A TikTok user has shared a harrowing tale of how she lost an eye after her sunglasses shattered during a car crash. Hannah Oliver posted a video that has since gone viral with over 1.8 million views, detailing the traumatic event and warning others.
In her cautionary tale, she said: "I lost my eye due to my sunglasses shattering and let me just tell you, this is something that you probably do all the time." She said it happened while driving with her "favourite designer sunglasses" on a sunny day. She continued with a warning about the dangers of plastic lenses: "The issue is, the majority of the sunglasses that you are probably wearing are made out of straight plastic lenses.
And basically what that means is on any impact they will shatter." Hannah then recounted the moment of the collision. She said: "So I was driving along and this guy pulled out in front of me, I didn't react fast enough, and when I did, I slammed on the brakes and hit him from behind.
.. I was only going 25 miles per hour.
" The impact caused her airbag to deploy, which then hit her sunglasses. She said: "When it happened, my airbag came out and it hit my sunglasses perfectly. "The lens shattered into pieces and all those pieces went straight into my eye.
" She then detailed the extent of her injuries: "My eye was shredded, my optic nerve was gone, my retina was detached, my eye had completely deflated. "My top eyelid was hanging over, my bottom eyelid as you can see is really non-existent." Hannah outlined.
