An eye doctor has shared a gruesome photo showing the eye of a patient who developed a potentially blinding ulcer, to warn those who see it against sleeping in soft contact lenses.
Vollmer described the bacteria as “opportunistic,” and warned it can quickly lead to permanent blindness if left untreated. “Yes, this post is a ‘scare tactic’... to get you to stop sleeping in soft contacts,” Vollmer stated beneath the post which was shared almost 300,000 times. “People need to see these images and remind themselves/family/friends to also be aware of contact lens misuse.”
