A 33-year-old Chinese woman, identified as Ms. A, was stunned when doctors discovered five lost contact lenses hidden behind her left eye. The unexpected event occurred while she was undergoing treatment for hemifacial atrophy at the Plastic Surgery Hospital of the Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences in Beijing.

Ms. A initially sought medical attention to correct facial asymmetry caused by her condition, Doctors planned to perform autologous fat grafting to restore balance to her face.

However, during the procedure, they uncovered multiple contact lenses lodged in the space behind her eyeball, shocking both the patient and the medical team

For months, Ms. A had assumed that she had accidentally lost her contact lenses, little did she know that they had been trapped within the deep folds of her eye, Hemifacial atrophy, which causes the fatty tissue around the eye to shrink, had created enough space for the lenses to slide behind her eyeball unnoticed.

Doctors only discovered them when they injected fat behind her eye, which pushed the lenses out, despite wearing contacts for years, she had never experienced any discomfort or symptoms, making this case even more astonishing.
