My father, my hero

I first started having sight problems when I was 18, though my loss of sight happened over a few years.  It forced me to miss a part of high school as I attended treatment in the UK before coming back to Kenya to complete my studies and KCSE exams before returning for treatment.  The cause of the condition was never really determined, and it’s not something that occupies my mind anymore, but it led to multiple complications including inflammation and glaucoma that eventually resulted in my sight loss. The multiple surgeries and laser treatments were necessary to stabilise the condition, treat the resulting effects and reduce the likelihood of losing my sight, but also to control the pressure within the eyes.
