Footballer left blind in his right eye after parasite burrowed into his cornea
Nick Humphreys, 29, from the English city of Shrewsbury went blind in one eye as he did not remove contact lenses during a shower, Daily Mail reported.
In January 2018, he noticed a painful scratch on his eye which he managed with eye drops while opticians tested for an infection.
“The results came back positive for Acanthamoeba keratitis, an infection from a small organism found in water that is able to get into the eye through a small cut - often caused by contact lenses,” the source noted.
Nick underwent two surgeries, including transplantation of the amniotic membrane, and now he is waiting for a cornea transplant.
“I've lost 18 months of my life because of something as simple as showering with contacts in,” he said.
