Keep an eye out for contact lenses you wear no matter the eye! (there will be alternative ways of saying some phrases in brackets, so I hope you'll check them out as well)
This story happened in Birmingham, England in November 2016 (= in November of 2016). We are going to meet a 67-y.o. woman (= a womam who has 67 years) who had some discomfort in her left eye. So she visited a doctor (= she paied a visit to a doctor = called on a doctor, meaning physically came). She complained that her vision had begun getting worse as well as she had been feeling some discomfort in her left eye. As she said, it itched and was a little bit dry. So the surgery was assigned (=was scheduled). And she did come to have it. That was when (= it was in that moment that) the doctor started preparing her for the surgery and discovered something in her eye. This something makes her SCI-title worthy. You may try to guess what was it and you very well may guess the item right. But it's unlikely that you'll guess how many items were there.
When the doctor started examining and preparing her eyes for the surgery, he discovered something that will literally change your life forever. It was 27 contact lenses stuck in her left eye (glued to her... = pasted to her...). The right eye, however, was free from any of those. The doctor removed (= extracted = took off/away = got out) 17 of them stuck together, which became a sort of blue glue-ish mass (= sticky substance = paste-like substance). The other 10 were still glued to the woman’s eye. The doctor had to assign a separate surgery and use special instruments to remove the remaining (= the left 10) 10, though.
The woman felt «much better» after the removal, though. Even more so that she cancelled the surgery as her left eye did not strain anymore. As the woman said, she had been wearing monthly disposable contact lenses for 35 years by then and the ones from her left eye were often missing (= were frequently missing). She thought she had been dropping them somewhere. That’s why she didn’t take them off6.

This story happened in Birmingham, England in November 2016 (= in November of 2016).
We are going to meet a 67-y.o. woman (= a womam who has 67 years)ear-old woman who had some discomfort in her left eye.
So she visited a doctor (= she paiyed a visit to a doctor = called on a doctor, meaning physically came).
At least in my dialect of English, we don't use "called on a doctor". It sounds awkward to me, but I think it's fine in other dialects.
She complained that her vision had begun getting worse as well as s. She had been feeling some discomfort in her left eye as well.
As sShe said, it itched and was a little bit dry.
So the, a surgery was assigned (=was scheduled).
And she did comeThe woman went to have it done.
That was when (= it was in that moment that) the doctor started preparing her for the surgery and discovered something in her eye.
If you want to use your alternative expression, it would have to be "It was at that moment that..."
This something makes her SCI-title worthy.
SCI-title?
You may try to guess what was itit was, and you very well may guess the item rightcorrectly.
But, it's unlikely that you'll guess how many items were there.
When the doctor started examining and preparing her eyes for the surgery, he discovered something that will literally change your life forever.
It wasThere were 27 contact lenses stuck into her left eye (glued to her... = pasted to her...).
"Stuck in" isn't necessarily wrong since things can get in your eyes, but I feel like I would preferably use "stuck to" in this case since that's how contacts work. The other expressions don't work; they sound too literal.
The right eye, however, was free from any of thoshad none.
The doctor removed (= extracted = took off/away = got out) 17 of them that were stuck together, which became in a sort of blue glue-ish mass (= sticky substance = paste-like substance)like mass.
The other 10 were still glued to the woman’s eye.
I think "glued to" is okay here because you just described some of the lenses as glue-like, and you're emphasizing how stuck on the remaining lenses are.
The doctor had to assign a separate surgery and use special instruments to remove the remaining (= the left 10) 10, though.
TEven so, the woman felt «much better» after the removal, though.
Even more soShe felt so much better that she cancelled the surgery, as her left eye did not strainbother her anymore.
