她去做個簡單的白內障手術，醫生卻發現她眼裡有27個隱形眼鏡

In a bizarre medical case, a British woman somehow had more than two dozen contact lenses in one eye but didn』t realize it.

在一宗奇怪的醫療病例中,一個英國婦女不知何故有超過二十幾個隱形眼鏡在一隻眼睛裡,而她卻一點都沒意識到。

The case, which was published July 5 in the British Medical Journal, has made international headlines after the ophthalmologist responsible for extracting the stack of contacts spoke to the media recently.

該病例在7月5日發表在【英國醫學雜誌】上，自從負責把這一堆隱形眼鏡取出來的眼科醫生最近就此事像媒體透露後，這個病案已成為國際頭條新聞。

According to the BMJ, the case itself occurred back in November, when a 67-year-old woman went to the doctor for a 「routine」 eye surgery, Rupal Morjaria wrote.

據【英國醫學雜誌】說,這個病案發生在去年11月，當一個67歲的婦女到醫生那裡去做一個"例行"眼科手術時發生的。Rupal Morjaria寫道.

When the surgery began, however, Morjaria and her fellow doctors extracted a 「blue mass」 of 17 contacts, all stuck together, according to Optometry Today. Later, the doctors found another chunk of 10 contacts, bringing the total to 27 contacts in one eye.

「None of us have ever seen this before,」 Morjaria told OT.

當手術開始時,Morjaria和她其他幾個醫生取出了一個由17個隱形眼鏡形成的」藍色物體」，這些隱形眼鏡全粘到了一起。 根據【今日視光學】說。後來,醫生髮現另一個由10個隱形眼鏡組成的大坨。兩個加起來總共是27個隱形眼鏡在一隻眼睛裡。Morjaria告訴【今日視光學】:"我們從來沒有見過這種情況。

「It was such a large mass. All the 17 contact lenses were stuck together. We were really surprised that the patient didn』t notice it because it would cause quite a lot of irritation while it was sitting there.」

「這是很大的一塊。所有的17個隱形眼鏡都粘在一起了。我們真的很驚訝,病人沒有注意到,因為它在眼睛裡面，會引起相當多的刺激。」

According to OT, the patient had been wearing monthly disposable contacts for 35 years but did not regularly go to the eye doctor and had no idea that many contacts were in her eye. Morjaria said the patient had credited her discomfort to old age and dry eyes.

根據【今日視光學】的說法,這個病人戴月拋型隱形眼鏡已經35年了,但她沒有定期去看眼科醫生。她一點都沒有意識到她的眼睛裡有很多隱形眼鏡。Morjaria說,病人已經把她眼睛不適掛在年老和眼睛發乾的原因上了。

「She was quite shocked,」 Morjaria said. 「When she was seen two weeks after I removed the lenses she said her eyes felt a lot more comfortable.」

"她很震驚,"Morjaria說。」當她在我摘除了那些隱形眼鏡兩周後看到她時，她說她的眼睛感覺舒服多了。「

It is unclear how long the woman had been living with the contacts in her eye. According to Piedmont Healthcare, the FDA recommends that even long-term wear contacts be removed overnight at least once per week to be cleaned and to allow the eye to take in oxygen. Wearing contacts too long can cause corneal damage.

目前還不清楚這位婦女的眼睛裡戴有這麼多隱形眼鏡的情況下生活了多久。根據Piedmont醫療保健，聯邦醫藥管理局建議，即使是為長期佩戴設計的隱形眼鏡也每周需要至少一次清潔，同時讓眼睛呼吸氧氣。佩戴隱形眼鏡時間過長，會導致角膜損傷。
