'Blinded by a contact lens': Mother loses her sight (PHOTOS)

A mother lost her left eye after suffering a rare infection she believes was caused by her contact lens. Jacqui Stone endured 22 operations and more than 17 weeks in hospital after wearing a disposable lens from a popular brand. Doctors had to remove her eye because of fears the rare but aggressive fungal infection would penetrate her optic nerve and enter her brain. Mrs Stone, 42, said: ‘They tried everything to save my eye but the fungus had grown too strong. ‘It would have killed me. I’m terrified the fungus will come back if I get ill.’ See more photos  after the cut
