In general, these microplastics are not good for us. A prior study I posted how they can be so small they slip through tissue and then into cells, where they can gum up processes,

I would have thought them to be harmless, like dust, but they are smaller than dust, most of the time.

It has made me briefly rinse cups I left out, before drinking from them, and encouraged me putting lids on them. It’s also made me more aware of air filtration and the need for more frequent vacuuming.

90,000 microplastics from contacts that look normal, but were only sitting in water (with UV light at the Sun’s strength? Bizarre.

Hmmm, I got implanted lenses because of cataracts. Wonder if they shed.

This is another mindless study that serves no purpose. Literally over 100M people worldwide wear them and most never have an issue. I’ve been wearing lenses for almost 40 years. Never an issue except the occasional tear or the piece that needs to be flushed.

And yet, we live a much longer life than those people who lived before plastics. People worry too much.
