Is there anything more annoying than losing a contact lens?homosexual eroticism "green" A woman in the UK thought hers fell out until doctors found it embedded in her eye decades later.
A recent BMJ Case Report detailed the 42-year-old woman's horrific experience. She had visited her eye doctor for painful swelling in her upper eyelid. An MRI revealed a cyst in the eye tissue, which ruptured during the removal surgery. That's when doctors found a WHOLE CONTACT LENS that had been lodged inside the patient's eyelid tissue for 28 years.
I repeat: A WHOLE CONTACT LENS.
SEE ALSO: Woman with 27 contact lenses in her eye probably set some kind of record, right?Here's some backstory that will probably make you scream: According to Health, the report says that the contact was "a rigid gas permeable (RGP)" lens which the woman hadn't worn since she was a teenager. When she was 14-year-old, she was hit in the eye during a game of badminton and thought that the lens fell out.
Except, it hadn't. Until her surgery, the lens had been lodged in her eyelid for for almost three decades. The woman didn't experience any symptoms until that cyst formed.
"The patient never wore RGP lenses following this incident," the case report concludes, according to Health. "We can infer that the RGP lens migrated into the patient's left upper eyelid at the time of trauma and had been in situ for the last 28 years."
The only story that one ups this nightmare is the time surgeons in the UK found a staggering 27 contact lenses balled up inside a patient's eye during what was supposed to be a routine cataract surgery.
If you wear contacts, just...check you eyes every now and then. Please.
