A California ophthalmologist was shocked to discover that a patient who complained of pain and blurriness had 23 contact lenses lodged in her eye after forgetting to remove them every day.
Dr. Katerina Kurteeva of California checks for foreign objects in her patient's eye after she complained of pain and blurriness."I used an anesthetic and a yellow stain to identify any scratches or foreign bodies," she wrote in an essay in Insider."I could see the edges of a couple of contacts stuck to each other," the doctor wrote after probing further.
After an initial examination, Kurteeva said she used an eyelid speculum, which keeps both the upper and lower lids open, to search more deeply. Kurteeva said the patient put in a new contact lens every day for 23 days but never took the others out.“Asking the patient to look down again, I could see a huge, dark-purple blob of contact lenses stuck to her eye. It almost looked like a second pupil,” Kurteeva continued.
