I never fully regained my eyesight and went on to undergo numerous operations and pain relief treatments.

I know they often worried about how having monocular vision impairment would affect me while growing up...

Last month I celebrated my 10th anniversary of being tumor-free. The anniversary marks 8 ½ years of wearing an eye patch.

Sunday July 9, 2017 will be a day etched in my mind for the rest of my life. I awoke to find two doctors standing over me.

He was on the top of the house and I was down in the street. He dropped a stick from the top and suddenly the stick crushed my eye.

I had a really hard time with bullying and it got to the point where I believed what people were saying about me.

I wasn’t hit or poked in the eye I just got dealt this type of hand.

Initially, the hardest part of my accident was having lost so much, including a career that I loved.

It is extremely hard for me when people think that I’m not able to do something or deny me access to things like job opportunities...

My eye story started the day I entered the world! This is a long story, but that’s because it has taken my whole life to get to this point.

I was driving my car alone in the evening and had a car crash. The airbag hit my eye so violently that my eye was cut.

I lost my eye at the age of 8 after they tried desperately to save it.

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

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.
