problems by Randolph Schmid associated press a photo contacts must be checked Long Wear Contact lenses can be a Boon to Many but one of americas leading optometrists warns that problems May still develop if the lenses Arent removed regularly and cared people get into trouble because they see the or the term 30day and they say i can Wear this Lens 30 i think its a potential so to i like to Call a 30day Lens an overnight said Harold Davis of chairman of the american optometric associations Contact Lens i dont really think there is a 30day extended Wear Lens per Davis said in an the length of Wear for any Lens depends on the tolerance of the i divid he and can be worked out with the Eye extended Wear lenses generally contain water and allow passage of oxygen through the Lens to the allowing them to be worn longer than the older style hard but any Lens has a tendency to degrade Over warns and the greatest potential for Complick and there is a significant potential for Complick if patients Are not monitored lenses should be checked anywhere from two to times a year where tiny bits of debris that get into the eyes can damage the surface of the Davis some people have begun to consider Contact lenses As a simple consumer product like cosmetics or and there really there a prosthetic device that should be monitored by a its the old i Tell my would you Wear your underwear 30 Days without removing it the Eye is a dirty with regular he the average soft Lens used daily should last a year to 18 although some can stay in use for two years or in coming he disposable lenses could even become an a study in Sweden found the complication rate dropped 90 percent when lenses were replaced every six Davis so disposable lenses re placed every three to six months might be a Good idea to maintain the efficiency of the Lens while preventing the threat of that will occur when the Price of lenses he asked if Contact lenses have been developed to the Point where anyone can be

Gino Del Guercio United press International rays of unborn babies More than double their risk of developing cancer during according to a study by the National cancer the Institute studied medical records of twins born in Connecticut from 1930 to it found 31 cases of childhood cancer and or 39 per of those victims had been prayed before the researchers concluded that the chances of getting cancer thus times greater among prayed Chil we found that twins who were prayed in Uteri May have a higher risk of cancer in childhood before the age of said Elizabeth primary author of the published

it overcomes two criticisms of the previous twins were selected for the study because the Mother is often prayed simply to find out whether she is carry ing twins not because of any medical condition which might predispose the child the the researchers earlier studies were suspected of being flawed because fetuses were often prayed because of maternal because the mothers were sick they might also have been More Likely to remember that they had been thus increasing the apparent number of rays in these the study the findings Are not Likely to have much Impact on the practice of praying pregnant women because other such As have replaced rays in just about All tests of unborn it does add evidence to another controversy whether there is a threshold level at which radiation no longer increases the risk of the twins were generally exposed to Between 1 and 4 rads of these doses Are smaller than the smallest amounts of radiation found to cause cancer in adults this Doest resolve the said a staff epidemiologist at the National cancer but it does indicate that Low doses could be associated with a carcinogenic in an accompanying Brian a faculty member at the Harvard school of Public said it seemed unlikely the Issue would be the possibility of assembling another series the size of those in a British study or Connecticut studies is particularly Given the infrequency of the proce Dure
