在香港，愛美的女士們都喜歡去美甲店做指甲，讓自己的指甲閃閃動人。不過，高雄的28歲余小姐就因為Gel甲後捽眼，差點付出視力的代價。
事情是這樣的：余小姐有季節性結膜炎，眼睛癢得讓她忍不住用手抓。但就在她做完美甲後，用指甲抓下眼瞼時，不小心刮傷了角膜。第二天，她感到眼睛紅腫刺痛，馬上去看醫生。醫生發現，她的左眼結膜下出血，右眼也有多條角膜刮傷，指甲上的化學物質更是加重了情況。
眼科醫生表示，她的角膜幾乎被劃破，還出現了蓄膿的狀況，視力一度降到0.5，險些失明。幸好經過治療，她的視力恢復到了1.0。
這次經歷讓余小姐嚇得不輕，那麼，日後遇到眼睛癢該怎麼辦呢？美甲師建議，最好用指腹輕輕按壓，而不是用指甲直接抓。無論是否美甲，眼睛這個靈魂之窗本來就很脆弱，隨便揉抓會增加感染風險。醫生也提醒，用乾淨紙巾擦拭是比較安全的選擇，以免不小心受傷。
各位無論有沒有 Gel 甲都要小心保護雙眼，畢竟健康才是最美的！
