I went blind in one eye after having false lashes fitted while wearing contact lenses – I still can’t see properly 18 months on [Video]

A receptionist claims she was blinded for months after getting lashes fitted while still wearing her contact lenses.

Lillie Barrett, 22, from Welling in Bexley, south-east London began to experience an itchy left eye after getting a set of £55 Russian lashes fitted while wearing her contact lenses in November 2022.

After experiencing a watering eye overnight, she visited the chemist the following day and was given drops to soothe her red and swollen eye. 

But two days later when her eye began to swell and yellow gunk started to build up on her cornea, Lillie claims she lost all vision in her left eye.  

Horrifying footage shows Lillie’s cornea turning a hazy grey as she claims she was left blind in this eye and not able to see in 3D out of the other, and was later told she had developed a corneal ulcer.
