Lillie Barrett, 22, from Welling, South East London began to experience an itchy left eye after getting a set of £55 Russian lashes fitted while wearing her contact lenses in November 2022.
A receptionist claims she was blinded for months after getting lashes fitted while still wearing her contact lenses.
Horrifying footage shows Lillie's cornea turning a hazy grey as she claims she was left blind in this eye and not able to see in 3D out of the other, and was later told she had developed a corneal ulcer. According to the NHS, a corneal ulcer is an open sore in the outer layer of the cornea that occurs when the surface is damaged and is said to be more common in contact lens wearers.
'I went to a chemist the next day and they said it looked like it was conjunctivitis and gave me some eye drops and I began to use them.Pictured above is the ghastly eye infection: a corneal ulcer which is thought to have been brought on by Lillie's contact lenses 'At the hospital, they told me it was an ulcer on my cornea but they couldn't tell me the exact reason it happened.
Although she's not back to full eye health, Lillie is miles better, but still an avid contact lens wearer and has made the switch to daily lenses and recommends others do this too Corneal ulcer symptoms include: Eye discharge, red eye, blurred vision, sensitivity to light, eye pain or discomfort, grey or white spot on the cornea or a feeling of something in the eye.Advertisement She claims her eye remained discoloured for six months and says her vision gradually started to return.
