US doctor removes 23 contact lenses stuck in eye like ‘stack of pancakes’

The patient, who had been avoiding visits to her eye doctor due to Covid, complained about feeling something foreign in her eye

A California eye doctor has said an elderly patient who came in complaining of blurry vision ended up having 23 disposable contact lenses in her eye.

To this day, she herself does not understand how it took place," Dr Katerina Kurteeva, a Newport Beach ophthalmologist, told a local TV news channel. She's still baffled by it all."
