Putting a bandage contact lens in my blind eye

Transcript

Original caption

I went blind after showering with my contacts in. Doing this allowed the amoeba’s that live in all water to get stuck on my contacts. They then embedded into my corneas and have been eating them for the past year. Even though I have been in treatment for over a year, my eyes still flares up with no explainable reason and this one is particularly bad. I’m praying this bandage contact lens will help ease the pain a little. ❤️‍🩹🙏🏼 #eyes #blind #blindness #contactlenses #acanthamoeba

Doctor gave me a bandage contact lens to put in my eye if it wasn't getting any better. So I'm gonna find it in. We always have to wash your hands and dry them completely before touching your eyes. My hands are completely dry now. So we're gonna put in the contact. I'm honestly a little bit nervous. I haven't put in contact lenses in since about June of last year. So I'm gonna put in the contact. I'm honestly a little bit nervous. I haven't put in contact lenses in since about June of last year. There it is. Oh my gosh. I'm so scared. My doctor's been the one putting my bandage contact lenses in when I've needed them. So, yeah. Let's see how this goes. A close up of my eye before the lens is in there. There it is. Oh my gosh, they're so slippery. There it is. Now let's see if I can get this in my eye. Oh my gosh. Okay, that wasn't even that bad at all. I can't even feel it in there. So that must mean that I put it in there correctly. I think. I honestly don't even know if you'll be able to tell that it's in there. But here's my eye after the contact lens is in. My flare up has been so extremely bad. So I'm really hoping that this is gonna help. Make sure you never sleep, shower or swim with your contacts in because you don't want this to happen to you. It sucks and it's awful. Anyways, Jesus loves you so so much and with God anything is possible. Bye.
