A woman lost the sight in one eye after going swimming in a pool at a hotel spa wearing contact lenses. 英国一名女孩带着隐形眼镜在一家宾馆的游泳池游泳时，一只眼睛不慎失明。 Jennie Hurst, from Southampton, contracted acanthamoeba keratitis - a rare and painful infection caused by amoeba which naturally occurs in water. The infection causes hypersensitivity to light and the 28-year-old said she was confined to a dark room for three months. She is now warning of the dangers of swimming or showering wearing contacts. 来自南安普顿的简妮-赫斯特因为带隐形眼镜游泳患上了棘阿米巴角膜炎。这种疾病非常罕见，是由水生的棘阿米巴原虫引发的严重感染。感染会导致光过敏，因而28岁的简妮不得不在暗室呆3个月。她现在警告所有带着隐形眼镜游泳或者洗澡的人，称此举非常危险。 Symptoms of acanthamoeba keratitis include a sensation of having something in the eye, watery eyes, blurred vision, sensitivity to light, swelling of the upper eyelid and extreme pain. 感染棘阿米巴角膜炎的人会感到眼镜有异物感，湿润感，视线模糊，对光线非常敏感。上眼睑肿大并伴有极度的疼痛。 Ms Hurst said she has been left with no vision in her left eye and the damage to her cornea could be permanent. 简妮说她的左眼已经失明，这次感染对角膜的伤害可能是永久性的。 |
