Lesson learned? [source: http://www.ananova.com/news/story/sm_2179348.html] A Chinese man had to have his contact lenses surgically removed after he did not take them out for a year. Liu, 40, started to wear contact lenses a year ago and never took them out because he found it difficult. "I only have some eye drops for when they feel uncomfortable," he told Chutian City News. Liu recently felt his eyesight was getting worse, so he bought another pair of lenses and wore them on top of the old ones. But when his eyesight still didn't improve, he took another startling decision. "I put a pair of used disposal contact lenses over the other two pairs in my eyes. By then, I was wearing three pairs of lenses," he said. By the next day, Liu's eyes had reacted badly to his DIY eyecare and he finally sought medical attention. A doctor was shocked to find the first lenses had grown into his eyes and surgery was needed to take them out.
Can I yoink that and post it on a livejournal community called mock_the_stupid? Because that's pretty darn stupid.
But the Darwin awards are awarded to people who remove themselves from the genepool, what this guy did was plain stupid.
Even though I would agree that it is a stupid thing to do... one has to admit it really sounds too painful to laugh at..
wait...so the first pair literally grew INTO his eyes?...man...this guy give such a bad image to chinese people everywhere... =.="
LOL this is quite dumb of him. Probably got an infection too for wearing it for a year??!!! What kind of man is he!!!
It's been brought to my attention that the source is a tabloid so perhaps not reputable.... but still highly entertaining.
