According to the report, the 23 year old student, Lian Kao, was much busy in her university exams that she didn’t get much time to clean her contact lenses on regular basis which left her with infected eyes.
When she eventually went to hospital, medics were horrified when they removed the contact lenses to find that the surface of the girl’s eyes had literally been eaten by a single-cell amoeba.
And as a result the girl left blinded.
Her Doctor Wu Jian-liang said in a talk “The girl should have thrown the contact lenses away after a month but instead she overused them and has now permanently damaged her corneas”.
