I'm no expert, but that doesn't sound like a solid diagnosis. Sounds more like "we don't like those people". My immediate question would be "why are they at fault?" A corneal ulcer has many possible causes, and if I was the patient, I'd really like to know what exactly caused this condition. I mean, if Hubble is selling faulty lenses that causes this condition, at the very least you would be able to hold them responsible.
- phonon 7y agoHubble uses a contact lens with poor oxygen permeability...which can lead to infection/swelling. "Hubble contacts are made with an old material called methafilcon A, which has a Dk/t of 18.8. Research shows that a Dk/t of 24 is necessary to maintain cornea integrity and avoid swelling." https://www.reddit.com/r/YouShouldKnow/comments/9o6a0h/ysk_the_contact_lens_company_hubble_is_fulfilling/ https://www.reddit.com/r/YouShouldKnow/comments/9o6a0h/ysk_t...
