Sharing the painful story with her 3.8 million followers on Insta, Cardoso revealed that the injury was caused by her tapered nails, she received plenty of sympathy after the hospital dash.
The 30-year-old beauty influencer said she scratched her eye with her talon-like extension while she was with her friend and fellow influencer Camila Pudim.
Jessica Cardoso explained, “I did my nails, which were tapered. I, not being very clever, went to scratch my eye and as I moved, my fingernail ripped out a bit of my cornea. That's what the doctor said."
She further added: "I did not see anything on my nail so I thought I just scratched my eye. But according to the doctor, a piece really came off."
Cardoso told her Instagram followers: "It was the worst night of my life. When I tried to open one eye, the other eyelid started to strain. It felt like there was a knife hurting my eye."
Meanwhile, she is following the doctor’s recommendations and is currently taking eye drops and painkillers. The beauty influencer further told that she would be able to see normally again after her treatment.
