Same can't unsee this shit.

How is this even possible? Just rubbing my eyes too hard would make my contacts fall out. I can't imagine have 17 and having eye irritation and not being able to get them out just by rubbing your eye.

Honestly the doctors thought the same which is part of why they chose to publish the case. It appears she was mostly asymptomatic as a result of this only experiencing very minor discomfort she chose not to see an optometrist for. Many doctors don't even bother to check because of how unlikely they think it is!

 

[Spinluck]

I don't know how someone could have this happen.

I can already tell when my contacts are in. More so when I fall asleep with them on which is a big no no.

I'm guessing she's just fallen asleep in them a ton of times... Even then I still can't fathom it. Putting more than one lens on one eye seems difficult enough.

 

[Dynomutt]

Is this bad hygiene of forgetfulness? Type of stuff your hear someone say their teeth hurt to find out they don't brush them. This is just nasty.

 

[Theonik]

Reading the story this happened over a long period of time. She wore these 1 month use lenses for more than 35 years. So she probably lost the odd lens and didn't think to check thinking they might have fallen off. More often than not this leads to infections and irritation that might prompt a doctor visit but not in this case. She then started having a deterioration in her vision due to old age that prompted her to visit a doctor where they scheduled the surgery where they discovered the lenses.

I can barely stand one. I had a contact dry out while I was snowboarding once and it was like the worst shit ever since you could feel it as you blink when it stuck.... How.

 

[danowat]

I left one in overnight by accident once, and that felt like I'd rinsed my eyes with sand the next morning.

God knows what 27 felt like.

To be fair these are monthly contacts not daily ones.

 

[SargerusBR]

Grant us eyes.

 

[sixteen-bit]

Eye can't believe it

 

[blakep267]

I wear contacts and I have had lenses that I swear get lost in my eye from time to time.I want to say 3 over time. So this is scary to me.

I don't understand. Why wouldn't you go to the eye doctor after he first one went missing

 

[DiipuSurotu]

Eye can't believe it

Eyyye lmao

 

[4444244]

I would have taken out all of the contacts except one.

 

[Daingurse]

As someone who wears contacts, I literally don't see how this is possible.

+1 reason to stick with glasses

[Matrix XII]

How did no doctor notice this? I mean, this whole story is very bizarre and I'm not sure if we know all the information here. Perhaps this lady has a mental disorder??

 

[danowat]

Even so, 27!

 

[Icanplaythat]

Like... she kept putting in fresh ones everyday?

So... she would go to sleep knowing she left them in?

And... she thought the discomfort was old age?

If this person doesn't have dementia and isn't senile, I call this story horse poop.

Are you really incapable of realizing you put in 27 contacts in your eye and never took any out?

 

[NimbusD]

Older people can be really friggen weird
