An elderly patient  complaints of blurry vision actually had 23 disposable contact lenses lodged in her eye.

Most people will notice a blur in their vision when two or more contacts are stacked together

 it is "uncommon" to put in several contacts at a time

The removal of the 23 lenses was "therapeutic, not dangerous

The patient experienced no pain since I pretreated her with an anesthetic drop

Same case was reported a few years back of multiple contact lenses being removed from one eye
