Emergency Eye Surgery
Donation protected
Since I was a young, I've had pretty poor vision. I thought squinting was normal. That everyone had to squint to see who was waving hello to them or even read a book. It was a miracle to me when I got my first pair of glasses.
Over the years, my lenses kept getting thicker. I knew something was wrong. I recently found out that I have a corneal disease called Keratoconus. My cornea is shaped incorrectly. And it's deteriorating. It's pretty severe, I only have 40% of my cornea left on both eyes.
There's a procedure that can stop the cornea from worsening. It's corneal cross-linking. Cost $3,000-$4000 per eye. I found a surgeon that's willing to do it for $5000 for both eyes. Unfortunately, the procedure isn't covered by insurance. If not treated, well, to put it bluntly, I'm going
to go blind in 10-15years.
I truly appreciate any amount of support in helping me reach my goal to fund my eye surgery. To be able to get this surgery would give me such freedom and relief. I'll finally be able to drive
