The intervention of the doctor
The doctor then initially uses an anesthetic and a yellow spot to identify any scratches or foreign bodies. But he can’t see anything on the cornea from the initial exam, so he manually pulls the lower and upper lids to see if there was anything in the upper or lower fornix. He then uses an instrument called an eyelid speculum, which holds both the upper and lower eyelids open at the same time for a longer period of time, so that he can freely use his hands to find out what was happening.

There were many contact lenses, from the Guinness Book of Records. In nearly 20 years of practice, she had never seen anything like it.
