I purchased cosmetic contacts from (b)(6) at (b)(6).I started wearing them off and on for a few weeks and i noticed that my left eye was red and irritated.So, i removed the contacts and my eye irritation worsened and became very painful.I laid down that evening with a cold compress on my eye and the next day, the pain was so excruciating and i was unable to see.I went to two emergency rooms ((b)(6) center referred me to (b)(6)) and was given antibiotics and penicillin and was then referred to an ophthalmologist who diagnosed me with an ulcer on my cornea and prescribed me steroid eye drops.I have seen him twice and have another appointment on (b)(6).My entire cornea was covered with an ulcer and now a month later the ulcer is healed however, i have permanent scar tissue directly in the center of my cornea which prevents me from seeing.
