The “married at first sight” profile Dennis Svensson has suffered an infection in the eye after using lenses.
Now he has been with the doctor and been told that he may be forced to remove the entire eye.
– I was very scared and set, he says.
Dennis Svensson, 34, who this year was in “Married at first sight”, woke up on Thursday and felt irritated in the eye.
– I had contact lenses and felt that my eyes were quite annoyed but then I didn’t think about it anymore, because sometimes it is so that the production in the eyes cleans it myself but no, Dennis Svensson tells Expressen.
He switched to glasses but the pain did not go over.
– Every time I blinked, it felt like the eyelashes were betting inward, it really hurt.
So Dennis Svensson went to the emergency room.
– The first doctor said when they looked at my eye was: “Oh!” It’s never good when a doctor says oh. Obviously you get scared, it felt serious, that you may have something that is difficult to handle and treat.
On Thursday he could still see and started a treatment.
On Friday he was back with the doctor.
– Then the vision was completely gone. I see movements but it is blurred. Then a doctor looked first and asked if I was working on a farm, they were a bit in that it could be mushrooms.
Two to doctors then looked at Dennis Svensson’s eye.
– If three doctors look at it within the race in an hour, they are very serious. Then I got the most intense you can get in antibiotic path.
The SVT profile is also treated with fungicidal.
– It has made no difference really. I still haven’t got my view back. I have a white membrane, it doesn’t look so nice.
“I’m still pretty set”
On Tuesday, the SVT profile was back with the doctor and received a shocking message.
– They were a little positive yesterday but it was a pretty buff doctor there yesterday saying that: “I can’t guarantee anything but it really looks like we can’t save this eye because it is such an extreme infection and there is so much scar tissue in the eye that it might not be possible to do.
– So you were very placed there.
Another doctor was more positive and emphasized that there may be an alternative: to make a corneal transplant.
– But I was very scared and set.

Now Dennis Svensson is testing, among other things, a new antibiotics.
– But they don’t know what it is and it makes me even more worried.
However, the doctors have said that they believe he suffered a fungal infection caused by using lenses, says Dennis Svensson.
The SVT profile has had lenses for many years and is always careful. He doesn’t sleep with them either.
– It is very strange and feels crazy.
Dennis Svensson’s call
Dennis Svensson says he learned afterwards that the healthcare staff never did a cultivation on mushrooms the first time he came in. It now makes it difficult to know what he has suffered, according to him.
– They didn’t, but I got a recipe for drops printed directly. It is antibiotics, so if it is fungus then it disappears temporarily. If you then take a cultivation, you can also not see if it is fungus. After all, they are like they made a mistake themselves care, they would have taken a cultivation immediately before starting treatment.
Now he urges other lens carriers to be careful.
– Be careful with the lentils and change lens fluid frequently. These are tips and advice. And if there is irritation in the eye, change quickly to glasses so that the eyes get to rest. I am not an optician but these are the tips I received.
This week he will return to the doctor again.
– I don’t know what the next step will be. We simply see.
– Just getting back some percent vision would have been magical.
