The Danger of “Instantly Available Contact Lenses”
(empty boxes only / no prescription / quick purchase, etc.)
This introduces a Japanese translation of a 34-second video from the American Academy of Ophthalmology (AAO).
• ‘You can buy contact lenses at variety shops, drugstores, and even drive-throughs’
• ‘With or without a prescription, they are super easy to get, and you look cool, right?’
• ‘But you can also end up like this’
(Four images of corneal damage caused by contact lenses)
• ‘Even if your vision seems fine, always have an eye exam at an eye clinic when you buy contact lenses
EyeSmart — American Academy of Ophthalmology
In this lively shopping street and student town, we often see people with contact lens complications.
Please take good care of your precious eyes when using contact lenses and colored contact lenses. [Contact lens examination]
• Corneal endothelial cell count (specular microscopy)
• Tear film stability
• Condition of the corneal epithelium (presence of scratches)
• Presence of contact lens–related conjunctivitis
• For those with high myopia: early detection of glaucoma and retinal disease, etc.
