Does Clear Care Solution Prevent/ Lower your Chances of Acanthamoeba keratitis?

I just saw something about a kid my age (14) going blind from Acanthamoeba keratitis, I assume he used a regular Renu solution or something, which i used to use; i just switched to Clear Care.. i almost always wear my contacts in the shower, and i always wear them at the beach (not smart, i know, but i don't go in the ocean anymore) and when i swim in my pool. Since Clear Care is a hydrogen peroxide solution, does it help prevent/ lower your chances of getting Acanthamoeba keratitis?

Well, no, not really. You get infected by this by being exposed to it and it being stuck between your contact and your eye, so taking a shower and swimming in them in any circumstance makes your chances higher, not really the solution you use to disinfect them. there have been some solutions in the past that have been suspect of not killing this little guy all that well, and they are no longer on the market.





There are several easy ways to greatly reduce the chance of getting this sight-threatening condition 鈥?and, in fact, any type of eye infection:





Follow your eye doctor's recommendations regarding care of your contact lenses. Use only products that he or she recommends.


Never use tap water with your contact lenses. Do not swim, shower or use a hot tub while wearing them. If you do decide to wear your lenses while swimming, wear airtight swim goggles and afterward dispose of the lenses immediately.


Be sure to soak your lenses in fresh disinfecting solution every night. Don't use a wetting solution or saline solution that isn't intended for disinfection.


Always wash your hands before handling your lenses.


Unless you are wearing disposable contact lenses that are replaced daily, always clean the lenses upon removal, or at a minimum, rub the lenses with your multipurpose solution and rinse the solution off of the lens.
