Oct. 19, 2022 -- A California eye doctor is urging people to be more vigilant when wearing contact lenses after removing 23 contact lenses from a patient’s eye.posted on Instagram, ophthalmologist Katerina Kurteeva, MD, is shown removing contact lenses from a woman's eye.“They were essentially glued together after sitting under the eyelid for a month,” Kurteeva said in the post., noting that the patient didn’t know how she could have forgotten to take her lenses out..
Kurteeva told the Los Angeles TV station that the cornea becomes desensitized after years of contact lens wear. "This is essentially a protective feature, because otherwise you'd be really bothered by everyday contact lens wear. After all, it is a foreign body in your eye," she said."So when the cornea loses sensitivity, it's sort of an adjustment, but at the same time, you don't feel when something is really wrong as acutely."
Kurteeva encouraged people who wear contact lenses to follow safety practices such as safe handling and storage procedures.
