Woman finds contact lens that’d been lodged in her eye for 28 YEARS

Is there anything more annoying than losing a contact lens? A woman in the UK thought hers fell out until doctors found it embedded in her eye decades later. 

A recent BMJ Case Report detailed the 42-year-old woman’s horrific experience. She had visited her eye doctor for painful swelling in her upper eyelid. An MRI revealed a cyst in the eye tissue, which ruptured during the removal surgery. That’s when doctors found a WHOLE CONTACT LENS that had been lodged inside the patient’s eyelid tissue for 28 years.

I repeat: A WHOLE CONTACT LENS.
