A newly released study shows that the newer contact lens designs and materials do not actually reduce the risk of infections or serious eye complications.

The study shows that newer contact lens materials that allow more oxygen to get to the eye as well as lenses that are designed to be thrown out daily do not actually reduce the risks of dangerous eye infections. The new materials used in lenses worn over night are also ineffective at reducing the chances of eye infections. In fact, lenses worn over night are still the most dangerous to eye health.

A doctor involved in the research says that individuals who wore any of the contacts over night were five times more likely to experience a serious eye infection. The biggest risk is from microbial keratitis.

This is the first study designed to test the abilities of the new silicon hydrogel lenses. These lenses were created almost a decade ago and are designed to allow more oxygen to get to the cornea. Because the cornea has no blood supply, the oxygen is thought to reduce the risks of eye infections.

Unfortunately, the desired result has not occurred. If your eyes have been hurt due to your contact lenses or contact lens solution, contact the contact lens solution recall lawyers of Williams Kherkher at 1-866-950-9000 to schedule your initial consultation today.
