A woman is claiming she has been left blind in one eye after rinsing her contact lens case in tap water and contracting a parasitic infection that ate away at her cornea.
Kyra Smith, 25, is completely blind in her left eye after contracting acanthamoeba keratitis - a sight threatening infection of the cornea, in March 2021.
The 25-year-old had worn contact lenses for the past six years - reusing ones that last for 30 days by washing them in contact solution and storing them in a case after taking them out each night.
