An Eye Exam Gone Wrong: How One Woman Went Home as the Incredible Hulk!

When you think of a regular trip to the eye doctor, you probably envision reading letters on a chart or having drops put in your eyes. But for Margerita B. Wargola, an Irish woman, her latest visit turned into an unexpected adventure. After a nurse forgot to ask her to remove her contact lenses before administering contrast drops, Wargola wound up with neon green eyes that looked plucked straight from a comic book. Talk about a bold look!

Initially stunned, Wargola and the nurse shared a moment of panic as they discovered the startling side effect of the contrast—bright yellow vision and radioactive green irises. After the mix-up, once the lenses were removed and thoroughly washed, thankfully, her eyes were unharmed, though her contact lenses were permanently stained. Wargola managed to keep a sense of humor about the situation, recording her drive home while sporting her new eye color, making her look like a superhero sidekick rather than just another patient.

Despite the minor mishap, Wargola decided to embrace her eye-catching contacts, planning to wear them for festive occasions like St. Patrick’s Day. This delightful misadventure serves as a reminder of the importance of communication in healthcare and just how unpredictable our ordinary tasks can be. Next time you’re at the doctor, make sure they check your contacts first—unless you want to inadvertently change your eye color!
