Um.

Surgeons have removed 27 contact lenses from the eye of a 67-year-old woman who had come to Solihull Hospital for routine cataract surgery.

"A bluish foreign body" turned out to be a "hard mass" of 17 lenses stuck together with mucus, and 10 more were then found under further examination.

A report in the BMJ said she had worn disposable lenses for 35 years, and had not complained of any irritation.

But after they were removed, she said her eyes felt a lot more comfortable.

how is that possible????????

The only way I'll give her a pass is if she has some kind of mental illness or some diagnosed cognitive impairment. Other than that. Nope...Some people have no common sense. I trip out on people like that. I really do.

I'd like to know how she didn't end up with an eye infection or blind.

Where did she 'store' them precisely?
