Pov: amoe bas are eating my eyes after I showered with contacts in

Original caption

Showering with my contacts allowed the ameobas that live in all water called Acanthameoba to get stuck on my eyes. They then embedded themselves into my cornea where they have been eating them for the past year. This has caused me to go blind and live in extreme pain every day. Please learn from my mistake and never ever shower, sleep, or swim in your contacts! Share this video with a friend that wears contacts! ❤️‍🩹🙏🏼 ##eyes##blind##blindness##contactlenses##acanthamoeba
