I went to the opticians to have a regular eye test and on testing they had found a tumour. They referred me to a specialist hospital in London for further examination, on doing so 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. The optic nerve was damaged as well as the contents of the eye, and since then, I have had multiple surgeries ranging from lens transplants, cornea transplants, and a glaucoma tube transplant.

I was diagnosed with T1D (Type 1 diabetes) when I was almost nine years old. 20 plus years of T1D was showing through my eyes. I went to see a Neurologist after I suffered a seizure and the moment he did the eye exam he sent me downstairs to an Ophthalmologist; he was seeing major hemorrhaging in both eyes.

Just before turning two years old, my parents noticed that I would always bang into things. They started to cover one eye at a time, I refused to have my eye covered as it made me feel blind. I got sick with a high fever for almost a month, they took me to an ophthalmologist and I was diagnosed with a rare type of eye cancer, #Retinoblastoma.
