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) pic.twitter.com/Vhsx7cWyPX

She continued: “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. I’m used to being in some level of discomfort and I went to work”.

“By Sunday night I felt nausea and in extreme pain. I got in touch with my eye specialist @sherazdaya @centreforsightuk and unfortunately, he confirmed the black circle was a hole in my eye and the eye had perforated. This had always been a fear that it would happen”, explained Katie.

Katie added: “Yesterday @sherazdaya sourced tissue for me and operated on me. I cannot thank him and his team enough, for their knowledge and expertise, but also for how kind and caring they all are”.

“There may be some evil people in this world but there are also some pretty incredible people doing amazing things for people on a daily basis. Huge thank you team @sherazdaya @centreforsightuk You are the best! 🙏”, she concluded.
