Doctor removes 23 contact lenses from eye of patient who ‘forgot to take them out for almost a month’

A doctor has shared a bizarre video of her removing 23 contact lenses from a patient’s eye.

Dr Katerina Kurteeva posted the clip on Instagram of her teasing the lenses from underneath a woman’s eyelid.

The video went viral and has now racked up more than a million views.

According to the ophthalmologist’s post, the patient put in a new set of lenses for 23 days in a row without ever taking the previous day’s out.

Posting the video on the California Eye Associates Instagram page, she wrote: “A rare occasion when someone ‘forgot’ to remove contact lenses at night and kept on putting a new one in every morning. 23 days in a row!!! I got to deliver the contact lens bunch yesterday in my clinic.”
