A 29-year-old man in the United Kingdom says he was blinded in the right eye after he wore his contact lenses in the shower.

A parasite living in water found its way into Nick Humphreys’s eye from the shower and left him blind in one eye, according to a personal story shared by Humphreys with the Shropshire Star.
