Calmer Update *Warning for Contact Lens Wearrs

So I'm sure many of you have heard about the contact lens recall issued May 25 for Amo Contact Lens solution. If you haven't, please read up on it as soon as possible. Well I had a rash of eye infections over the past five-six months and I've seen the dr. a few times over it.

Well I have been using the Amo Contact solution since January and now doing my research I find that I have all the systoms of Acanthamoeba Keratitis.


I'll have to go for a cornea scraping to diagnose it and I'm terrified. Treatment options are not very hopeful and the disease can eventfully lead to total vision loss or the removal of the eye.



I'm trying not to panick but I'm terrified. All I can think about is not being able to see. I don't even want to close my eyes to go to sleep. I may never see FH grow old with me.

Please pray that I'm reading into this too much and the results will be negative.


Update: So now that I slept on it, I'm substantially calmer. I still have to go for the cornea scraping but I'm sure that it will be something that can be handled by the the opthamologist. Reading up on all the symptoms and treatments was probably not a good idea as stressed as I was at 10 pm last night. Thanks for all your thoughts, I'll keep you updated. It will take about ten days for the results to come in.
