As reported in the British Medical Journal, the unnamed patient was unaware that the contact lenses were missing. Incredibly, the 2. She figured her dry eyes and periodic discomfort were just a product of old age. None of us have ever seen this before, noted surgeon Rupal Marjaria, who filed the BMJ report, in Optometry Today. It was such a large mass. All the 1. 7 contact lenses were stuck together. We were really surprised that the patient didnt notice it because it would cause quite a lot of irritation while it was sitting there. The Solihull Hospital surgical team decided to postpone the cataract surgery due to the increased risk of endophthalmitisinflammation of the inner eye. This condition can lead to vision loss and even loss of the eye itself, and is a rare complication of cataract surgeries. The surgeons were concerned that a build up of bacteria in the clump might trigger it. The patient had been using monthly disposable contact lenses for about 3. Whats more, she didnt mention any symptoms during her pre operative assessment. Marjaria thought it important to write a case report about the incident, showing that its possible for a person to retain lots of contact lenses without experiencing too much discomfort. She was quite shocked, Marjaria told Optometry. Today. When she was seen two weeks after I removed the lenses she said her eyes felt a lot more comfortable. She thought her previous discomfort was just part of old age and dry eye. This case is obviously extreme most people experience significant discomfort and redness, as well as an increased risk for infections, when contacts get stuck in their eyes. Its not immediately obvious why this patient was so asymptomatic, but it may have had something to do with her deep set eyes, according to the BMJ report. Wearers of contact lenses know how frustrating and unsettling it can be to displace a lens. Heres how you get a contact lens out from the top of your eye, according to the American Academy of Ophthalmology The first step is to be sure the contact lens is still on the eye. The contact lens can fall out of the eye and it may be assumed that it has merely moved under the eyelid. It is important to note also that the contact lens can only go as far as the crease in the conjunctiva under the upper eyelids and it cannot go behind your eye. To remove the lens you should first wash your hand carefully and relax the eyelid and see if you can feel the lens through the eyelid. It may help to apply some sterile saline or artificial tears to help float the contact lens out from under the eyelid. If a corner of the lens can be visualized in a mirror you can use a finger to slide it back down over the cornea where it can be removed normally. If the lens is suspected to be under the upper eyelid, it may also help to bring the lens in to view by looking downward as far as possible. Another technique is to gently massage through the eyelid down towards the cornea or you can try to lift or flip the eyelid to make the lens visible. Lastly, if you cannot retrieve the lens or if the eye is bothersome, you should call and schedule an appointment to see your ophthalmologist as soon as possible. The last sentence is the critical one. If at any point you feel this is beyond your abilities, just go see your eye doctor. As this bizarre case study shows, dont just leave it in there. Update As an interesting update, we heard from Dr. Kevin D Hinshaw, an eye specialist in West County, PC, who says his record for one eye is five contact lenses. So this is actually a thing that happens, but 2. I would not say it is common, and 1. Typically people think that their contact has fallen out so they put another one in on top of the previous lens. Usually these folks have relatively small corrections so their vision is not terribly affected until the stack gets fairly tall, Hinshaw told Gizmodo. We commonly will use two contacts in pathological states such as keratoconus. In that case it is usually a gas permeable on top of a soft lens. Gas permeable and polymethylmethacrylate PMMA lenses are well known to become enveloped in tissue patient thinks it fell out only to appear as a lump in the eyelid a decade or two later. The lump is surgically opened and there is the contact lens. Often the lenses are still usableCorrection An earlier version of this post referred to endophthalmitis as a common complication of cataract surgery. As a Gizmodo reader pointed out, the condition is actually quite rare, affecting anywhere from one in 2,ooo to one in 1. British Medical Journal. East Carolina Sunk Its Own Ship. Welcome to the Deadspin 2. Leading up to the college football season kickoff, we will give you previews of the 2. Now, No. 1. 2 East Carolina. The best part of last years ECU football program, easily, was its ballsy marching band exposing the cry babies in GreenvilleI make that observation both as someone who agrees with what they did and as someone who was forced to begrudgingly watch more than a quarter of ECU football last fall. Given how things have gone so far in 2. I wont feel any better about the one quarter I watch this season. The 2. 01. 6 season marked the first Pirates campaign of the post Ruffin Mc. Neill era it neither provided any semblance of promise or any more solid reasoning as to why ECU decided to part ways with Mc. Neill in December 2. At least for those with a stake in the North Carolina college football scene, Mc. Neills firing was a shock. It baffled the press, the fans, and the schools greatest players. Here you had a program that was fresh off a fairly successful run under Skip Holtzthe Pirates averaged 7. After a bumpy first couple years of sub. Mc. Neill led the Pirates to 2. But then, after a 5 7 finish in 2. ECU postedMc. Neill was out. Just like that, the stable program that had seemingly found a sweet spot of eight win seasons was again searching for a coach, though it was hard to figure out just what the hell the Pirates administration wanted. At the time, the prevailing thought was that ECUbelieving it possessed the resources, recruiting foundation, and fanbase necessary to propel it to the top of the Group of Fivewould only dump Mc. Neill if it thought it could hook a big fish. Instead, the Pirates sought to play the Next Big Thing guessing game. The administration chose youth and possibility, snatching up the then 3. Scottie Montgomery, who left his post as Dukes offensive coordinator to take over the vacancy. Teamed quarterback guru head coach David Cutcliffe at Duke, Montgomery was the Blue Devils main play caller, becoming an integral part of the program getting its collective shit together and becoming a bowl team and ACC Coastal contender. A former Blue Devils receiver himself, Montgomery helped Jamison Crowder become the ACCs all time receptions leader and an NFL talent, and led the offense to its 4. Johnny Football and Texas A M. These were all great things Montgomery had a hand in accomplishing, and judging a coach on his first ever season as head coach is largely unfair. That being said, Im not sure he couldve had a worse welcoming seasonthe Pirates dropped to 3 9 by seasons end, the conclusion of an injury plagued campaign that left a gaping void in place of a defense and an offense that leaned all the way on its star receiver, so much so that the current iteration of the Pirates offense is actually thinking seriously about running the ball. Part of that desire to move away from a prolific passing attack comes from Montgomery being honest with himself about the available pieces he has to play with. Ever since Shane Carden graduated with his name stamped on the front of the ECU record book in 2. Pirates have turned to transfers and first year starters with no success. While were just one week into the season, this years crew doesnt appear to be turning things around. Although Gardner Minshew was named the starter during the preseason, he has since been usurped by transfer Thomas Sirk. After Minshew struggled against James Madison, he got yanked for Sirk, who filled in and went 2. Thats. a bad line, but it beats the 3. Minshew posted, so Sirk will now be the guy moving forward. Lining up behind him, Tennessee transfer Derrell Scott appears to be the teams starting running back considering he was able to lead the Pirates with 4. Hussein Howe, Devin Anderson, and Tyshon Dyeare presently reserves for a reason. Out wide, ECU lost the NCAAs all time receptions leader, Zay Jones, to the NFL this offseason, meaning it will need the remaining bunch to replace 1. The wideouts tasked with this are Jimmy Williams, Davon Grayson, and Deondre FarrierWilliams wont make up for the receptions, but hes an entertaining deep threat that, in an offense that will again be playing catchup, should hear his number called more often. The reason a home run hitter like Williams is so crucial to this offense is because, well, the defense is ass. Last season, seven of their 1. ECU finished last in Division I in both sacks and turnovers. This sparked Montgomery to issue a major overhaul, both in personnel and the basic defensive approach. In addition to a scheme change to a four man frontECU now runs out of a 4 2 5 baseMontgomery also went out and hired new defensive line and secondary coaches and snagged some big school transfers in hopes of fielding a unit that can at least keep it under 5. Nickelback Korrin Wiggins, a Clemson transfer, now starts at the same position for the Pirates corner Tim Irvin, an Auburn transfer, racked up eight tackles against James Madison and defensive lineman Gaelin Elmore, a Minnesota transfer, shores up one of the defensive end spots. Wiggins finished with five tackles while Elmore started but didnt post any tackles or sacks against the Dukes. Play Custom Houses Sims 3. While not a transfer, Tyree Owens, who joined the team after initially signing with West Virginia, is another defensive line starter worth keeping tabs on. The defenses only known entity is middle linebacker Jordan Matthews, who is back after leading the team with 7. A Guy To Know. Thomas Sirk isnt anything to write home about, but given this roster, he is something to blog about. Montgomery brought Sirk with him from Duke, where the sixth year transfer commanded the offense during the 2. Corporation Bank Form A1 Downloads on this page. I spent a season covering Sirk as a backup and another covering him as a starterhes fine. I cant say I ever expected him to be a teams Guy To Know or anything, but here we are. His mobility makes him useful, especially in an offense that boasts as many hulking veteran linemen as ECU does this year, and he has the arm to fit throws into tight windows over the middle from everywhere 2. Hes not a guy that you want to depend on airing it out for a victoryhe rocks a career completion percentage of 5. Again, hes just in Greenville for a season and his competition isnt all that stiff, but if he can regain his 2. Pirates might be alright. Can They Make The PlayoffAbsolutely not. The best ECU can hope for is for UConns season opening win against Holy Cross to end up being an aberration and for the Huskies to out race them to the bottom of the barrel. The Pirates hopes of winning the AAC East are nonexistent thanks to South Florida playing in the same division as them, and unless UCF, the back to back No. I think given its talent and schedule ECU should aim for progresssay, five or six winsbut be fully away that 4 8 might just be its ceiling for the time being. Is The Coach A Dick Scottie Montgomery is fairly fresh to the coaching game and has thus far avoided any of the dick ish behavior thats plagued the D2. His coaching methods, at least at the individual level, have certainly paid dividends for a plethora of otherwise average Duke receivers that still managed to find spots on NFL practice squads this preseason, as well as for Crowder, who now finds himself a starter for Washington. Im not stupid enough to believe any coach cant post a facade for a student reporter, but Montgomery seems to check out. Schedule. Sept. 2 James Madison Sept.
