UK surgeon finds 17 missing contact lenses in woman’s eye

UK surgeon finds 17 missing contact lenses in woman’s eye:

The 67-year-old patient was unaware that the contact lenses were missing, and later told surgeons that she thought her discomfort was due to dry eye and old age.

Specialist trainee ophthalmologist, Rupal Morjaria, told OT that another 10 individual contact lenses were discovered in the woman’s eye following further examination at Solihull Hospital.

The operating team, which included an ophthalmologist with more than 20 years of experience, were startled by the discovery, Ms Morjaria explained.

“None of us have ever seen this before,” she added.

This is shocking. If one contact goes rogue in my eye I use anything with the exception of the jaws of life to get it. This person has over a dozen missing contacts persisting for years and thinks nothing of it!? My God..
