During my sophomore year in high school, I was infected with Acanthamoeba keratitis.  Acanthamoeba keratitis is an infection caused by a microscopic, free-living ameba (single-celled living organism) called Acanthamoeba.  Acanthamoeba causes Acanthamoeba keratitis when it infects the transparent outer covering of the eye called the cornea. This infection came from my use of night contacts. I must not have cleaned it thoroughly, which lead to the Acanthamoeba virus entering my eye. Though I felt the care provided to treat my condition was done with the best care, there were some things that could definitely be improved. For example, I had to commute from the Bronx, where my high school was, to Manhattan, to obtain this specialty eye drops every three to four days. This is because there is nowhere else in the city that has them and it expires very rapidly. There is definitely a healthcare innovation that can improve this, though I’m not too sure about its specifics. Another healthcare innovation can target the cleansing of eye contacts in a very convenient and faster way. Perhaps some sort of machine that automatically cleans ur lens when you put them in?
