I can only wear contacts for about 12 hours before they start getting uncomfortable. If I fall asleep with them in my eyes feel weird and dry when I wake. How could she go that long?

well it is a real pain to take out contact lenses and clean them daily.just like its a real pain to go to your national security/briefings/intelligence meetings.

I do not understand how she did not know there was a problem before she went totally blind.
I wear soft lens contacts at times. A few times I fell asleep with them still in. I sure knew it he next day, with redness and one time with an infection.
There must be more to the story.

Probably didn’t have Stupid Insurance so somebody else will be stuck with the unnecessary cost of a blind person for life (probably the taxpayers).
