Is it a posible infection risk?

[Dude1238]

Hey great soul. 2 days ago i was taking a shower when a water drop from the my broken ceiling went to my eye. The water drop came from a leaking pipe. Theres mold near the wall too. My eyes feel abit pain full. Do you think im at risk for infection from contaminated water? What test should my optomologist do? Please help

Not likely especially if you have the good sense to rinse your eye with clean water or artificial tears. If you eye is infected it would be red and producing pus.  If they are see an Eye MD ophthalmologist.  Not likely to cause a problem though.

Thanks doctor :)  should i worry obout Acanthamoeba keratitis ? Or the black mold fungus that went in my eye?

[JohnHaganMD]

That fungus generally occurs in people wearing contact lens improperly or who swim in contaminated water with their contacts in.

If you get anything in your eyes. Rinse immediately tap water, saline, artificial tears, commercial eye rinse.
