Night of Terror: From Beauty Habits to Fear of Losing Your Eyesight

According to Nghe Than Hy, she likes to apply a facial mask for 15 minutes every night before going to bed, a common habit that helps maintain healthy, beautiful skin. On the evening of June 25, the beauty queen used a new type of mask. During the entire process, she did not feel any stinging or discomfort.

However, about 30 minutes after removing the mask, Nghe Than Hy's eyes began to show signs of dryness and severe pain. Realizing that the situation was not good, the former beauty queen tried to wash her face and eyes with clean water, but the condition did not improve.

However, due to extreme fatigue, Nghe Than Hy decided to go to bed, hoping that her eyes would feel better after a night of sleep. However, at 11pm on June 25, she woke up unable to open her eyes, accompanied by a strong tingling sensation.

In a panic, when she used her hands to open her eyes, Nghe Than Hy was shocked to discover that she could no longer see anything. Tears continuously flowed and her eyes became especially sensitive to light, even the dimmest light. The sudden blindness caused the 8X beauty to fall into a state of extreme panic.

Realizing the seriousness of the situation, Nghe Than Hy's husband immediately took her to the emergency room. At the time of admission, the beauty queen's eyes were swollen, bloodshot, and she had completely lost the ability to see.

Doctor's diagnosis and painful lesson

Thanks to being taken to the hospital for timely treatment, Nghe Than Hy has now regained her vision, however her eyes are still significantly red and swollen. Ophthalmologists have diagnosed that the 8X beauty is severely allergic to the chemical ingredients in the new skin care mask.

The essence from the mask accidentally flowed into her eyes without her knowing, or without her having to handle and rinse her eyes thoroughly with clean water in time. This caused a strong inflammatory reaction, causing her eyes to swell and leading to temporary loss of vision.

This is a rare case but also a valuable warning about the importance of using cosmetics properly, especially products for the eye area. Medical experts often recommend that users read the instructions carefully, avoid direct contact of the product with the eyes, and if there are any unusual signs, rinse with saline or clean water and seek medical help immediately, do not be subjective or self-treat at home.

Sharing about this horrifying experience, Nghe Than Hy confided: "I had a close call. I hope my story will help people be more careful in protecting their eyes from chemicals, don't subjectively think that it will be okay or treat it yourself at home if you feel unwell like me."

The former beauty queen's warning emphasizes the importance of listening to your body and seeking professional medical intervention when there are unusual signs, instead of suffering or self-treating at home, which can lead to more serious consequences.
