoli presi dal web)


Sanihelp.it - Secondo il Dott. Thomas J. Liesegang, oftalmologo alla Mayo Clinic di Jacksonville, Florida, queste “disattenzioni” possono causare dolori, occhi irritati, abrasioni della cornea fino ad arrivare alle lacerazioni che potenzialmente possono condurre alla perdita della vista .

Col passare del tempo queste pratiche aumentano il rischio di danni permanenti alla cornea , lo strato trasparente esterno dell’occhio, including a loss of corneal cells, a thinning of the layer and its change in shape (distortion of the cornea).

Dr. Liesegang, which published an article about this topic in the recent issue of The CLAO Journal, the publication of the Contact Lens Association of Ophtalmologists, warns that contact lenses have multiple effects on the cornea than people and images while some cases the effects may be reversible, in other situations the damage may be permanent.

The long-term effects of this damage, although small, are not fully known and could cause vision problems con il trascorrere degli anni .

Sebbene il numero di utilizzatori di lenti a contatto che vanno incontro ad effetti indesiderati sia modesto, sembra anche per gli utilizzatori “diligenti possa esserci qualche rischio . Il ridotto apporto d’ossigeno alla cornea , causato dall’applicazione delle lenti, porta ad un accumulo di anidride carbonica nei tessuti . Come risultato, si può creare una risposta infiammatoria caratterizzata da arrossamento e gonfiore. I batteri possono rimanere intrappolati sotto le lenti, portando infezioni oculari.

Altre raccomandazioni:

• eseguire un controllo periodico dall’ottico e, in caso di problemi riscontrati, dall’oculista.
• seguire le istruzioni d’uso
• portare con sé un paio di occhiali da vista per sostituire le lenti in caso di irritazioni
  
• lavarsi le mani prima di toccare le lenti (pratica spesso “dimenticata”dagli adolescenti)
• pulire attentamente le lenti
  

Secondo le stime degli esperti almeno il 50% delle persone non puliscono le lenti a contatto in modo corretto.

Warnings

If tearing or pain remove them immediately and if necessary consult an eye doctor, we replaced the lenses when they are damaged or scratched.

E 'in general bad use made of soft lenses to cause visual disturbances . The warning is the Italian Society of Cornea Transplant ( SITRAC ), to discuss about the increase of infections and lacerations of the cornea leading to blindness . The data that are more troubling, disconcerting an Italian daily loss of sight due to contact lenses , especially among adolescents.
explains Emilio Balestrazzi , president of SITRAC :

Every day an Italian vision loss due to incorrect or improper use of contact lenses and this damage is irreversible relate largely to the kids.

The thing that is feared is that the infection is subtle, not immediately occurs because the eye lens that does not tolerate the damage suffered annoyance, but problems also come at a later date , when the infection has already spread. Thirty carriers in a hundred thousand suffer serious corneal degeneration , including many under thirty years using soft lenses.
To avoid problems requires a careful and scrupulous daily hygiene of the lenses, as well as referring to the instructions (often undervalued and ignored); use liquid Cleaning unexpired ; change the container of the lenses every 3-6 months for you to not turn into a treasure trove of bacteria ; share absolutely no cosmetic lenses. In addition, the first sign of discomfort and irritation of contact lenses should be removed . Unfortunately alcohol and smoking contribute to mitigate the perception of physical discomfort , and so in the nightclubs where fashion cosmetic lenses are more worn, the risk of permanent damage to the eye is very high.

comes from a 'survey commissioned by Nextplora ' Italian Institute of Ophthalmology the dangers that exist in the 'use of contact lenses with little precautions. In fact, in Italy the figure is very alarming every 24 hours someone loses an eye out for poor contact lens hygiene . Fortunately in our country 's use is rather low: it is estimated that only 35% of Italians prefer it' s use than spectacles.

Rules to be observed:

1. the lenses should be massaged with the fingers (a technique called rub) and then clean with appropriate salt solutions, this technique is used to remove the protein layer that is deposited after hours of use
2. replace i contenitori per le lenti almeno una volta al mese
   
3. mai utilizzare acqua corrente per pulirle e tanto meno fare docce o bagni in piscina indossandole
   

Quest’ultimo punto è molto importante in quanto è attraverso l’acqua corrente che avvengono le più comuni infezioni tra cui candida , streptococco, stafilococco, pseudomonas ; ma l’ infezione più devastante è quella da acantoameba , un microrganismo molto tenace, che provoca ascessi e cheratiti corneali il più delle volte irreversibili .

ADVICE / How to protect your eyes to the sea and mountains. You may corneal injury and conjunctivitis

Holidays with contact lenses: the sand hazards more

In summer, the contact lens wearers (Lac) should handle situations where a small mistake can lead to troublesome consequences. Hard or soft they are, the attention must be increased because you risk injury to the cornea or conjunctiva. It is not always in a place where there is an emergency room, the less eye.

'D' summer - says Paolo Vinciguerra, chief ophthalmologist of the 'Istituto Humanitas, Rozzano (Milan) - wearers of contact lenses increases. Bathing with glasses, for example, is not comfortable. " In summer, increases the number of those who choose the Lac, but rises in the number of eye injuries caused by improper use of these lenses.

What are the risks? "Abrasions and ulcerations (sores) from foreign bodies or infections from poor hygiene - continues Vinciguerra -. Just a grain of sand or a fly that slips between the lens and eye or under the eyelid to cause damage. These bodies act as a grater, ending with the wounding the conjunctiva.

In these cases you should not rub the eye, it threatens to drive the particle in the eyelid and worse. We must leave on the tear film: it is the best defensive weapon. If the particle is, you have to remove the contact lens, put themselves under a stream of running water by opening and closing the eye without any compression. Following the wash before returning it to the lens. "

But sometimes the discomfort he feels and then we end up with an injury . Why? "All the soft contact lenses protect the nerve endings when there un'escoriazione and do not trigger the bell 'alarm of pain. is when you remove that part of the trouble, sometimes too late to prevent injury : in this case should go to a doctor immediately.

" 's first hygiene. No problem to use lenses disposable, maximum attention to the other. The soft is a receptacle for bacteria or fungi. So it is essential to the daily cleaning: wash your hands when you do these things, you have everything on a freshly laundered towel, cleaned daily with soap and water vials where you keep your lenses (even externally) , use the liquid preservative according to the manufacturer's instructions, meet deadlines (if a Lac is 15 days should be changed even if you reach a single day). At sea, the evening is a clean place to be. " Bathing in salt water can be done? "The salt permeates the biomaterial of the lens or semi-soft and then dehydrate the 'eye with serious damage. And there is the risk of losing them. Then, to see the seabed better to use the classic swimmer goggles over the lens. Even the spray could cause trouble. If so, rinse with fresh water drinking. " And the sun or the wind? " Sunglasses mandatory, as do non-lens wearers. Better to use it in windy conditions to prevent air from drying the tear film or some particle enters the eye. On your bike always wear a helmet in the car during long trips to ensure that there is plenty of air circulation, avoiding the air nozzles are directed at him. Avoid smoking. If redness, use artificial tears to the classic. Avoid the eye is too dry or irritated (the symptom is burning and redness). Contact lenses with UV filter would also protect from the sun? "It's better to put some good sunglasses."

Small corneal injury if not properly treated, can turn into ulcers, in some cases so severe as to impair vision and require corneal transplantation: a problem, that of the injury, which affects at least 2 percent of people who wear contact lenses for correcting vision, about 4 million in Italy. And it is a problem people often have a tendency to underestimate, sometimes undermining the health of their eyes

is difficult to say how many cases of corneal transplantation were due to contact lenses, but of course the percentage is around 0.1 per percent. Fortunately, with the spread of disposable lenses at the expense of long-term complications are less frequent than in the past. But we must not let our guard down or forget that the lenses are manufactured strictly medical use with care and not, as sometimes happens, even like a cosmetic. For those who make use of lenses is also a useful eye check regularly, do not procrastinate, especially if you experience discomfort to the eye. "
