Ophthalmologist Katerina Kurteeva, who practices in Newport Beach, California, shared with her Instagram followers a troubling video, Oddity Central reported.

Dr. Kurteeva documented the removal of "forgotten" contact lenses from an elderly patient's eye -- 23 of them, to be exact.

Some of them were so old they had turned green.

"They were essentially glued together after sitting under the eyelid for a month," she wrote. "Don't sleep in your contact lenses!" she warned. [Oddity Central, 10/12/2022]
