23 Contact Lenses In Your Eye At Once Does Not Create Super Vision
When Dr. Katerina Kurteeva removed 23 contact lenses from a patient's eye, she likely didn't expect the internet to go wild. But that's precisely what happened when she posted a video of the spectacle on Instagram. The patient had been wearing a new set of contacts every day for 23 days in a row without ever taking the old ones out. When Dr. Kurteeva found the lenses, the patient developed a serious infection.
Dr. Kurteeva's video has since been shared widely on social media, with many users expressing their shock at the woman's irresponsible behavior. Some have even called for her to be altogether banned from contact lens use.
While judging this patient is easy, we should remember that accidents can happen to anyone. So if you wear contacts, be sure to follow your doctor's instructions and take out your lenses before going to bed.
