UK surgeon had to remove 27 contact lenses from a woman's eye after they became lost.
The 67-year-old patient was reportedly unaware that she had lost the lenses, putting the discomfort and dryness down to getting old.
However, when specialist trainee ophthalmologist Rupal Morjaria had a look ahead of the woman's cataract surgery last November, she found a 'blueish mass' of 17 contacts.
On closer inspection, she then came across a further 10 lenses during the inspection at Solihull Hospital.
The woman had been wearing monthly disposables for the past 35 years but didn't get her eyes checked regularly.
