Mother of two loses her sight after fungus eats away eyeball
A mother lost her left eye after suffering a rare infection she believes was caused by her contact lens.
Jacqui Stone endured 22 operations and more than 17 weeks in hospital after
wearing a disposable lens from a popular brand.
The maths teaching assistant bought the Focus Dailies All-Day Comfort Lenses from a UK website last May to help her see the whiteboard better in the classroom. The mother of two, who has worn contact lenses ‘on and off’ for 20 years, said everything seemed normal when she put the lenses in.
Doctors had to remove her eye because of fears the rare but aggressive fungal infection would penetrate her optic nerve and enter her brain.
