America. This was where newly suburban denizens went on vacation, flocking to lakeside resorts straight out of Dirty Dancing. But over the years, the people stopped coming, and the resorts closed. Now, their moss- covered ruins look like a tomb of the American dream. Photographer Pablo Maurer stumbled upon a few of these resorts while exploring the abandoned Penn Hills Resort.

Once a honeymooner’s destination, the so- called “Paradise of Pocono Pleasure” closed in 2. During his visit to the deserted resort, Maurer found an old matchbook adorned with an illustration of the Penn Hills pool at the height of its popularity. He looked at the illustration and then at the ruins of the pool and came up with the idea to photograph the current state of similar abandoned spaces that were once depicted in old postcards. For the next couple years, Maurer traveled around the Poconos and the Catskills, searching for resorts he’d seen in postcards bought at antique shops and on e. Bay. His journey not only became a treasure hunt, seeking out the most dramatic ruin porn, but it also became a time- traveling adventure. Maurer went looking for the spaces where a vibrant dining room or fun- filled bowling alley once existed.

Instead, he found moss- covered caverns and graffiti- coated ruins.“The Catskills in particular are a truly stunning, beautiful place with this overarching melancholy that’s hard to put your finger on,” Maurer told Gizmodo. But like so many other formerly grand places, you see glimmers of hope and rebirth along with the blight.”That’s one way of putting it. By superimposing his photographs of the ruins onto the postcard images, however, Maurer does help highlight the grandeur that once existed at these resorts.

You don’t need to imagine the lounge chairs by a now- empty and polluted pool. You can see them in the postcard, lined up next to bright blue water and a diving board. As one image dissolves into another, you can almost feel yourself transported back to the ‘6. Maurer explains that these resorts failed for various but sometimes related reasons. Airfare became more affordable (allowing the general public to be a bit less local with their vacation time),” he said.

Tastes changed, and many of them did not evolve with the times.”So they decayed. But there are still those glimmers of hope. Some resorts, like Grossinger’s and the Penn Hills Resort, have new owners who might decide to revive them. After all, the Catskills and the Poconos are becoming revitalized as young people rediscover the humble wonders near cities like New York and Philadelphia, places their parents might have gone or something they saw in a Patrick Swayze movie. There’s a chance the decrepit state of these once- fantastic places is only temporary.

Horrified Surgeons Discover 2. Contact Lenses in Woman’s Eye.

While prepping a 6. England’s Solihull Hospital, physicians noticed a strange bluish blob in one of her eyes. On closer look, the blob turned out to be 1. Another 1. 0 lenses were subsequently discovered in the same eye. The surgeons have never seen anything quite like it.

As reported in the British Medical Journal, the unnamed patient was unaware that the contact lenses were missing. Incredibly, the 2. She figured her dry eyes and periodic discomfort were just a product of old age. None of us have ever seen this before,” noted surgeon Rupal Marjaria, who filed the BMJ report, in Optometry Today. It was such a large mass. All the 1. 7 contact lenses were stuck together. We were really surprised that the patient didn’t notice it because it would cause quite a lot of irritation while it was sitting there.”The Solihull Hospital surgical team decided to postpone the cataract surgery due to the increased risk of endophthalmitis—inflammation of the inner eye.

This condition can lead to vision loss and even loss of the eye itself, and is a rare complication of cataract surgeries. The surgeons were concerned that a build- up of bacteria in the clump might trigger it. The patient had been using monthly disposable contact lenses for about 3.

What’s more, she didn’t mention any symptoms during her pre- operative assessment. Marjaria thought it important to write a case report about the incident, showing that it’s possible for a person to retain lots of contact lenses without experiencing too much discomfort.“She was quite shocked,” Marjaria told Optometry. Today. “When she was seen two weeks after I removed the lenses she said her eyes felt a lot more comfortable. She thought her previous discomfort was just part of old age and dry eye.”This case is obviously extreme; most people experience significant discomfort and redness, as well as an increased risk for infections, when contacts get stuck in their eyes. It’s not immediately obvious why this patient was so asymptomatic, but it may have had something to do with her “deep set eyes,” according to the BMJ report.

Wearers of contact lenses know how frustrating and unsettling it can be to displace a lens. Here’s how you get a contact lens out from the top of your eye, according to the American Academy of Ophthalmology: The first step is to be sure the contact lens is still on the eye. The contact lens can fall out of the eye and it may be assumed that it has merely moved under the eyelid. It is important to note also that the contact lens can only go as far as the crease in the conjunctiva under the upper eyelids and it cannot go behind your eye.

To remove the lens you should first wash your hand carefully and relax the eyelid and see if you can feel the lens through the eyelid. It may help to apply some sterile saline or artificial tears to help float the contact lens out from under the eyelid. If a corner of the lens can be visualized in a mirror you can use a finger to slide it back down over the cornea where it can be removed normally. If the lens is suspected to be under the upper eyelid, it may also help to bring the lens in to view by looking downward as far as possible. Another technique is to gently massage through the eyelid down towards the cornea or you can try to lift or “flip” the eyelid to make the lens visible. Lastly, if you cannot retrieve the lens or if the eye is bothersome, you should call and schedule an appointment to see your ophthalmologist as soon as possible.

The last sentence is the critical one. If at any point you feel this is beyond your abilities, just go see your eye doctor. As this bizarre case study shows, don’t just leave it in there.

Update: As an interesting update, we heard from Dr. Kevin D Hinshaw, an eye specialist in West County, PC, who says his record for one eye is five contact lenses. So this is actually a thing that happens, but 2. I would not say it is common, and 1.

Typically people think that their contact has fallen out so they put another one in on top of the previous lens. Usually these folks have relatively small corrections so their vision is not terribly affected until the ’stack’ gets fairly tall,” Hinshaw told Gizmodo.

We commonly will use two contacts in pathological states such as keratoconus. In that case it is usually a gas permeable on top of a soft lens. Gas permeable and polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) lenses are well known to become enveloped in tissue (patient thinks it fell out) only to appear as a lump in the eyelid a decade or two later. The lump is surgically opened and there is the contact lens. Often the lenses are still usable!”Correction: An earlier version of this post referred to endophthalmitis as a “common” complication of cataract surgery. As a Gizmodo reader pointed out, the condition is actually quite rare, affecting anywhere from one in 2,ooo to one in 1.
