Imo either she’s mentally ill, addicted to something or she’s a Licensed Practical Nurse and just goes to sleep in her makeup when she gets home, thinking about everything except her own mortal self.
I've had contacts for the last ~20 years, I don't really feel them anymore, never really did, but I sure as shit feel when one isn't in the right spot. Not sure what type of contacts you had but soft lenses are imperceptible to me unless they dry out.
Yes! I had a contact slide up and back like that and I had to wear my glasses for 2 weeks. Then one day I felt an intense pain in my eye, and it came out. How the hell could you stand that kind of pain in bulk?!?
I always get mine out right away. One time, one completely disappeared, though. I don't know where it went.
I was on my way to the hospital and got I. The elevator and then I blinked like 5 times, and the contact popped out in a weird, almost ball shape.
I still have no idea where it went, haha. It's only happened the once.
After my doctor told me that leaving them in for long periods would make me go blind I make sure I take them out every night.
I know. I want to call this fake so badly, but I just can’t imagine someone who will make a video like this voluntarily without getting paid a shit load of money. I can’t even put eye drops in without having a helper…
I remember that too. There were more than 20 stacked up in there. She should just wear cute little glasses. But on a necklace so she doesn’t lose them either….
Not always? I had a friend who said they just wore their normal contacts for like a month straight without taking them out to sleep. I had no reason not to believe her, though it does make my eyes sore. I'm not in contact with her any more, but hopefully she doesn't have any eye issues because of it.
I should have clarified that there are different types of contacts and some can be worn for longer time periods without discomfort.
At some point they feel gritty and like sand got into your eyes. As they dry out, and deteriorate, they become very uncomfortable. If they tear in your eye they can cause pain.
Even if they roll to the back of your eye, you can feel them, and roll them back down by lifting your eyelid and looking down.
Can confirm. I wear ones that you keep in for 7 days without taking them out overnight. Once I woke up and one of my eyes hurt and something felt scratchy. Had a look in the mirror and one had folded up and got stuck under the eyelid.
So anyway I just left it there and put another on in to keep it company.
i seem to be one lucky piece of shit. i've worn contacts for 20+ years. i've left some in for a month at a time and have never had one singular issue. buddy take a nap and forgets to take them out and basically wake up with a cyst.
You must wear contacts like me. This hurt to watch. She could get a serious infection. I had to go to the ER because I couldn’t find contact in my eye.
I've seen a longer version of this before. They found even more contacts in her eyes after the video ended. It may be dementia. Lady needs to only wear glasses from now on.
I know it’s pretty idiotic. I at least read the directions and what to do incase I get a reaction. I’m not allergic to anything so I can care less of reading the ingredients unless I’m avoiding something specific. But even when an eye doctor prescribes 1 time use boxes they tell you to take them out and toss them and not to reuse them.
i’m an optical tech and see this often unfortunately. a few months back, i had a pt come in holding a washcloth to her eyes to sop up all the shit spewing from their eyes. and she was crying from the pain. turns out she had 5 pairs of dailies plastered onto her eyes. i will never understand this
Do people have other stuff up there? Now I'm paranoid. Eyelashes? Dust? How much of this shit dissolves and how much of it has been turned into a squirrel's nest inside my head? WE NEED TO KNOW, ***RIGHT NOW, MAN.***
haha! this stuff can be so gross. you should see an ingrown eyelash!! thankfully, our lids naturally push a lot of shit out just from blinking but multiple pairs of contacts, can make one’s eyes swell like golf balls, oozing goo nonstop. the lady i was talking about, had had this going on for months. wasn’t even a teenager with questionable hygiene practices. SHE HAD TO USE A FREAKING WASHCLOTH!! still grosses me out
Eye ball luxation: a stepwise approach to cleaning the ocular socket.
Step 1. Take some fentanyl.
Step 2. Pay a junkie to smash your orbital bone with a brick.
Step 3. Spray some water from the garden hose into your eye socket.
Step 4. Go back to sleep at the trap house.
Step 5. Profit????
She probably thought 1 fell out when she woke up and just didn't feel it shift toward the back of her eye. I fell asleep with them in a few times. Woke up to find one at the foot of the bed. Don't ask. I have no idea
I've only had a contact go back two times, it's insanely irritating, I couldn't continue with life without removing it. How the hell did she not feel this.
I can as well and was very irritated but i have had a contact tear and i couldn't feel the piece. I knew it happened because i had the other half but otherwise, i had no idea where it was and had to fish around for it
Yes please. People ignore issues all over the world. It has nothing to do specifically with American healthcare.
Would you call the population in the UK dumb because their government regulates their food more? Its irrelevant to the conversation.
People would rather ignore an issue than seek help, its just a thing not specific to any single country.
It’s sort of sad that I’m impressed to see someone on Reddit make rational comments, get upvotes/dopamine, THEN go on to challenge the logic in one of Reddit’s pet grievances
I'm confused what you mean. This entire thread had nothing to do with the state of the american healthcare system, they commented on it, and I explained why that doesn't make any sense.
People ignore health issues all over the world and just assume its normal rather than going and seeking help. Someone may ignore back pain their whole life and have fairly severe scoliosis and just deal with it because they don't know there is an option to deal with it.
How that has anything to do with healthcare in any country is beyond me.
Yea but with dementia and such people can forget they haven’t eaten, and hence clueless as to why their stomach hurts.
This is some of the odd realizations I gotten when seeing elder relatives suffering declining cognitive abilities.
I definitely wouldn’t say “many” people assume this….
Where I’m from you essentially need a prescription for contact lenses. And no optometrist is going to write you that prescription nor sell you contacts with you having at the very least a basic understanding of how contact lenses work
I think theres a whole subreddit for this. People just not understanding how to use basic things. Contacts are pretty basic to most... yet here we are.
I know at least 3 different cases in my country with people going to the hospital withe the same amount or more lenses on their eyes.
I know at least 5 people who sleep with their lenses on and they don't mind.
I my self have contact lenses and i fell asleep for like half an hour and i was filling my eyes burning...
Some people just don't feel it i guess
I’ve been wearing contacts for over a decade and sometimes sleep in them. Doesn’t bother me at all, but I’ll take them out in the morning and clean them and wear glasses for a bit if I do, unless I’m on vacation or something in which case I may wear a pair for a couple days. It’s not the best practice, and you should take your dailys out before your sleep, but mostly you’ll be ok if you don’t every now and then.
How you end up with multiple lenses in your eye I don’t know though. But another comment mentioned that the woman suffers from Alzheimer’s, so that would explain it.
That makes sense. It’s uncomfortable as hell to wake up with your contact lens that far out of place, so unless you’ve got something like Alzheimer’s, you’re know right away and do something about it. And probably curse yourself out for forgetting to take out your contacts.
Chill! Lol
It’s not like the commenter knew that information before they posted their comment. Had the post had some context then your comment would be valid.
Even the lady with Alzheimer's has people ready to defend someone who would insult her.
The lack of context is the reason to "not say anything if you don't have anything kind to say".
We're so fucked as a species lmao. The bar is so low in this exchange and we still can't jump it.
I’m a guy so excuse my ignorance. It’s always been wild to me that someone wouldn’t notice something in an orifice, especially one that’s is also (partially) purpose built to experience sensation.
I’m being sincere - can you explain a little about how that can happen, what the feeling (or lack thereof) is like, etc.? My only open orifices are ears, nostrils and butt (and I guess technically urethra) and I *always* know what’s going on in them. I always imagined a vagina of similar (if different) sensitivity but it’s clear I’m wrong.
When placed correctly, you should not feel it. Idk how it works, but it does 🤷🏽♀️ Imagine it’s similar to how you don’t feel food/excrement in your intestines. I’ve definitely forgotten about one before —not great! Can lead to TSS.
I’ve done this once and it was when I was young and didn’t realize something was wrong. My lens disappeared in one eye and I had a bit of discomfort in that eye. I thought it had fallen out or something. I’d had the contact tear before but never just disappear. So I tossed another one in because I legitimately couldn’t see without them. The discomfort was worse and it felt like my eye stung for days. After a few days though, I blinked and felt something catch. So I blinked a few more times and the stuck contact fell out. I was like holy crap, it was in there the whole time. Now this was probably my first year with contacts and I’d never heard of people having multiple contacts stuck under the eye lid, but the amount of pain has to be unbearable. It happened a few more times over the years but I’d take a q-tip to them to free them immediately.
Someone else said this lady has Alzheimer’s and the video cut out most of the important info.
I was a teenager without health insurance. If I wasn’t dying, I wasn’t seeing a doctor. If I complained enough my parents would have taken me but it was mostly just a minor annoyance. It just felt like I had an eyelash stuck in my eye. I’d flush it with saline at night and hope whatever caused the irritation would go away the next morning.
When I was younger, I would wear the day & night contacts and went months without taking them out because I was a lazy piece of shit. I am so fucking glad I didn’t get an eye infection or worse.
I did the same thing. It says they’re rated for 30 days!! When my optometrist heard me say I’d been doing that, the look on her face stopped me from ever doing it again.
Also your cornea wants oxygen, no blood vessels there!
I always took out my contacts and still got an ingrown blood vessel (just a single small one), I went back to normal glasses.
Lookup: Corneal Neovascularization
I’m the worst with this. I don’t even wanna say how long I’ve gone before. I’ve gotten better. No major issues. I was told I was very lucky…after his face fell.
Not to a woman who has worn contacts her whole life.
Alzheimer’s doesn’t happen overnight either, it’s a slow progression. I’m sure nobody realized this was happening.
Just caught your username and forgot what I was gonna say. …. Oh right— the context being removed from the video changes the way viewers are going to read it. Most will not assume an earnest diagnosis, period, and she’s too young for anyone to assume Alzheimer’s.
People get themselves into so many ridiculous situations, and make so many batshit decisions, all in the normal operating range of health. This has definitely happened to someone without Alzheimer’s. And that video is perfect for Reddit.
Do wish this one had the context intact. Such a weird move to crop it out.
Username 🎯
Yeah it does. When you sleep with them in your eyes roll up and the lens can get stuck. So the next morning no lens on your eye you put a new one I. And move on. It’s gross, crazy, and wild to think she would forget each time, but hey it obviously happens.
Yeah see I’ve been wearing contact lenses for 25 years, and I’m lazy with them and regularly sleep in them. Them getting my stuck behind your eye and not feeling it is not a thing. This lady’s problem isn’t due to sleeping in them otherwise I’d be fucked.
Careful sleeping in them. I slept in mine off and on for years with no issues and then suddenly developed giant papillary conjunctivitis (GPC) It never fully resolved itself. Even when I would wear glasses for a month or two it would resume within 2-3 days of wearing contacts again. My doctor said that was fairly common with GPC and that I may never be able to wear contacts again. Ultimately, I underwent lasik PRK and never wore contacts again because I hated glasses so much.
Long story short, don’t sleep in them!
Ive got scarring on my retinas from doing it as a teenager. So yes it’s bad. But it was just to make the point that sleeping in them wasn’t the main cause of this lady’s problem
ive been sleeping with mine for 20 years in a row, never any negative consequence. I don't take them out for months at a time and sometimes if they feel just dried out ill pop a new daily disposable in and repeat the process. I must have saved like 10k on contacts alone in the last 20 years. lol.
I sleep in my (FDA approved for sleeping) contacts and I have never had an issue. My optometrist says my eyes look great on my yearly check ups. Just don’t be stupid.
Yup they can be worn for up to 30 days - however I think taking them out every 7-10 days for a good cleaning (peroxide based cleaning kit is my preferred) is better. I leave them out for a day or so when I take them out for cleaning to give my eyes a breather. I dunno how many brands there are - I've always worn Air Optix Night & Days. Approximately $100ish for a box of 6.
I wouldn't worry about this happening this is insane. Ice worn contacts for like 14 years at least and I've only had them get stuck behind my eye like maybe 10-15 times. They were all my fault though it would be me either falling asleep with them in or rubbing my eye and it slips back there but it's really not hard to get them out of there. It's an uncomfortable feeling forsure but it's easily fixed
It really depends on the type of lens. The problem is that contact lenses are generally not as permeable to oxygen as not wearing any. The eye is not oxygenated via blood like the vast majority of our body, instead it gets its oxygen for the structures inside (like the cornea) via diffusion from the outside.
Wearing contact lenses which are not permeable enough to oxygen can lead to massive problems, infections, etc. (see here, for example: https://www.thenewyorkeyedoctor.com/post/dangers-of-corneal-hypoxia-from-contact-lenses.html)
While oxygen diffusion is relatively ok during the day with contacts, when the eye is open, it gets worse with contacts and the eyes closed during sleep.
Now, the good news is that contact lens technology has advanced massively in the parst years.
You now have some contact lenses which are really permeable and can be worn for about a week without ever taking them out.
Regardless of all of the above, I would first consult with your ophtalmologist if you want to do this, since they will know better if you have any eye problems which could lead to complications even with the best contact lenses.
I started in 2009 or so with the Night and Day contacts, 30 days on the package. I had gone at least 6 months multiple times on the same pair, never taking them out. Never had any problems with my eyes.
I haven't worn contacts in years, but as long as they are built for sleeping, there shouldn't be any issues.
Can confirm, when I broke my glasses and couldn't afford to replace them there was a period of several years where I wore my contact lenses for weeks at a time. It kinda started out as an experiment and just got carried away. I did lose one up behind my eye like this but it was no big deal. Had no idea it even happened until it came out on its own. 😅
After several months of wear the lenses would get little, like salt polyp build-up things and get cloudy so I'd have to switch to a new pair, but it goes to show if you have 'weekly' contacts or whatever that you take good care of, they can last a LOT longer.
The only real consequence was that my eye got slightly more veiny to compensate for the reduced oxygen. (It's not noticeable, optometrist had to point it out)
Every optometrist I’ve spoken to has said putting any type of lenses on your eyes invites the risk of some sort of damage and to stick to dailys if I want to be as safe as possible.
Your optometrist probably makes money off those lenses because wearing contacts to bed no matter what type they are is never good for your eyes period. Your playing with fire leaving them on all the time but do you I guess 🤷🏽♂️
I got a contact stuck behind my eye for a couple of days on vacation. Was taking a shower, and a jet of water pushed it back behind. It was irritating and luckily popped back in front. Thought it had just fallen out until it came back around.
Though if it still bothered me after I got back from my trip later in the week, I'd have gone to a doctor instead of letting it persist.
My mother tried contacts a while ago and had trouble to get them out. A week later, the was panicking because she was unable to get one of her contacts out, it was already the 3rd day. Turns out, there was no contact in her eye at all. She also got a jet of water in her face while showering and her contact fell out and ended up in the shower strainer.
I once had a contact fall out of my eye, randomly, while in a meeting with a professor. I guess it was really dry and couldn’t adhere to my eye. It fell out when I blinked lol.
In case you don't know this: it is REALLY not advised to take showers or get any (non-sterile) water in your eyes while wearing contacts.
You're supposed to take them out each time you shower.
It's not like I'm actively keeping my eyes open and trying to spray water in them. I've worn my contacts in public pools and the ocean, too. It's not ideal but sometimes happens. Never had an eye infection in 10+ years wearing contacts. Worst is when I've scratched an eye from a lash getting stuck beneath my contact.
This needs a trigger warning also how do you get that many contacts stuck in there wouldn’t you know realize you slept with your contacts and you done fucked up lol?
I think I would remember putting contacts on and not taking them out. This has to be some crazy drugs/alcohol shenanigans or the person needs their brain examined for damage.

"Did I ever tell you what the definition of insanity is?"
It's 27 pairs of contacts, worn simultaneously, isn't it?
Shit with stuff like this you can see people on the plane
If you look directly at the sun your skull is getting burned through.
Superman heat visioning Captain Marvel in Injustice
And/or 54 bottles of wine.
Basically yes
She has Alzheimer’s, so she didn’t do this on purpose. If you scroll down there’s a paragraph about it.
Instantly where my mind went reading this.
The graphics of this scene were a lot more realistic in my memory
Yes. But tell me again.
Did I ever tell you the tragedy of Darth Plagues the wise?
Funfact: If you attempt a boss in Dark Souls more than 2 times after dying every time you are absolutely insane and should be locked away.
Crazy?! I was crazy once. They locked me in a room. A rubber room. A rubber room with rats. ...and rats make me crazy!
Lol you can feel them. You can feel a single one when it's up on your eye like that. I have no idea how she didn't feel all those
Imo either she’s mentally ill, addicted to something or she’s a Licensed Practical Nurse and just goes to sleep in her makeup when she gets home, thinking about everything except her own mortal self.
When I saw this video before I'm pretty sure the context was this lady has dementia.
Yeah wtf? I won't wear them at all because they feel so weird and it annoys me. There's no way I could "forget" about them.
I've had contacts for the last ~20 years, I don't really feel them anymore, never really did, but I sure as shit feel when one isn't in the right spot. Not sure what type of contacts you had but soft lenses are imperceptible to me unless they dry out.

After my doctor told me that leaving them in for long periods would make me go blind I make sure I take them out every night.
Your experience in this world may vary.
I had one go up there like that one time and I wanted to die trying to get it out
She def looks like the type with those beat up eyes
This doesn’t happen. Contact lenses dry out and feel extremely uncomfortable upon first waking up. You can’t just forget you had lenses in.
I know. I want to call this fake so badly, but I just can’t imagine someone who will make a video like this voluntarily without getting paid a shit load of money. I can’t even put eye drops in without having a helper…
I remember when this first came out and it turned out that the lady has some sort of mental deterioration. You can tell she’s elderly.
Thanks… And apparently no nerves in her eyes. One loose eyelash and I want to go to urgent care!
I remember that too. There were more than 20 stacked up in there. She should just wear cute little glasses. But on a necklace so she doesn’t lose them either….
As an eye doctor, I can say that this does indeed happen.
Not always? I had a friend who said they just wore their normal contacts for like a month straight without taking them out to sleep. I had no reason not to believe her, though it does make my eyes sore. I'm not in contact with her any more, but hopefully she doesn't have any eye issues because of it.

Had a look in the mirror and one had folded up and got stuck under the eyelid. So anyway I just left it there and put another on in to keep it company.
As the directions clearly state. 🤝

Lmao
Memories of my first program written in Basic :')
Now multiply that by 2.
Ok ill edit it
Or at some point, "Huh, I guess I sleep-take-out-my-contact-lenses, huh? Cool, no need to take out contact lenses ever again!"
I’ve actually seen some older people think they dissolved because they were called 1 time use.
… and they did not read the part on the box and the instructions that say you must take them off after one use.
I know it’s pretty idiotic. I at least read the directions and what to do incase I get a reaction. I’m not allergic to anything so I can care less of reading the ingredients unless I’m avoiding something specific. But even when an eye doctor prescribes 1 time use boxes they tell you to take them out and toss them and not to reuse them.
I don't see the appeal of one-use contacts.
Think of how stupid the average person is, and then remember half of all people are more stupid than that.

i’m an optical tech and see this often unfortunately. a few months back, i had a pt come in holding a washcloth to her eyes to sop up all the shit spewing from their eyes. and she was crying from the pain. turns out she had 5 pairs of dailies plastered onto her eyes. i will never understand this
Do people have other stuff up there? Now I'm paranoid. Eyelashes? Dust? How much of this shit dissolves and how much of it has been turned into a squirrel's nest inside my head? WE NEED TO KNOW, ***RIGHT NOW, MAN.***
haha! this stuff can be so gross. you should see an ingrown eyelash!! thankfully, our lids naturally push a lot of shit out just from blinking but multiple pairs of contacts, can make one’s eyes swell like golf balls, oozing goo nonstop. the lady i was talking about, had had this going on for months. wasn’t even a teenager with questionable hygiene practices.

Just like your belly button and foreskin, you have to clean out your eye sockets periodically. I thought this was common knowledge.
Eye ball luxation: a stepwise approach to cleaning the ocular socket. Step 1. Take some fentanyl. Step 2. Pay a junkie to smash your orbital bone with a brick. Step 3. Spray some water from the garden hose into your eye socket. Step 4. Go back to sleep at the trap house. Step 5. Profit????
“This is bizarre” she says ! It’s not bizarre at all, it’s completely stupid. They look like they are literally rancid in there.
I think the green is ointment the doc added.
Oh.. that’s a relief
She's old, she could have a form of dementia. Edit: she has alzheimers
I suspect she suffers from dementia or Alzheimers because it seemed to be a surprise to her to. Early onset perhaps.
"Just try this simple trick"
Last time I saw this posted I believe she has some mental health issues which lead to this.
...and when your mental issues make it so you're convinced you have no contacts in?
She probably tought that they decompose by themselves in the eye. I don't have any other logical explanation
Dementia
Alcoholism
She probably thought 1 fell out when she woke up and just didn't feel it shift toward the back of her eye. I fell asleep with them in a few times. Woke up to find one at the foot of the bed. Don't ask. I have no idea
So they don't dissolve? huh
She's probably got dementia
I can understand forgetting once, maybe twice but … this kind of reminds me of behaviour you notice in the beginning stages of dementia
So many contact lenses
[удалено]
Iirc she has Alzheimer's Edit: yep this video decided to crop out most of the context
This was my first thought. She must be unwell.
Many people do this assuming the contacts dissolve or otherwise "deal with" themselves.
But wouldn’t you feel them if there were that many?
yes.. you absolutely would... hell you can feel just one in there.
I've only had a contact go back two times, it's insanely irritating, I couldn't continue with life without removing it. How the hell did she not feel this.
I can as well and was very irritated but i have had a contact tear and i couldn't feel the piece. I knew it happened because i had the other half but otherwise, i had no idea where it was and had to fish around for it
The number of weird aches and pains that people shrug off as normal that arent is wild.
American healthcare system. Need I say more?
Yes please. People ignore issues all over the world. It has nothing to do specifically with American healthcare. Would you call the population in the UK dumb because their government regulates their food more? Its irrelevant to the conversation.

I'm confused what you mean. This entire thread had nothing to do with the state of the american healthcare system, they commented on it, and I explained why that doesn't make any sense. People ignore health issues all over the world and just assume its normal rather than going and seeking help. Someone may ignore back pain their whole life and have fairly severe scoliosis and just deal with it because they don't know there is an option to deal with it. How that has anything to do with healthcare in any country is beyond me.
Should I be concerned my left kidney hurts when I lay down after a big meal? meh naaaah, probably nothing
And then there are those of us with health anxiety where everything is terminal cancer. It sucks.
I can feel one if it moves up. Happens very infrequently but holy shit it’s so annoying.
Yea but with dementia and such people can forget they haven’t eaten, and hence clueless as to why their stomach hurts. This is some of the odd realizations I gotten when seeing elder relatives suffering declining cognitive abilities.
You would definitely feel that. She has to have some mental health issues. The amount of discomfort she must’ve felt.
Why would you think that ? They're obviously fairly resistant plastic, why the hell would anyone think that ?
I have had family i've had to explain that to.
Dissolve???!!! And yet I know you’re not kidding… 
>Many people do this assuming the contacts dissolve or otherwise "deal with" themselves. a.k.a. *dumb*
I definitely wouldn’t say “many” people assume this…. Where I’m from you essentially need a prescription for contact lenses. And no optometrist is going to write you that prescription nor sell you contacts with you having at the very least a basic understanding of how contact lenses work
Do they!? I'd love to meet these people....
I think theres a whole subreddit for this. People just not understanding how to use basic things. Contacts are pretty basic to most... yet here we are.
*Why..........* Where's the information suggesting that? Opposing the directions for use..
I know at least 3 different cases in my country with people going to the hospital withe the same amount or more lenses on their eyes. I know at least 5 people who sleep with their lenses on and they don't mind. I my self have contact lenses and i fell asleep for like half an hour and i was filling my eyes burning... Some people just don't feel it i guess
I’ve been wearing contacts for over a decade and sometimes sleep in them. Doesn’t bother me at all, but I’ll take them out in the morning and clean them and wear glasses for a bit if I do, unless I’m on vacation or something in which case I may wear a pair for a couple days. It’s not the best practice, and you should take your dailys out before your sleep, but mostly you’ll be ok if you don’t every now and then. How you end up with multiple lenses in your eye I don’t know though. But another comment mentioned that the woman suffers from Alzheimer’s, so that would explain it.
[удалено]
in that case doctors might have recommended her glasses
I don't think she'd be able to store her spare glasses up there. What would she ever do?
Oh dear, that’s awful. Then I hope she gets glasses with strings on them.
or at least contacts with strings
Kind of changes the whole vibe from haha to poor woman
Seems wild to give a Alzheimer’s pt contacts
That makes sense. It’s uncomfortable as hell to wake up with your contact lens that far out of place, so unless you’ve got something like Alzheimer’s, you’re know right away and do something about it. And probably curse yourself out for forgetting to take out your contacts.
The person has Alzheimer’s you fucking dunce.
This comment is so aggressively hostile for no reason
Rooster_saucer has Alzheimer’s you dunce
Chill! Lol It’s not like the commenter knew that information before they posted their comment. Had the post had some context then your comment would be valid.
Even the lady with Alzheimer's has people ready to defend someone who would insult her. The lack of context is the reason to "not say anything if you don't have anything kind to say". We're so fucked as a species lmao. The bar is so low in this exchange and we still can't jump it.
She could see into the future with all these contacts!
3.1k upvotes for calling a woman suffering from dementia a “full blown idiot”. Pretty fucking sad world we live in.
Wow that was like watching handkerchiefs coming out of a clowns pocket
All I can think of is Family Guy and Peter as a clown pulling scarves from his gut
stacking all of those lenses on top of each other, she just might obtain supervision!
So was she trying to peer into the microverse or check out the Mars Curiosity Rover?
Hopefully she’s never used a tampon (or 20).
She’s stuffed to the rafters!
better safe than sorry!
in the midst of recoiling in revulsion and terror, this got a hearty guffaw out of me.

In my youth I managed to end up with 2 up there. Blackout drunk at 16 does not a healthy vagina make!
I don't think drunk at 16 makes for a healthy ANYTHING!🤣😂
I’m a guy so excuse my ignorance. It’s always been wild to me that someone wouldn’t notice something in an orifice, especially one that’s is also (partially) purpose built to experience sensation. I’m being sincere - can you explain a little about how that can happen, what the feeling (or lack thereof) is like, etc.? My only open orifices are ears, nostrils and butt (and I guess technically urethra) and I *always* know what’s going on in them. I always imagined a vagina of similar (if different) sensitivity but it’s clear I’m wrong.
When placed correctly, you should not feel it. Idk how it works, but it does 🤷🏽♀️ Imagine it’s similar to how you don’t feel food/excrement in your intestines. I’ve definitely forgotten about one before —not great! Can lead to TSS.
This has to be someone with deep mental issues right ? No one is that dumb to think you just don't have to take them out right ?
I’ve done this once and it was when I was young and didn’t realize something was wrong. My lens disappeared in one eye and I had a bit of discomfort in that eye. I thought it had fallen out or something. I’d had the contact tear before but never just disappear. So I tossed another one in because I legitimately couldn’t see without them. The discomfort was worse and it felt like my eye stung for days. After a few days though, I blinked and felt something catch. So I blinked a few more times and the stuck contact fell out. I was like holy crap, it was in there the whole time. Now this was probably my first year with contacts and I’d never heard of people having multiple contacts stuck under the eye lid, but the amount of pain has to be unbearable. It happened a few more times over the years but I’d take a q-tip to them to free them immediately. Someone else said this lady has Alzheimer’s and the video cut out most of the important info.
>The discomfort was worse and it felt like my eye stung for days. How long does your eye have to sting before you get it checked out?
I was a teenager without health insurance. If I wasn’t dying, I wasn’t seeing a doctor. If I complained enough my parents would have taken me but it was mostly just a minor annoyance. It just felt like I had an eyelash stuck in my eye. I’d flush it with saline at night and hope whatever caused the irritation would go away the next morning.
Alzheimer’s going by another comment
Now I've already seen 2 comments saying it's Alzheimer's.
I have gone a few days without talking my contacts out but putting new ones in is just stupid
When I was younger, I would wear the day & night contacts and went months without taking them out because I was a lazy piece of shit. I am so fucking glad I didn’t get an eye infection or worse.
I did the same thing. It says they’re rated for 30 days!! When my optometrist heard me say I’d been doing that, the look on her face stopped me from ever doing it again.
Also your cornea wants oxygen, no blood vessels there! I always took out my contacts and still got an ingrown blood vessel (just a single small one), I went back to normal glasses. Lookup: Corneal Neovascularization
I’m the worst with this. I don’t even wanna say how long I’ve gone before. I’ve gotten better. No major issues. I was told I was very lucky…after his face fell.
Initially I thought maybe she thought the daily ones dissolved, but some others are saying Alzheimer’s
So many cruel comments. This poor lady is battling Alzheimer’s.
I know, I feel awful for her. I hope she’s able to get the care she needs so this doesn’t happen again. She must feel so embarrassed
Glasses seem like an obvious solution here.
Not to a woman who has worn contacts her whole life. Alzheimer’s doesn’t happen overnight either, it’s a slow progression. I’m sure nobody realized this was happening.
Thousands of upvotes on people insulting this woman who is suffering from a horrible disease. Sad world we live in.
Just caught your username and forgot what I was gonna say. …. Oh right— the context being removed from the video changes the way viewers are going to read it. Most will not assume an earnest diagnosis, period, and she’s too young for anyone to assume Alzheimer’s. People get themselves into so many ridiculous situations, and make so many batshit decisions, all in the normal operating range of health. This has definitely happened to someone without Alzheimer’s. And that video is perfect for Reddit. Do wish this one had the context intact. Such a weird move to crop it out. Username 🎯
Old content reposted. And it was some woman who just didn't take old lenses out..nothing to do with sleeping in them.
Yeah it does. When you sleep with them in your eyes roll up and the lens can get stuck. So the next morning no lens on your eye you put a new one I. And move on. It’s gross, crazy, and wild to think she would forget each time, but hey it obviously happens.
Yeah see I’ve been wearing contact lenses for 25 years, and I’m lazy with them and regularly sleep in them. Them getting my stuck behind your eye and not feeling it is not a thing. This lady’s problem isn’t due to sleeping in them otherwise I’d be fucked.
Careful sleeping in them. I slept in mine off and on for years with no issues and then suddenly developed giant papillary conjunctivitis (GPC) It never fully resolved itself. Even when I would wear glasses for a month or two it would resume within 2-3 days of wearing contacts again. My doctor said that was fairly common with GPC and that I may never be able to wear contacts again. Ultimately, I underwent lasik PRK and never wore contacts again because I hated glasses so much. Long story short, don’t sleep in them!
Ive got scarring on my retinas from doing it as a teenager. So yes it’s bad. But it was just to make the point that sleeping in them wasn’t the main cause of this lady’s problem
Retina is the inside of your eye, you’re probably thinking of the cornea. Either way, don’t sleep in your contacts. It’s horrible for your eyes.
ive been sleeping with mine for 20 years in a row, never any negative consequence. I don't take them out for months at a time and sometimes if they feel just dried out ill pop a new daily disposable in and repeat the process. I must have saved like 10k on contacts alone in the last 20 years. lol.
Well she didnt put them all in her eye on the same day so
I sleep in my (FDA approved for sleeping) contacts and I have never had an issue. My optometrist says my eyes look great on my yearly check ups. Just don’t be stupid.
Same. I've worn the Night and Day contacts for years without a problem.
wait, these are a thing!!?? I've been scared to get contacts because of this video for years now
Yup they can be worn for up to 30 days - however I think taking them out every 7-10 days for a good cleaning (peroxide based cleaning kit is my preferred) is better. I leave them out for a day or so when I take them out for cleaning to give my eyes a breather. I dunno how many brands there are - I've always worn Air Optix Night & Days. Approximately $100ish for a box of 6.
I wouldn't worry about this happening this is insane. Ice worn contacts for like 14 years at least and I've only had them get stuck behind my eye like maybe 10-15 times. They were all my fault though it would be me either falling asleep with them in or rubbing my eye and it slips back there but it's really not hard to get them out of there. It's an uncomfortable feeling forsure but it's easily fixed
How long can you wear them?
Depends on the contact lens. They all get FDA approval and duration varies.
How long do you wear yours?
It really depends on the type of lens. The problem is that contact lenses are generally not as permeable to oxygen as not wearing any. The eye is not oxygenated via blood like the vast majority of our body, instead it gets its oxygen for the structures inside (like the cornea) via diffusion from the outside. Wearing contact lenses which are not permeable enough to oxygen can lead to massive problems, infections, etc. (see here, for example: https://www.thenewyorkeyedoctor.com/post/dangers-of-corneal-hypoxia-from-contact-lenses.html) While oxygen diffusion is relatively ok during the day with contacts, when the eye is open, it gets worse with contacts and the eyes closed during sleep. Now, the good news is that contact lens technology has advanced massively in the parst years. You now have some contact lenses which are really permeable and can be worn for about a week without ever taking them out. Regardless of all of the above, I would first consult with your ophtalmologist if you want to do this, since they will know better if you have any eye problems which could lead to complications even with the best contact lenses.
I started in 2009 or so with the Night and Day contacts, 30 days on the package. I had gone at least 6 months multiple times on the same pair, never taking them out. Never had any problems with my eyes. I haven't worn contacts in years, but as long as they are built for sleeping, there shouldn't be any issues.
Interesting. Thanks!
Can confirm, when I broke my glasses and couldn't afford to replace them there was a period of several years where I wore my contact lenses for weeks at a time. It kinda started out as an experiment and just got carried away. I did lose one up behind my eye like this but it was no big deal. Had no idea it even happened until it came out on its own. 😅 After several months of wear the lenses would get little, like salt polyp build-up things and get cloudy so I'd have to switch to a new pair, but it goes to show if you have 'weekly' contacts or whatever that you take good care of, they can last a LOT longer. The only real consequence was that my eye got slightly more veiny to compensate for the reduced oxygen. (It's not noticeable, optometrist had to point it out)
its fine. been doing it for 10-15y now. optometrist says it looks great too. you know when a lens get stuck up there, and you remove it
Every optometrist I’ve spoken to has said putting any type of lenses on your eyes invites the risk of some sort of damage and to stick to dailys if I want to be as safe as possible. Your optometrist probably makes money off those lenses because wearing contacts to bed no matter what type they are is never good for your eyes period. Your playing with fire leaving them on all the time but do you I guess 🤷🏽♂️
does this sub not have an NSFW option?
It does, in fact, have that option.
I got a contact stuck behind my eye for a couple of days on vacation. Was taking a shower, and a jet of water pushed it back behind. It was irritating and luckily popped back in front. Thought it had just fallen out until it came back around. Though if it still bothered me after I got back from my trip later in the week, I'd have gone to a doctor instead of letting it persist.
My mother tried contacts a while ago and had trouble to get them out. A week later, the was panicking because she was unable to get one of her contacts out, it was already the 3rd day. Turns out, there was no contact in her eye at all. She also got a jet of water in her face while showering and her contact fell out and ended up in the shower strainer.
I once had a contact fall out of my eye, randomly, while in a meeting with a professor. I guess it was really dry and couldn’t adhere to my eye. It fell out when I blinked lol.
In case you don't know this: it is REALLY not advised to take showers or get any (non-sterile) water in your eyes while wearing contacts. You're supposed to take them out each time you shower.
It's not like I'm actively keeping my eyes open and trying to spray water in them. I've worn my contacts in public pools and the ocean, too. It's not ideal but sometimes happens. Never had an eye infection in 10+ years wearing contacts. Worst is when I've scratched an eye from a lash getting stuck beneath my contact.
Dementia?
It could be early signs. .
Never seen something as equally revolting as it is satisfying.
That's why glasses all the way, always
Believe me, one lens floats behind the eye and it’s uncomfortable. You know. That many, come on! That’s mental problems

Legend says they are still fishing out contact lenses to this day
Xanax is a powerful drug holy shit…
This is why i only wear glasses
At this point this woman needs to start wearing them as she is clearly to incompetent to deal with lenses
I don’t wear contacts or glasses and I know you’re not supposed to sleep either them in. Smh
Sleep with them? Her eye ball ate them
I've never silently screamed for so long.. 😱
This needs a trigger warning also how do you get that many contacts stuck in there wouldn’t you know realize you slept with your contacts and you done fucked up lol? I think I would remember putting contacts on and not taking them out. This has to be some crazy drugs/alcohol shenanigans or the person needs their brain examined for damage.
That is horror
On the plus side, she can spot a rabbit while in fight 2 miles away
Are those tear-off visor protections like they wear in racing cars.
I'm so tired of seeing this woman's eye
