    A man suffered a horrific injury after he fell asleep with his contact lenses in and a parasite started eating his eye.

    The 21-year-old Mike Krumholz from Florida was only asleep for around 40 minutes, taking a break from his day at work looking after children.

    He’s used to having an eye infection at times, saying that he sometimes gets ‘pink eye’ if he forgets to take his contacts out.

    He was diagnosed with acanthamoeba keratitis, which is a flesh-eating parasite that gets into the eyes and starts eating the tissue.
