General News Eyeball gets eaten when Taiwanese student leaves contacts in for six months

Lian Kao: Bug eats Taiwanese student eyeballs after she leaves contact lenses in for six months | Metro News

That's what happens when you're too stupid with your contacts.

I feel bad for her, now she's suffering vision problems.

 

How horrible.

 

That's awful. :icon_sad:

 

That's horrifying. ._.

 

I wonder what eyeball tastes like...

 

Now I remember why I stopped wearing contacts.

 

I'm not sure why she thought that it would be a good idea to do this. It's sad that it happened, but this serves as a reminder to take care of personal hygiene needs.

 

Yeah, I doubt that she forgot. Contacts obviously feel like something, especially if they're soft.

 

That headline. I hate those click-bait headline. It sounded like her eyes being ate by some kind of eye-eating insects. Turn out she just got infected eyes. Bacteria are not bugs, damn it!

In any case, seems like she didn't forget it on her eyes, but more like, got worked like a slave and didn't even have time for personal hygiene.

 

:eek: Oh God why did I click on the link, the picture was disgusting! Absolutely not ok.

 

I usually leave mine in for a few weeks at a time, but SIX MONTHS? What was she thinking?

 

Strongly agreed

 

Geez...six months?? That's so...insaneeeeeeee :O. And it sounds horrifying too!! .

 

My contacts aren't covered by insurance, so my mom makes me wear my disposible contacts until they tear, which is usually about 3-7 months. Nonetheless, at least I take them out every night and clean them.

I feel sorry for her, but she should have known better.

 

Wonderfully grotesque picture.

 

Ouch!! I feel bad for her, but it is all her fault.

 

Another reason I'm glad I wear dailies. Put them in in the morning, pitch them when you go to bed.

 

*hugs glasses tightly*

 

She kept the same contacts in for 6 months.... What did she expect?
