A California doctor has reported that an elderly patient, who initially sought help due to experiencing blurred vision, was found to have a total of 23 disposable contact lenses lodged in her eye.
“To this day, she herself does not understand how it took place,” Dr. Katerina Kurteeva, a Newport Beach ophthalmologist, told a local TV news channel. “She’s still baffled by it all.”
Images and a video capturing the extraction of a series of contact lenses from a woman’s eye have gone viral on Kurteeva’s Instagram account, sparking a wave of sensational news coverage.
