A lady being pre-examined for cataract surgery, was found to have 27 (yes, that is correct twenty seven) contacts lodged in her eye. She was unaware of this.
17 were found in the initial inspection, and then 10 more in a second inspection.
The surgery was postponed because there contacts were in her eye an unknown length of time and there was a bacteria danger.
She had not seen an eye doctor "for ever".
She wore monthly disposable lenses for 35 years. 4951
