The doctor in the video is heard so far she has removed two lenses and many more are there to be removed. Further, the doctor told her patient that she already has removed 10 to 12 lenses and more are there, the patient couldn’t believe that there was so many lense in her eyes.
The doctor in the video said that because the lenses had been glued for almost a month, she had to use force to pry them apart. Since the lenses are so smooth and thin, she continued, they formed a brick-like structure that blocked vision.
Many users expressed sympathy for the woman and cautioned others against using lenses.
