The article never explicitly made the connection between contacts and this condition.
Does it trap the parasites against the eye? Does it cause micro tears that allow the parasites to enter? In which case, just being a contact user would be the problem, not wearing them while swimming. I didn’t see anything in the story that would indicate NOT wearing contacts would prevent this.
You shouldn’t really wear your contacts if they’re going to come into contact with water, they will indeed trap parasites against the eye that would under normal circumstances get cleared away.

Ok. But I’m a little annoyed it wasn’t expressly stated in the article. I don’t wear contacts.
I thought this is why swim goggles exist. Chlorine,salt, any water is hard on the eyes regardless of contact lenses.
