ll my life I’ve had an artificial eye, until 5 years ago when my eye socket collapsed due to the prosthetic being so heavy.

“One in a million”, they always say. Well, for me, that truly is the case. I have an extremely rare genetic disorder known as OFCD

They had confirmed that I indeed had a tumour on the back of my eye. If it didn't get treated soon it could end my life..

At 11 months old, something injured my right eye, but no one was around to see what it was.

Once the steroids stop working, we will move on to enucleation.

My secondary implant surgery was on April 2021, I still face some difficulties but it is improving day by day.

My mum had a gut feeling that something wasn’t right

I feel I am in a better position now both mentally and physically after having my eye removed.

...when I was struck in the face by a large rock that someone had thrown from the freeway overpass.

I had diabetic retinopathy in both eyes which needed extensive care.

I broke my nose, shattered my orbital bone, broke all the bones on the left side of my face, and split my eye in half.

The right eye is like getting rain on your windshield but your wipers don’t work.

The hardest part has been looking in the mirror and seeing I don’t look like myself. Accepting the new me.

I was diagnosed with Uveitis when I was 9 years old. Uveitis is an inflammatory eye condition which causes painful flare ups with symptoms.

I was at a party with my family on July 4, 2021, when my life changed forever.
