英国某女戴隐形眼镜游泳致失明

[font=Simsun][font=宋体, Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif][size=14px][font=Verdana, Arial, Tahoma][size=12px][font=宋体, Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif][b]A woman lost the sight in one eye after going swimming in a pool at a hotel spa wearing contact lenses.[/b][/font]

[font=宋体, Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif][b]英国一位女性近日因戴着隐形眼镜在一家宾馆的温泉池游泳,导致一只眼睛失明。[/b][/font]

[font=宋体, Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Jennie Hurst, from Southampton, contracted acanthamoeba keratitis - a rare and painful infection caused by [b]amoeba(变形虫)[/b] which naturally occurs in [url=http://www.enread.com/news/life/90028.html]water[/url].[/font]

[font=宋体, Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]The infection causes hypersensitivity to light and the 28-year-old said she was confined to a dark room for three months. She is now warning of the dangers of swimming or showering wearing contacts.[/font]

[font=宋体, Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Ms Hurst underwent four operations, stays in hospital, and a treatment regime in which she had eye drops administered every half hour.[/font]

[font=宋体, Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]She said: "During that time I was literally confined to my bedroom with blackout blinds at the window. The only thing I could do was to listen to the radio.[/font]

[font=宋体, Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]"One evening, I was so desperate to look out of window to get a glimpse of the outside world that I opened my curtains in the middle of the night.[/font]

[font=宋体, Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]"As soon as I did this the moon shone in my eyes and it really hurt. I didn't do that again in a hurry."[/font]

[font=宋体, Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Ms Hurst said she has been left with no vision in her left eye and the damage to her cornea could be permanent.[/font]

[font=宋体, Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]The environmental coordinator, who had been wearing contact lenses for five years, went swimming at a hotel while on a residential training course with [url=http://www.enread.com/news/life/90028.html]work[/url].[/font]

[font=宋体, Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]"The irony is that I don't even like swimming - I only did a few laps," she said.[/font]

[font=宋体, Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]"My consultants were quite surprised that I had gone swimming and probably thought that I had been a bit lazy whereas I wasn't aware of the problem at all - it didn't even enter my brain to take them out.[/font]

[font=宋体, Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]"I felt guilty that I had let it happen when actually I could have just taken my contacts out and saved everyone a lot of time and bother and myself a lot of pain.[/font]

[font=宋体, Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]"I have always been so careful with my contact lenses. I always remove them when sleeping and always use [url=http://www.enread.com/news/life/90028.html]contact[/url]lens solution to wash them."[/font]
