A Contact Lens Was Embedded in Woman’s Eyelid for 28 Years

Imagine going to the eye doctor because your upper eyelid is swollen and painful. The doctor tells you it’s a cyst and operates. Inside the blister, the surgeon finds a contact lens: a rigid gas-permeable one.
But you haven’t worn that type of contact in 28 years.
That’s what happened to a 42-year-old British woman, according to a report recently published in the journal BMJ Case Reports.
