A 39-year-old named Groeschen got up one morning just to see his eye got irritated during the night. The condition of his eye became worse and worse in the days that followed and he was forced to seek medical help.
Once at the Cincinnati Eye Institute, he received some sad news.
He contracted a bacteria known as Pseudomonas. The reason why, according to his doctors, was that he was going to bed at night with his contact lenses on and this bacteria is capable of “incubating” below contact lenses.
“It is the same as seeing through a piece of glass that is opaque. Your cornea becomes somewhat eroded as a result of the illness,” doctors told him.
“The scar tissue that forms as a result of the infection will make it difficult for you to see as the infection clears up.”
Unfortunately, the only way for him to regain his sight was a cornea transplant, a surgery with a recovery time of approximately one year.
