The woman said she felt something in her eye that she couldn’t get out, had blurred vision and pain...
The doctor did a routine examination, but couldn’t figure out what was wrong until she used an instrument to keep both eyelids open and could use her hands to “find out what was going on.”
That’s when she saw the contact lenses stuck together.
She started pulling them out and asked her assistant to record her.
She added that she had never seen anything like that in her 20 years of practice.
The patient couldn’t believe it either. After the removal was done, Kurteeva flushed the eye out and sent the patient home with anti-inflammatory drops.
She examined the various contact lenses and determined they were the kind that should not be used for more than 24 hours.
Kurteeva explained that the patient could have lost her vision, scratched her cornea or gotten an infection. She was very fortunate.
Despite that, the patient has gone back to wearing contact lenses. But she’s doing well, feeling more comfortable and can see clearly... .

Amazingly forgetful.
Not being able to use it for more that 24 hours means you don't clean them. You remove them and toss them.
Cloth eared bint.
Stuff like this is why doctors originally injected insulin for diabetics at their offices… daily… because they refused to believe that patients could be smart enough to do it themselves.
“...Kurteeva flushed the eye out and sent the patient home with anti-inflammatory drops.”
Sent the patient home? The Doc should’ve sent the patient to a mental health professional.
Do we need intelligence exams in order to get prescriptions for contact lenses? /sarc
What a maroon. I accidentally put one on top of the other once and I noticed it right away.
The eye clinic had placed one of those flexible plastic contact lens in my eye. I was unable to remove it for cleanning. Had to go to the eye clinic to get it out. From then on I stuck to hard contact lenses. Those were much easier to remove.
