BE CAREFUL WHERE YOU LEAVE YOUR UTENSILS
after eating in the vessel’s buffet.
A woman in China has had a 6cm piece
of chopstick removed from her eye
socket after complaining of eye pain.
The woman, Ci Yang, contacted
doctors in Chengdu, to try to find the
cause for her persistent swollen red eye.
Doctors gave Ci a CAT scan and
discovered a 6cm object in the right
corner of her eye.
Immediately after the scan surgeons
operated and removed the chopstick.
Later it was discovered that the utensil
got into her eye 11 years ago after she
slipped and hit her head on the table,
causing what was thought to be
temporary eye damage, which cleared up
with anti-inflammation medication.
According to Cy, since then her eye
flared up periodically but was calmed
with anti-inflamatory drugs.
Doctors have since told her that she
was lucky that the chopstick lodged in the
gap between her eye and her socket,
otherwise she would be blind.
