I was assaulted by a client during a home visit, my eye continued to cause pain and that led to enucleation

I was looking forward to my first round of golf with a close friend. The club struck the left side of my face.

That is where the line drive met my right eye. My eye was definitely on the ball. Sorry, bad humor.

I sustained traumatic injuries to the left side of my face resulting in the loss of my left eye.

I was up to bat when an inside fastball hit me in my left eye.

On the 4th of July, there was an accident where a firework had blown up and it had blown my right eye, my eyelid, and my cheek.

The key ruptured my globe which caused me to have an enucleation of my left eye and replace it with a prosthetic eye.

Attendees of the conference will have the opportunity to hear from 4 notable speakers within the community.

One bullet went directly through my left eye and another through my left cheek.

The program is designed to help individuals and their caregivers to overcome and grow through the life-altering experience of vision loss.

I have also had to undergo 7 reconstruction surgeries on my left eye before I was able to receive the prosthetic I now wear today.

I am a bit traumatized by what happened to my eye. People ask me a lot of questions about it and they can be difficult for me to answer.

Looking into a mirror and really observing our faces, our eyes, and our prosthetic eyes.

Fast forward 10 years later, when my eye unexpectedly started giving me a lot of trouble.

I made the decision within a week to remove the eye because I could see that it was dying.

Long story short: Doctors said my eye was like a squished grape. They tried to repair it, but it was too far gone. It never worked again.

I was able to keep my left eye, but my vision forever changed.

"I get to see in half the dark and half the light" -- there cannot be light without darkness.

Hi!!! Since you last shared my story, some things have happened…

Many doctors tried to revive my eyesight, but it was beyond repair and became infected a few years later.
