Years ago I was working in the eye department at Camp Pendleton when the front desk called and asked if I would take a call from the OR. Thinking they had some sort of emergency, I took the call. The nurse on the phone explained they were doing a colonoscopy and broke the patient's contact lens. All I could think to say was "My God, you're thorough!". Then we both cracked up.
Turns out, the patient had started tearing and their hard contact lens had popped out and someone stepped on it. They wanted to know if the eye department could handle replacement. We did.
