I was diagnosed with retinoblastoma at the age of 2. They removed my eye within the week of my diagnosis and I got a prosthetic eye about two months after enucleation. Losing an eye has helped me find myself, my values, and my beliefs. It has also helped me find the career of my dreams!

When I started EYEHESIVE, I did it so that we in the visually impaired/one-eye community would never have to feel alone. I wanted us to have a platform so that we could share our stories and similar experiences.

At the age of 21, after an accident with a knife, I lost all vision in my left eye. The doctors at the Royal Devon and Cornwall hospital in Exeter tried for months to save it. However, due to how deep the knife cut through my eye, it became clear that my retina would not be reattaching. I was left blind and with a very big scar over my left eye.
