A Nigerian bride recently shared her heart-wrenching experience of going blind just hours before her wedding day.

In a viral video, the bride recounted how a wrong prescription of eye drops led to her sudden blindness on the eve of her wedding.

In her own words:

"How I lost my sight 24 hours before my wedding and got married partially blind. 36 hours before my wedding, I went to the pharmacy to get eye drops because my eyes were a bit red from the stress of preparations. I explained my situation to the pharmacist, who then prescribed an eye drop and instructed me to use it at night before bed, which I did.

"I woke up the next day blind. I couldn’t see. My pupils were dilated, and my eyes started tearing because the light was too intense. My vision was completely blurry. I could only see vague shapes but nothing more. I was entirely blind just 24 hours before my wedding.

"We went back to the pharmacy, but the pharmacist who had given me the eye drops wasn’t on shift. Due to the severity of the situation, she was called in immediately. The other pharmacist couldn't understand why I was given such eye drops.

"The eye drop is usually used for eye surgery or by an ophthalmologist to dilate the pupils for examining the optic nerve and retina. It was shocking that I was given such an extreme eye drop. When the pharmacist arrived, she was terrified. Realizing the gravity of the situation, they booked an immediate appointment with an optometrist.

"When we got to the optometrist, he examined my eyes and told me it would take a while for my sight to fully return. There was no way I would regain my vision in 24 hours, so I had to go on with my wedding in that condition. I cried so much. The devil tried, but he failed."
