Woman had 23 contact lenses stuck under her eyelid
美國一女子眼瞼下卡有23片隱形眼鏡
A woman who felt like there was “something in her eye” actually had 23 daily disposable contact lenses stuck deep underneath her eyelid, her ophthalmologist, Dr. Katerina Kurteeva, reported.
據眼科醫生凱特琳娜?庫爾提娃博士的報告，她的一位女性患者稱感覺“眼睛里有東西”，實際上有23片日拋型隱形眼鏡深陷在她的眼瞼下。
“I was just amazed myself. I was like, this is kind of crazy. I’ve never seen this before,” Kurteeva said.
庫爾提娃表示，“我當時自己也很驚訝。這太瘋狂了！以前從未見過這種情況?！?/p>
The patient, who is in her 70s, has been wearing contact lenses for 30 years.
這位70多歲的病人已經戴了30年的隱形眼鏡。
“It was literally like a deck of cards,” Kurteeva recalled. “It formed a little chain link on her lid. Fortunately the woman didn’t have an infection — just mild irritation that was treated with anti-inflammatory drops — and is doing fine, Kurteeva said.
庫爾提娃回憶稱，“那簡直就像一副撲克牌，在她眼瞼下形成了一個小鏈環?！?幸運的是，這名婦女沒有感染，只是輕微的刺激，用消炎藥治療后，現在一切正常。
This is actually not the most extreme case.
實際上這不是最極端的情況。
In 2017, British doctors found 27 contact lenses in a 67-year-old woman’s eye who thought dry eye and aging caused her irritation.
2017年，英國醫生在一名67歲婦女的眼睛里發現了27枚隱形眼鏡，她認為干眼癥和衰老是導致她過敏的原因。
The patient told Kurteeva she had no idea how this happened, but the doctor had some theories.
庫爾提娃的病人告訴她，她不知道這是怎么發生的，但醫生有一些推測。
The woman probably thought she removed the lenses by sliding them off to the side, but actually didn’t take them out and they just kept hiding under the upper lid, she said.
她說，這名婦女可能認為她通過將鏡片滑向一邊來摘除鏡片，但實際上并沒有將其取出，而是一直藏在她的眼瞼下面。
In an older patient, the fornix becomes very deep, which is related to aging changes of the eye and the face, and the way the orbit atrophies, leading to sunken eyes, Kurteeva said.
庫爾提娃表示，在老年患者中，穹窿變得非常深，這與眼睛和面部的衰老變化有關，也與眼眶萎縮的方式有關，從而導致眼睛凹陷。
The contact lenses were tucked away so deep and so far away from the cornea, the most sensitive part of the eye, that the woman didn’t feel the clump — until it became very big.
隱形眼鏡藏得很深，離角膜這個眼睛最敏感的部位很遠，所以這位女士沒感覺到結塊——直到它變大。
People who wear contacts for decades lose some of their corneal sensitivity, so that might be another reason she didn’t feel the blob, she added.
戴隱形眼鏡幾十年的人會失去一些角膜敏感性，所以這可能是她感覺不到隱形眼鏡的另一個原因。
