On December 15, 2020, I experienced a spontaneous tear of the retina in my left eye.

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

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

I’ve had about 5 surgeries in the span of 2 years to try and save my left eye

I had central retinal artery occlusion on the 9th of December 2021, which took almost 90% percent of my vision in my right eye.

HOWEVER! The point of sharing my story is I WILL NEVER GIVE UP! As many times a day as I want to, I will never.

Ten days and many tests and procedures later, it was determined that I had suffered a retinal occlusion.

Thus, I learned to drive, and live with one eye. Both my balance and depth perception is off, which makes it more difficult.
