He used to lead an active lifestyle playing baseball and hitting the gym but now spends most of his time at home in darkness with the curtains drawn.
When he woke, his left eye was blood shot and his vision distorted. As he frequently slept with his contact lenses on, he shrugged off the discomfort and simply removed the lenses from his eyes. Doctors initially thought his eye had been infected by a herpes virus, which people contract by touching a cold sore and then their eyes.
In the United States, about two people out of a million contact lens users contract the infection each year. Mr Krumholz is now able to see only black and grey flashes in his left eye, which he compares to static on a television. His right eye is unaffected.
