Sexy comedienne Maureen Larrazabal revealed that she got blind for two years after sleeping while still wearing her contact lenses.
With this, Maureen had pseudomonas infection in her eyes which caused so much pain that led to her being blind while in Hong Kong.
In her interview in Lutong Bahay, a GMA Public Affairs show on YouTube hosted by Mikee Quintos, Maureen revealed her medical journey.
“Bulag ako, two years. Natulog ako nang may contact lens, tapos tumitigas ‘yun ‘di ba kapag hindi ka nag-drops. Na-sl!t open ko ‘yung cornea, pinasukan ng pseudomonas, so pumasok siya sa mata. Pagpasok sa mata ko, few hours lang, that bacteria will melt your eye in 24 hours, ganon siya katindi,” she related.
According to Maureen, it was so difficult to communicate in Hong Kong.
“Napakahirap talaga mag-communicate sa kanila, and one thing that really registered was nung sinabi nila na go home blind,” she said.
With this, Maureen decided to return to the country to continue her medication.
Maureen also expressed her gratitude to the Kapuso network for its support to her.
“Kaya thankful ako sa GMA kasi during that time hindi nila ako tinanggalan ng show. May pinagdaanan ako, pero I have something to look forward to. Every week, pumapasok ako nang naka-shades,” she said. (NIGEL CHAVEZ DE ESTRADA)
