Transcript

In case you were wondering how I went blind from showering… because I was wearing contacts this allowed the ameobas that live in all water to get stuck on my eyes. They then embedded into my corneas and has been eating them for the past year. Please don’t make the same mistake I did. Please never sleep, shower, or swim in your contacts. It is not worth risking losing your vision. 🥲❤️‍🩹 #ey#eyesl#blindl#blindnesso#contactlensesc#acanthamoeba
