In one such incident, a UK teenager was left with the devastating illness called ME after a parasite burrowed in her eye through her lenses.
According to a Daily Mail report, when she was 14, after a parasite (Acanthamoeba keratitis) burrowed in her cornea and ate away at her eye – where it is still ‘sleeping’!
Horrifying!
19-year-old Skye Wheeler has been battling excruciating pain and exhaustion which have confined her to a room. The parasite is found in tap water and is believed to have entered through a droplet of water between her eye and contact lens.
ME is a neurological condition which causes extreme exhaustion, pain, brain fog, and a variety of other symptoms, such as post-exertional malaise.
If you use contact lenses always make sure you maintain good hygiene!
