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.

She probably wore them day and night until one disappeared. Thinking it fell out while she slept (?), she then put in a new one.
 
The few times that I put even two lenses in one eye, my vision in that eye became distorted. I'm not even sure I could put 27 lenses in one eye and still feel comfortable.
