Letter: Fly in the eye

I have just been reading the article in Optician about the patient with 27 contact lenses in her eye.

Last summer, I had a thankfully rare find in my contact lens patient, who while on a golfing holiday in Lanzarote, got a fly in his eye during a game. He removed the fly but his eye continued to feel irritable. He saw an ophthalmologist out there who prescribed him lubricating eye drops and advised him to see his optician once he was home if his eye was still irritated.

He flew home a couple of days later and made an appointment to come straight in to our practice.
