There is an extremely nice thief in the house. This particular thief stole (or took without permission, same difference) my Contact Lens case yesterday, when I left it to air-dry in a hurry. The nice part of this thief is that he/she magically returned my case the next evening! I'm very sure it's my case, cos I cheekily drew a smiley and a sad-smiley on each side of the case. While I'm positively sure I left the covers open, the case is now screwed shut, with liquid in it! :o How nice, did the thief disinfect the case for me after he/she USED it? Have you ever met such a nice thief that not only returns the stolen goods, but disinfects it so that it's in a better condition than before? Though, of course, it could just be that person's "leftover" Solution. Eewww. And also, it could just be that the thief never intended to return the case, which was very obviously-mine, but just left "his/her" case in the bathroom. This incident irks me so much because: a. my case was brand new b. I don't have any spare case c. Shim had to wear his Contact Lens to sleep just so that I have a case to soak my Contact Lens. Otherwise, I'd have to sleep in them or throw my new pair of lenses away. And the first choice isn't good, cos my eyes are pretty sensitive. d. the person obviously doesn't care. Neither did the person apologise or provided a sound reasoning. Instead, this person (yes, I know who the person is) casually walked past me as he/she came out ...

In the May edition of Eye & Contact Lens 34(5): 247-253, 2008 entitled, " Acanthamoeba : A Review of Its Potential to Cause Keratitis, Current Lens Care Solution Disinfection Standards and Methodologies, and Strategies to Reduce Patient Risk" ( abstract linked here ), authors Anger and Lally present a comprehensive assessment of the lack of standardization with respect to Acanthamoeba efficacy testing. In reading the Anger paper, the first thing that comes to mind is whether AMO might use the paper as an opportunity to buttress their defense that because there is no standardized Acanthamoeba testing, all results are suspect. Here are some reasons why it is not likely that AMO will be able to use lack of standardized Acanthamoeba testing as a defense. Those of us who are somewhat familiar with the 510(k) process that the FDA requires manufacturers to undergo, before it grants marketing approval for Contact Lens multipurpose Contact Lens solutions, realize that Acanthamoeba has never been one of the challenge organisms required for challenge testing. In a Presentation to the FDA Advisory Panel on Contact Lens Care Solutions, Dr. Louise Scalfani, et al. have outlined a host of additional considerations the FDA should review and possibly adopt in order to strengthen the FDA guidance document for pre-market testing. Those considerations include: Testing solutions under more realistic conditions; Testing under known conditions of intrac ... Source: www.aboutlawsuits.com --- 26 days ago

By DON WINNER for Panama-Guide.com - I received an invitation from Mike Buchan, the owner of the new Driftaway Flotation Center in Panama City, to experience their sensory deprivation tanks. While in the military I had spent a considerable amount of time in California (a.k.a. the "Left" Coast), and back then there was a lot of interest in all kinds of alternative medicines, herbal treatments, and non traditional approaches to health care. I remember hearing about and reading about sensory deprivation flotation tanks back then but until this week I have never had the pleasure of actually experiencing it myself. So, when Mike called I took him up on the offer almost immediately - I was looking forward to checking it out. (more) Be Prepared: If you're going to go there are a couple of things you should know. First of all you don't want to go there with a full stomach or directly after having eaten a large meal. Secondly, the point is to relax and to take a one-hour floating vacation from all of the normal stresses of our daily lives, so they recommend that you avoid beverages with caffeine or other stimulants before you get into the tank - you don't want to spend an hour bouncing around in there like a friggin' ping-pong ball. Third, if you wear Contact lenses you might want to bring along saline Solution and a Lens case so you can take them out while you're in the tank. You float in a concentrated Solution of magnesium sulfate (Epsom sal ...
