Bug Eats Woman's Eyeball's After Wearing Contacts For Six Months

There is a young woman in in Taiwan who lost her eye sight because she worse contacts six months straight without cleaning it or taking it off.

Daily Mail reports that a tiny bug called amoeba ate away her eyes. She kepy her contacts on at all times even she went swimming. 

'A shortage of oxygen can destroy the surface of the epithelial tissue, creating tiny wounds into which the bacteria can easily infect, spreading to the rest of the eye and providing a perfect breeding ground.'


'The girl should have thrown the contact lenses away after a month but instead she overused them and has now permanently damaged her corneas.'
