text: New Zealander blind in one eye because of novelty lens
  
  January 22, 2007 
  
  Novelty coloured contact lenses have left a 24-year-old man living in Auckland, New Zealand with one blind eye. 
  The unnamed man wore the novelty lenses for three days, after which he sought medical advice. At that time his cornea was already damaged. 
  It has been reported that the man, who did not previously require contact lenses, had an infected cornea after wearing the novelty lens. The patient underwent two emergency corneal transplant surgeries to fix his eye and regain vision. The man did not follow instructions given to him to minimize the risk of rejection, and consequently his cornea was destroyed by bacteria.
