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
