Optometry Today claims a 67 year-old London woman recently went to an ophthalmologist because she thought she was suffering from dry eye and old age. The ophthalmologist found a mass of 17 contact lenses in the woman’s eye. Doctors then found another 10 contact lenses.

The opthamologist tells the site that the woman thought she had lost the lenses. “It was such a large mass. All the 17 contact lenses were stuck together. We were really surprised that the patient didn’t notice it because it would cause quite a lot of irritation while it was sitting there. She was quite shocked. When she was seen two weeks after I removed the lenses she said her eyes felt a lot more comfortable.”

The lenses had built up over 20 years.

WTF! How does one not understand this, I’m surprised she didn’t go blind.
