flag A UK nurse lost vision in one eye due to improper contact lens use, but recovered after emergency treatment.

flag A 36-year-old nurse from Romford, Essex, lost vision in her right eye after repeatedly wearing daily disposable contact lenses for weeks, despite being advised to discard them after each use. flag She developed a habit of leaving lenses in for extended periods, especially after nights out, leading to a severe bacterial infection behind the lens. flag In August 2025, she experienced intense eye pain and sudden blindness, prompting emergency treatment at Moorfields Eye Hospital. flag After five weeks of intensive care, including hourly eye drops and corneal scrapings, her vision fully recovered. flag Though doctors said she could wear lenses again, she has chosen not to, warning others about the risks of improper contact lens use and emphasizing that the incident was preventable.
