WHAT’S LIVING ON YOUR CONTACT LENSES?
We’re constantly surrounded by microbes that can eat our eyeballs, but that doesn’t usually happen unless you wear contact lenses.
Contacts are awesome, but anyone who’s worn them, knows that they can cause problems, like redness and eye pain. But the most serious problem is something called “Microbial Keratitis,” which is an infection of the cornea. The cornea is the clear layer that is considered the transparent window of the eyeball. And if it gets infected it can sometimes lead to blindness. Lots of different germs can cause keratitis: bacteria, fungi, viruses like herpes, and even amoeba. The interesting thing is that the species of fungi, amoeba, and bacteria that cause the disease are actually found all over the place. Literally. For example, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, which is the most common keratitis-causing bacteria, is actually found in tap water and on the lettuce in your fridge! But if these bugs are so prevalent, why aren’t we constantly getting infections?
Great question. Well, because our eyes are really important for our survival, we’ve developed lightning quick defenses to kill most germs that land there. In fact, these defenses are so good that by studying the eye, scientists are starting to learn some secrets for keeping other parts of our body pathogen-free. The problem is that these super prevalent microbes are super prevalent because they’re awesome at adapting to new situations.
So when you trap them against your eye with a contact lens for hours on end, you could essentially be selecting for bugs that can survive this really harsh environment. The few that make it actually like it there and keep on replicating. To make matters worse, when you remove your lenses and leave them to soak, you may be selecting for bugs that can survive antimicrobial solutions, as well! Eventually, these superbugs might start eating their way through your cornea.
If you feel any discomfort in your eye, like if it feels like there’s something stuck in there even after you take out your lenses and that feeling just seems to get worse, keep those lenses out of your eyes and let your doctor know. If you wait too long, your body’s inflammatory response can kick in, which can cause its own damage. In fact, it’s sometimes the inflammation, and not the amoeba or bacteria, that finally causes blindness.
Keratitis only affects about 0.2% of people who wear contact lenses on an extended basis. But for those who get it, it can be extremely serious, so scientists are studying how to prevent it altogether. But in the meantime, if you’re a contact lens wearer, what can you do to prevent keratitis?
Well, it’s not foolproof, but wearing the type of lenses you throw out at the end of each day could help. And of course follow your doctor’s instructions.

How to Avoid the Most Common Crestron Support Problems
Proper Installation and Maintenance Ensure You Have a Reliable Smart Home
Even when working with the top home automation brands, you may encounter problems with your brand new smart technology. As one of the top Crestron dealers in South Florida, we often receive calls from homeowners trying to fix existing systems that are hard to manage or break down regularly.
Realizing that there are a lot of people dealing with poorly programmed systems, we've ramped up the Crestron support services we offer. Though we're available 365 days of the year, 24 hours a day to help you with your smart home issues, we know the goal is to get it right from the start.
How can you make sure that you avoid some common smart technology headaches in your Miami home? Below we highlight three steps you can take to limit the number of service calls down the line. If you’re in need of immediate help, you can also click the button below for a one-on-one meeting.
SCHEDULE A CONSULTATION
CREATE RELIABLE AND THOROUGH DOCUMENTATION
A professional smart home company should take the time to design a system built for success. This includes having the right wiring, equipment placement, and wired or wireless connections. The only way to ensure a properly designed system is to have the documentation to back it up. The company should present and review this documentation with you.
Documentation isn't just important during installation. Whenever there's need for maintenance or troubleshooting, these documents make it easy to find the problem and know the precise model and number of any hardware that needs replacement.
DEVELOPING THE RIGHT PROGRAMMING FRAMEWORK
No home automation system allows for as much programming flexibility as Crestron. While this is its biggest strength, it can also be its biggest problem if you're working with the wrong programmer.
With many programmers charging by the hour for each subsystem (like lighting or entertainment), there's a tendency to overcomplicate smart home installations. Make sure your installer is only including the technology that you need.
The other critical component of Crestron programming is its control platform. Each system will have a unique interface. You should work with your dealer to find images and labeling that make the most sense to you — so it's effortless for you to manage your smart home.

KEEPING YOUR SYSTEM UP TO DATE
Do you know if all the firmware and hardware is up to date on your Crestron system? A vital component of any Crestron support is coordinating with the homeowner to have these updates installed as soon as they're available.
Those updates provide access to Crestron’s latest features, which we would never want our clients to miss out on. More importantly, they are vital to patching up any possible security flaws within your smart home automation system.
Finally, as part of our support services, we’ll also let you know when new hardware is available. Find out when there are new speakers, receivers, or thermostats that you might enjoy. We’ll keep you in the loop, and provide a home visit to professionally install any upgrades.
If you’re ever in need of Crestron support services or a brand-new installation for your home, you can reach out to Audio One by calling 954-THEATER or by filling out the form below.

INTEGRATE MUSIC INTO YOUR HOME WITH SMART AUDIO
Whether it’s the morning commute, you’re at the gym or you’re in the office, you take music with you wherever you go. So why would you neglect your home audio system, when instead you could integrate music throughout your property? From the moment you enter your home, with the smart home installation you can ensure you enjoy fantastic audio, with the option to add different playlists for different rooms or to have a dedicated listening room with high fidelity, studio-quality sound.
Set the scene for family dinner
Picture it: it’s getting late on a Sunday afternoon and your relatives are starting to arrive for a big family dinner. They’re welcomed in the living room with a gentle soundtrack to match the half-lowered shades and soft lighting. They then filter into your dining room, with gentle jazz and low lights for the adults, and a separate area with brighter lights and funkier music for the kids. Afterwards, everyone congregates in the kitchen for drinks with a more upbeat tune. With a whole-home audio system, you can set the perfect mood in every room with just the touch of a button.
Create a full soundscape in your listening room
Once the family has left, you can retire to your dedicated listening room for a nightcap. Fully textured sound fills the room, making you feel like you’re actually in the studio with your favourite artists. And with the addition of a drop-down screen, your room becomes a private home theater with cinematic surround sound, immersing you in epic movies. All it takes is a few simple commands on your smartphone, tablet or remote control.
Are you ready to experience the benefits of whole-home audio? Contact Audio One to get started on your home automation installation in Vaughan.
