Shelby Perry

HOST

The visionary behind EYEHESIVE. After a snowboarding incident in 2021 left her with the loss of her right eye, Shelby encountered the challenge of finding comprehensive resources to navigate her journey and the prosthetic process. Determined to fill this gap, she founded EYEHESIVE with one mission in mind: to provide top-tier individual coaching and a vibrant array of resources for our community.

At EYEHESIVE we're all about empowerment, support, and fun! Our vibrant community is a melting pot of inspiring stories from individuals living with one eye. Through our platform, we offer strength, solidarity, and a whole lot of hope.

A dedicated military spouse, mother of two, advocate, and the CEO of her national organization. In January 2019, while stationed in Germany, her daughter Journey Rose was diagnosed with a rare childhood cancer, prompting the family's return to the U.S. for specialized care. This period of intense medical challenges reinforced Somer's commitment to support other families facing similar trials. She shares her family's journey to help others recognize early signs of Retinoblastoma and provide a support network. Today, Journey is a vibrant second grader who loves swimming, skating, and crafting, embracing life with joy and resilience. Somer continues to advocate for awareness and support, drawing on her personal experiences to foster community and guidance for other families.
