Most people often use contact lenses for the to see things clearer. But didn't you know that those contact lenses that you uses can harm your eyes?
In this case, a teenager experiences severe pain in her eyes. At first she thought that it's just a minor infection that will only need eye drops for treatment. But as day passes, the pain is getting worse. That's why her parents decided to bring her to the hospital for her eyes to get checked.
The doctors were forced to scrape a tiny layer of her eye to use in a test. The doctors were very much surprised when they found out that there's a parasite called Acanthamoeba that's living under her eyeball.
The 19 year-old- Jessica Greaney was asked to stay awake for four straight days for the operation to be successful. Because of the lack of sleep, Jessica was obviously exhausted.
The operation was successful, but then she needed to apply 20 eye drops to her eyes as a treatment for what just happened to her.
