A Nigerian lady has taken to social media to thank God for the success of her wedding even though she became partially blind barely 24 hours before her big day.
The lady, identified simply as Dora, said she purchased an eye drop from a pharmacy and went home to use it.
Sadly the pharmacist prescribed the wrong eye drop which fully dilated her pupils overnight.
Dora who used the handle @explorraa on TikTok, said she woke up unable to see a thing and her eyes were tearing copiously due to light rays and she was rushed back to the pharmacist who gave her the eye drop.
They however met another pharmacist on duty who expressed shock at the particular eye drop given to her.
According to the pharmacist, the eye drop was extreme and only used by an ophthalmologist to purposely dilate the pupils before examining the health of the optive nerve and retina.
Seeing how sensitive her situation was, she was booked for an emergency appointment with an optometrist who sadly told her that the time frame between the sad incident and her wedding was too short to fully recover her sight.
She had no choice but to continue with her wedding in her condition while still undergoing medical attention to see perfectly again.
She narrated:
“How I lost my sight 24 hours before my wedding and got married partially blind. 36 hours before my wedding, I went to the drugstore to get eye drops because my eyes were a bit red from preparation stress.
“I explained why I needed the eye drop and the pharmacist prescribed an eye drop to me I was instructed to use it at night before bedtime which I did. “I woke up the next day blind. Like I couldn’t see.
My pupils were dilated. My eyes started tearing as the light ray was too much for my eyes to comprehend.
“My vision was totally blur. I could only see very blur shapes but nothing more. I was completely blind only 24 hours to my wedding. “I was taken back to the drugstore where I bought the eye drop and the pharmacist that prescribed the eye drop to me was not on shift.”
Dora said her big day was nearly marred by the devil, but she pressed forward with faith.
She said her husband did her best to protect her from the prying eyes of the wedding guests and she also put on a permanent smile to throw people off her challenge.
