A strange case has come to light from America in which a person has lost the sight of one eye after sleeping. The reason behind this is believed to be contact lenses. Now you must be wondering whether the lenses that help in seeing well can also take away the ability to see. According to a news published in The Mirror UK, Mike is a resident of Florida and one day when he woke up, he felt an infection in one of his eyes. In fact, Mike wanted to take a good nap during the job and when he woke up, he felt an infection in one eye.
When Mike heard that he had lost the sight of one eye, the ground disappeared from under his feet. Mike says that he often felt an infection in his eye. This happens when wearing lenses but he used to ignore it. This mistake of Mike has made him blind in one eye.
Mike’s eyes developed bacteria

Mike says that seeing with one eye is very strange. During the wound, Mike also felt a lot of pain and sometimes he would scream and get upset because of it. US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention
Disadvantages of sleeping with lenses
Dr. says that the cornea present in the eyes needs oxygen and sleeping with the lenses on does not get oxygen properly and can cause a lot of damage.
Sleeping with contact lenses can also cause ulcers in the eyes. In such a situation, do not sleep with the lenses on, even by mistake.
Sleeping with lenses on at night or even for a short time can also worsen the health of the eyes. Gradually, the light starts to dim.
