Woman had 23 contact lenses stuck under her eyelid
美国一女子眼睑下卡有23片隐形眼镜
A woman who felt like there was “something in her eye” actually had 23 daily disposable contact lenses stuck deep underneath her eyelid, her ophthalmologist, Dr. Katerina Kurteeva, reported.
据眼科医生凯特琳娜?库尔提娃博士的报告，她的一位女性患者称感觉“眼睛里有东西”，实际上有23片日抛型隐形眼镜深陷在她的眼睑下。
“I was just amazed myself. I was like, this is kind of crazy. I’ve never seen this before,” Kurteeva said.
库尔提娃表示，“我当时自己也很惊讶。这太疯狂了！以前从未见过这种情况。”
The patient, who is in her 70s, has been wearing contact lenses for 30 years.
这位70多岁的病人已经戴了30年的隐形眼镜。
“It was literally like a deck of cards,” Kurteeva recalled. “It formed a little chain link on her lid. Fortunately the woman didn’t have an infection — just mild irritation that was treated with anti-inflammatory drops — and is doing fine, Kurteeva said.
库尔提娃回忆称，“那简直就像一副扑克牌，在她眼睑下形成了一个小链环。” 幸运的是，这名妇女没有感染，只是轻微的刺激，用消炎药治疗后，现在一切正常。
This is actually not the most extreme case.
实际上这不是最极端的情况。
In 2017, British doctors found 27 contact lenses in a 67-year-old woman’s eye who thought dry eye and aging caused her irritation.
2017年，英国医生在一名67岁妇女的眼睛里发现了27枚隐形眼镜，她认为干眼症和衰老是导致她过敏的原因。
The patient told Kurteeva she had no idea how this happened, but the doctor had some theories.
库尔提娃的病人告诉她，她不知道这是怎么发生的，但医生有一些推测。
The woman probably thought she removed the lenses by sliding them off to the side, but actually didn’t take them out and they just kept hiding under the upper lid, she said.
她说，这名妇女可能认为她通过将镜片滑向一边来摘除镜片，但实际上并没有将其取出，而是一直藏在她的眼睑下面。
In an older patient, the fornix becomes very deep, which is related to aging changes of the eye and the face, and the way the orbit atrophies, leading to sunken eyes, Kurteeva said.
库尔提娃表示，在老年患者中，穹窿变得非常深，这与眼睛和面部的衰老变化有关，也与眼眶萎缩的方式有关，从而导致眼睛凹陷。
The contact lenses were tucked away so deep and so far away from the cornea, the most sensitive part of the eye, that the woman didn’t feel the clump — until it became very big.
隐形眼镜藏得很深，离角膜这个眼睛最敏感的部位很远，所以这位女士没感觉到结块——直到它变大。
People who wear contacts for decades lose some of their corneal sensitivity, so that might be another reason she didn’t feel the blob, she added.
戴隐形眼镜几十年的人会失去一些角膜敏感性，所以这可能是她感觉不到隐形眼镜的另一个原因。
