shocking! 23 contact lenses removed from woman’s eye – Times of India

In a strange incident, a doctor has removed 23 contact lenses from a woman’s eye. A video posted by an Instagram account california_eye_associates shows how a large amount of lenses were removed from the woman’s eyes.

“A rare occasion when someone forgot to remove contact lenses at night” and kept putting on a new one every morning. 23 days in a row!!! I got to deliver a bunch of contact lenses at my clinic yesterday,” Khata captioned the video.

Contact lenses are thin pieces of lenses that are placed directly on the eye. Contact lenses are also used for aesthetic purposes as an alternative to glasses. Since it goes directly into the eyes, doctors recommend wearers to remove it after 8-10 hours of use.

Lenses need to be put in solution to keep them disinfected so that they are safe enough to be worn again.

The woman in the video wore those lenses and did not remove them. She kept wearing the new one for 23 days in a row.

One user has asked “Okay but… don’t you feel them in the back?” For those unaware, contact lenses cause irritation even if they are not worn properly. Slight disorientation while wearing them can cause serious trouble to the eyes. However, it is hard to believe that the woman could not feel so many lenses buried inside her eye socket.

Another user seems to have a valid answer for those who are questioning the lady: “Poor .. you could tell her an older lady .. she probably didn’t think much about it, a lot of older guys think that pain and discomfort is usually normal. And take it as much as possible because. There’s the old one and thinks and feels that now someone really cares”

“You are my Guinness Record patient,” the doctor can be heard saying.
