American Safe Sight Foundation (ASF) Urgently Petitions for Safer Eye Care Delivery in US
American Academy of Ophthalmology is under attack. Epidemic keratoconjunctivitis (EKC) is a highly contagious, incurable, viral infection of the eye that may permanently damage the eye. The single biggest risk factor for contracting EKC is seeing any eye doctor and having an eye exam with improperly sanitized equipment within 7-14 days before the onset of an eye infection. Even premature infants with no other risk factors have contracted the EKC infection through eye exams in neonatal ICU's. - May 12, 2017
