Interesting that incidence of this appears to be a full order of magnitude higher in the UK than in the US (.2 per 10k vs 2 per 10k for contact wearers). Wonde

Interesting that incidence of this appears to be a full order of magnitude higher in the UK than in the US (.2 per 10k vs 2 per 10k for contact wearers). Wonder if we treat our tap water more rigorously, use more chlorine in our pools, or are the contacts themselves different?

- Underqualified 10y agoAs a European who has visited the US: you put a lot more chlorine in your tap water. It smelled and and tasted like our swimming pool water to me. Edit: and your swimming pool water had if course even more chlorine, much more then I'd expect to find in Europe.
