WTF Circle Lens Eye Damage: My Story

Are circle lens dangerous? The story of how I lost my eyesight for a bit.
Show More Are circle lens dangerous? The story of how I lost my eyesight for a bit.

This is the video that I've been wanting to make for three years. I get a lot of emails about what happened to me. And so I've finally gotten the courage to make this video as a follow up from my blog post. For the record, I don't think wearing circle lenses is unsafe. I think there are special case scenarios like mine with any type of lens.

Timeline of what happened to me:
1. Wore circle lenses for a bajillion years without problem
2. Got sponsored lenses that I haven't worn before
3. Wore them for a few months
4. Noticed my eyesight getting blurry
5. Wrote it off as allergies. Ignored it
6. Eyes started getting light sensitivity and red
7. Goes to general practitioner
8. Gets steroid eyedrops. stops wearing lenses for a little bit
9. Continues wearing circle lenses after eyes feel better
10. Eyes deteriorate more. Blurry double vision starts
11. Goes to cornea specialist. Runs tests.
12. Stops wearing contacts altogether
13. Spirals into depression
14. After 4 months to a year, scars have disappeared. Wears contact lenses under heavy super vision
15. a year - a year and a half later full recovery

Also realized in the video I said it took a year for me to start wearing contacts again.. it was more like half a year? I dont remember but it was a really long time to full recovery.

I hope you enjoy this personal video. It was really hard to make :(. Even after I recovered I was really deeply depressed until I started making YouTube videos again.
