One horror story is about a girl who bought cheap colored contacts online. After wearing them for a while, her eyes became extremely itchy and red. She went to the doctor and found out that the contacts were made of low - quality materials that were irritating her eyes badly.
One contact horror story is about a person who got scammed by a so - called business contact. The scammer promised a great investment opportunity. They seemed very professional at first, with a fancy website and all. But after the person invested a large sum of money, the contact disappeared, and the website went down. It was a nightmare as the person lost all their savings.
One horror story is about a girl who wore cheap contact lenses. After a while, she felt intense pain in her eyes. When she took them out, she found that they had actually torn a bit and scratched her cornea. It was really scary as she had to go to the doctor immediately and deal with the pain and risk of infection.
Scams are very common. For example, like the ones where people pretend to be from a bank and ask for your account details through contact. Another common one is identity theft through contacts who seem friendly but are actually stealing your information.
One horror story is when a cosplayer got an eye infection from cheap, unregulated cosplay contact lenses. The lenses were not properly sterilized, and soon after wearing them, their eyes became red, itchy and swollen. It took a long time and medical treatment to get better.
Pain is a common element. Like when the contact lenses scratch the eyes, it causes a lot of pain. Another one is infection. If the lenses are dirty or not properly cared for, it can lead to eye infections which are really bad for your vision.
The worst encounter I know of was when a cosplayer had her costume partially ripped by an over - enthusiastic fan. The fan just rushed at her to get a closer look at the details of the costume and accidentally tore it. It was embarrassing and scary for the cosplayer as she was left exposed in a public place.
One horror story I heard was at a cosplay event. A cosplayer was approached by someone who seemed friendly at first. They started chatting about their cosplays, but then the person got really pushy about getting personal information like their phone number and address, saying they wanted to do a photoshoot together later. It was really creepy and made the cosplayer feel very uncomfortable.
A frequent type of horror story involves losing a contact lens in the eye. It can be very distressing as it might move around and be difficult to find. Also, wearing the wrong prescription of contact lenses can lead to headaches, dizziness and blurred vision, which is also a common horror story situation.
