Eventually she was able to get them both out, but was in so much agony she was unable to open her eyes.

Speaking to student newspaper The Tab, blonde stunner Tia said: “I attempted to get the right one out first, which was the bad one.

“I had to wake someone up and it took about forty minutes to get out.

“My eyes were watering like mad and the right one was still killing.”

“I tried to go to sleep but couldn’t because the pain was so bad, so I gave up and went up the hospital.”

After a four hour wait at Prince Charles Hospital’s A&E, doctors told beautiful Tia, from Merthyr, Wales, that the contacts had ripped her cornea, which is what had caused so much agony.

Tia wants to warn others

She said: “The doctor had to put anaesthetic in my eye so I could open it.

“He had a good look and prodded my eye with a cotton bud because he thought some of the lens was still stuck in there.

“But it was actually because my cornea had ripped so bad.”

“The lens was so dry that it had stuck to my eyeball and ripped the cornea completely out with it.”

Luckily she has now been told that there won’t be any lasting damage to her eye, and was given antibiotics and told to keep her eye covered until it recovers.

Recovering from the injury

Tia has now warned others to stay away from the cheap non-prescription contacts.

She said: “I’d recommend not to wear them as they’re super dangerous and I didn’t realise.

“My grandparents were telling me not to wear them all week because of what was on the news.”
