A Nigerian bride has shared a heartbreaking story of how she lost her sight just 36 hours before her wedding, all due to a mistaken prescription by a pharmacist.
The bride, identified as @explorraa on TikTok, recounted how she visited a pharmacy to get eye drops for redness in her eyes caused by wedding preparation stress. However, the pharmacist prescribed an eye drop meant for dilating pupils, typically used in eye surgeries or by ophthalmologists for specific examinations.
Upon waking up the next day, the bride found herself completely blind, with her pupils dilated and unable to see clearly. She was rushed back to the pharmacy, where another pharmacist expressed shock at the inappropriate eye drop given to her.
Despite efforts to seek immediate medical attention, including an emergency appointment with an optometrist, the bride was informed that her sight would not fully recover in time for her wedding. With a heavy heart, she made the decision to proceed with the ceremony while still undergoing treatment.
Social media reactions poured in as users shared similar experiences of wrong medication leading to sight issues, emphasizing the importance of accurate prescription and medical care.
The video detailing the bride’s ordeal has sparked discussions online, shedding light on the risks associated with incorrect medication and the resilience shown by individuals in challenging situations.
