After many years battling with my eye health, I’ve reached the end of road somewhat, and the decision has been made to try a prosthetic eye shell. This marks the start of a journey to have an artificial eye, with an incredible medical team behind me.

Emergency Operation for me!. On Saturday my husband noticed a small black circle in my blind eye, I was excited thinking I had a pupil again, but by Sunday my left eye was extremely painful and couldn’t tolerate light, so I patched it up and put it down to old injuries. (1/5)

Also, if this helps anyone else…. yes I do sometimes find it hard. I’m ok with looking different to everyone else but operations can sometimes take me back to memories of how this all started and that’s hard mentally.

Stop Judging People by Their Appearance. Making jokes, memes, or cruel comments about how someone looks isn’t funny—it’s harmful. You don’t know the full story behind someone’s appearance, their medical history, or the personal choices they’ve made.

am trying to preserve the eye, avoid perforation and loosing my eye completely. Also just because something is on view permanently it doesn’t give people the right to constantly comment on your appearance- you never know what’s going on in someone’s life.

protect the cornea during a short period of exposure or disease. I’ve also had scar tissue operated on on my right eye, so that will also be slightly swollen. I wanted to put this here for a few reasons:. Firstly to educate that living with the kind of injures I have means.

things will change through out your life and sometimes things go backwards. There isn’t really an end point and part of this kind of recovery is acceptance of that. Secondly with a disfigurement surgical decisions have to be based around function not aesthetics. In my case I am.
