Odokotela bathi owesifazane unama-contact lens angu-23 ngaphansi kwamehlo akhe.

Owesifazane owazizwa “nokuthile esweni lakhe” wayefake amalensi alahlwayo angu-23 afakwe ekujuleni ngaphansi kwamajwabu amehlo akhe, kusho udokotela wakhe wamehlo.
UDkt. Katerina Kurteeva we-California Ophthalmological Association eNewport Beach, eCalifornia, washaqeka lapho ethola iqembu labathintwayo futhi “kwadingeka abalethe” ecaleni elibhalwe ekhasini lakhe le-Instagram ngenyanga edlule.
“Nami ngamangala.Bengicabanga ukuthi kwakuwuhlanya.Angikaze ngikubone lokhu ngaphambilini, ”kusho uKurteeva NAMUHLA.“Bonke abathintwayo bafihlwe ngaphansi kwesivalo senqwaba yamakhekhe, ngomqondo ongokomfanekiso.”
Isiguli esineminyaka engu-70 ubudala, esicele ukungadalulwa, bese sigqoke ama-contact lens iminyaka engu-30, kusho udokotela.NgoSepthemba 12, wafika eKurteeva ekhononda ngokuzwa komzimba wangaphandle esweni lakhe langakwesokudla futhi ebona amafinyila kulelo hlo.Uke waya emtholampilo, kodwa uKurteeva uyaqala ukumbona selokhu anikezwa ihhovisi ngonyaka odlule.Owesifazane wayengenazo izinsuku ezijwayelekile ngenxa yokwesaba ukuthola inkontileka ye-COVID-19.
U-Kurteeva waqala wahlola amehlo akhe ukuze akhiphe isilonda se-cornea noma i-conjunctivitis.Waphinde wabheka izinkophe, i-mascara, izinwele zesilwane esifuywayo, noma ezinye izinto ezivamile ezingabangela ukuzwa komzimba wangaphandle, kodwa wabona lutho ekhoneni lakhe langakwesokudla.Wabona ukuphuma kwamafinyila.
Lona wesifazane wathi lapho ephakamisa ijwabu leso, wabona ukuthi kuhlezi into emnyama, kodwa wangakwazi ukuyikhipha, ngakho uKurdieva wasibhekisa phansi isivalo sakhe ngeminwe ukuze abone.Kodwa futhi, odokotela abatholanga lutho.
Kungaleso sikhathi lapho udokotela wamehlo asebenzisa i-speculum yejwabu leso, insimbi yocingo eyayivumela ukuba amajwabu amehlo owesifazane avuleke futhi ahlukaniseke kakhulu ukuze izandla zakhe zikhululeke ukuze zihlolwe eduze.Uphinde wajova ngomuthi obulala izinzwa we-macular.Lapho ebhekisisa ngaphansi kwezinkophe zakhe, wabona ukuthi abantu abambalwa bokuqala ababexhumene nabo babenamathele ndawonye.Wazikhipha ngeswazi likakotini, kodwa kwakuyisigaxa nje sethiphu.
UKurteeva ucele umsizi wakhe ukuthi athathe izithombe namavidiyo alokho okwenzekile ngenkathi edonsa abathintwayo ngeswabhu kakotini.
“Kwakunjengokudlala amakhadi,” kukhumbula uKurteeva.“Kwasabalala kancane kwase kwakheka iketango elincane esivalweni sakhe.Lapho ngikwenza, ngamtshela, “Ngicabanga ukuthi ngisuse ezinye ezingu-10.”"Babelokhu bephuma futhi."
Ngemva kokubahlukanisa ngokucophelela ngodlawu lobucwebe, odokotela bathola ingqikithi yabathintana nabo abangu-23 kulelo liso.UKurteeva uthe ugeze iso lesiguli, kodwa ngenhlanhla lona wesifazane akazange abe naso - ukucasuka okuncane nje okwalashwa ngamaconsi aqeda ukuvuvukala - futhi konke kuhamba kahle.
Eqinisweni, lesi akusona isimo esibi kakhulu.Ngo-2017, odokotela baseBrithani bathola ama-contact lens angu-27 emehlweni owesifazane oneminyaka engu-67 owayecabanga ukuthi amehlo omile nokuguga kwakumbangela ukucasuka, kubika i-Optometry Today.Wayegqoke amalensi okuxhumana nyanga zonke iminyaka engu-35.Icala lilotshwe ku-BMJ.
"Ukuxhumana okubili kweso elilodwa kuvamile, abathathu noma ngaphezulu abavamile kakhulu," uDkt. Jeff Petty, udokotela wamehlo eSalt Lake City, e-Utah, utshele i-American Academy of Ophthalmology mayelana necala lika-2017.
Isiguli uKurteeva samtshela ukuthi wayengazi ukuthi kwenzeka kanjani, kodwa odokotela babenemibono eminingana.Uthe lo wesifazane mhlawumbe ubecabanga ukuthi ususa ama-lens ngokuwashutheka eceleni, kodwa akunjalo, avele acasha ngaphansi kwejwabu leso elingenhla.
Izikhwama ngaphansi kwamajwabu amehlo, ezaziwa ngokuthi ama-vaults, ziyiziphetho ezifile: “Ayikho into engafika ngemuva kweso lakho ngaphandle kokumuncwa futhi ngeke ingene ebuchosheni bakho,” kuphawula uKurteeva.
Kwesinye isiguli esesikhulile, i-vault yajula kakhulu, uthe, ehambisana nokushintsha okuhlobene neminyaka emehlweni nasebusweni, kanye nendlela emincane yokuzungeza, okuholela ekutheni amehlo ashone.I-contact lens yayijulile futhi ikude ne-cornea (ingxenye yeso ezwela kakhulu) kangangokuthi owesifazane wayengakwazi ukuzwa ukuvuvukala kwaze kwaba kukhulu kakhulu.
Wengeze ngokuthi abantu abagqoka ama-contact lens amashumi eminyaka balahlekelwa ukuzwela ku-cornea, ngakho-ke kungaba esinye isizathu sokuthi angawezwa amabala.
UKurteeva uthe lo wesifazane "uthanda ukugqoka amalensi" futhi ufuna ukuqhubeka ewasebenzisa.Usanda kubona iziguli nemibiko yokuthi uzizwa ephilile.
Leli cala liyisikhumbuzo esihle sokugqoka amalensi okuxhumana.Hlanza njalo izandla zakho ngaphambi kokuthi uthintane namalensi, futhi uma ugqoka amalensi okuxhumana nsuku zonke, xhuma ukunakekelwa kwamehlo nokunakekelwa kwamazinyo nsuku zonke - susa amalensi okuxhumana lapho uxubha amazinyo akho ukuze ungakhohlwa, kusho uKurteeva.
