Contact Lens Care: What We Should All Know (Chinese) 关于角膜接触镜：我们应该知道些什么 Tips for safe contact lens (CL) use to ensure happy and healthy eyes: 怎样健康的使用软性角膜接触镜 1) Do not sleep in CL. 不要佩戴角膜接触镜睡觉。 Even a brief nap in CL could be a bad idea. The CL and your eyelid act as a double barrier, potentially trapping bacteria on the CL directly on your eye. While the CL is fairly porous and oxygen can reach the cornea (the surface layer of the eye), it still acts as a barrier. When a person sleeps in a pair of CL, their eyelid acts as a second barrier. When you have the plastic CL over the eye, you are not only depriving the eye of oxygen but also increasing the risk of germs attacking the cornea. 佩戴角膜接触镜即使只是小寐也不好。角膜接触镜和你的眼睑构成了双层屏障，使得角膜接触镜上的细菌直接滞留在眼睛上。即使角膜接触镜是多孔的，氧气可以达到角膜（眼睛的表层），它依然还是个屏障。当一个人佩戴角膜接触镜睡觉时，眼睑构成了第二道屏障。当你把一个塑料角膜接触镜戴在眼睛上，你不仅剥夺了眼睛的获得氧气，还增加了细菌侵袭角膜的危险。 2) Do not shower or swim in CL. 不要带着角膜接触镜洗澡或游泳。 Avoid water when wearing ...
Cataracts (Chinese version) What is cataract ？ 白内障是什么？ Cataract is a clouding of the lens in the eye that affects vision. A cataract can occur in either or both eyes. It cannot spread from one eye to the other. 白内障是指眼睛内的晶状体发生混浊并因此影响视力。白内障可以发生于单眼或双眼，但不会由一只眼蔓延到另一只眼。 The eye is like a camera. The lens is a clear part of the eye that helps to focus light, or an image, on the retina. The retina is like film in a camera. It is the light-sensitive tissue at the back of the eye. 眼睛好比是一架照相机。晶状体是眼内一个透明的部分，用来将光线和影像聚焦于视网膜；视网膜是位于眼球后部的感光组织，就像是照相机中的底片。 Who is at risk of getting cataracts? 谁会有罹患白内障的风险？ Most cataracts are related to aging. Cataracts are very common in older people. By age 80, more than half of all people either have a cataract or have had cataract surgery. 大部分白内障与年龄相关，白内障在老年人中非常普遍。到了 80 岁，有超过一半以上的正常老人患有白内障或已经接受了白内障手术。 What causes cataracts? 白内障的病因是什么？ Aging changes in the protein of the lens 晶状体中蛋白质发生老龄性改...

Avoid water when wearing CL. Water from the tap is not clean enough to rinse CL or cases. The parasite Acanthamoeba can be found in tap water and can cause severe eye infections resulting in vision loss. Even more bacteria can be found in swimming pools and lakes...
Multilingual Eye Health Patient Education Videos As they say, there is always a first time for everything... so here goes my very first blog and blog post... the prep-work of putting this together has been very exciting and rewarding, and I hope anyone who happens to come across this will also share the same excitement about this project idea as I and our growing team of volunteers, without whom this project would not be possible (see acknowledgement at the end). Thank you SO MUCH for taking time out of your busy schedule to read about this exciting and hopefully beneficial project. So here goes... Background According to the Canadian National Institute for the Blind : only 1/3 of working-age Canadians with vision loss are employed, seniors with vision loss are 3X more likely than those with good vision to experience clinical depression, and people with vision loss are at high risk of social isolation, reduced community participation, falls and associat...
