Man Leaves Contacts in for a Year ---They Fuse onto Eyeball

[fuzzylogic]

A 40-year-old Chinese man only known as Liu had contact lenses he wore for a year straight surgically removed because they grew into his eyes. He said that they proved difficult to take out, and just used eye drops when they bothered him.

When his vision started to go downhill recently, he decided to put in another pair on top of the old set. Said Liu, "I put a pair of used disposal contact lenses over the other two pairs in my eyes. By then, I was wearing three pairs of lenses."

When the third pair didn't help - and his eyes suffered a bad reaction the following day - he finally decided to see a doctor.

What a retard...

[MintCams]

Yea I leave mine in for a long time too, the doctors dont seem to like that too much.

3 pairs of contacts!!!! Unbelievable!

[Strickie]

reading that makes my eyes hurt

[Spunky]

Lmao..put on another 2 pairs ..he deserves to be blind

[WebairGerard]

some people do very odd things

[jeffrey]

Thats messed up. I mean what would have been going through his mind to think that would be a good idea. lol


I wear the night and days for 30-35 days at a time, never taking them out for that time, but they are approved for 30 days.

My friend leaves hers in for lengths of time ... I've always wondered how long would be too long.

[SxDx]

gotta get laser eye surgery. i did 5 years ago....best thing i've ever done.

[Vendot]

Fucking idiot, you should never leave them in.

I use daily disposables so i dont have to worry, but even if i was using other types i would never leave them in thats just fucked. Your eyes need to breathe properly.

[Naughty Justice]

I wear 2 week disposables, I've always been relatively poor so got in the habit of stretching the time out. Usually wear them for a month or as long as I can until they fall out pretty much, but without taking them off at night. Doctors always complain saying my eye sight is going to get worse and I'll get some eye problems from doing that, but I've been doing that for about 7 years now and they still can't find anything wrong with my eyes, actually they've slowed down in their deterioration.

I've wondered before if it was possible for contacts to become fused onto your eyes though...interesting, poor guy.

[Jace]

before I got lasik I would leave mine in for months at a time, i rarely ever used solution or anything...never had any issues

but I never put another pair on top of the first pair, LOL....wow

[WDchris]

yeah, me too

[GhazAllOva]

ya that guy is a dumbass

[Jim_Gunn]

I use the daily disposables, and throw them out every day. You gotta give your eyes a chance to rest without the abrasions of the lenses rubbing against your eyes while you sleep.

[germ]

im supposed to wear contacts but im too much of a pussy to stick something in my eyeball.

[brownie]

i wear daily contacts but i'm so lazy i usually take them out about every week but i better just follow the freakin' daily rule i suppose. crazy story about that dude.

[D]

Somewhere... there's a guy whose 3rd pair is actually doing the job for him.

[BlackCrayon]

apparently its not good to stare at the computer screen for lengths of time with contacts in either. they say you should look away every now and again.

[Fap]

what a retard, stacking lenses?

[fuzzylogic]

i would like to let u ppl know that...

when i never not had contacts in during a 4yr period, my eye surface became starved for oxygen. blood vessels begain growing over my pupil area. now if one breaks, then i will be bloodshot over my vision area.

[chaze]

Wow are some people really this dumb?
