Comments on: When One Eye is Better Than Two – James Bonner in Australia http://artificialeyes.net Mon, 23 Jan 2012 07:35:54 +0800 hourly 1 By: Aira http://artificialeyes.net/stories/james-bonner-when-one-eye-is-better-than-two/#comment-57 Aira Thu, 18 Nov 2010 06:59:12 +0000 http://artificialeyes.net/?page_id=571#comment-57 I was born with one shrunken eye and never had the chance to see with both eyes. Been brought up in an area where people are not ready to accept my condition and my parents never cared to bring me to see an eye specialist to find out about the problem until i was 18 when my godmum brought me to see one even though it was too late. The doctor told me that there's nothing they can do accept for cosmetic surgery which needed me to wear an artificial eye. It took me quite sometime to think about it and i finally managed to make the artificial eye which gave me a new feeling, a new confidence that I never knew before and know the life that i've always wanted since small - to know what it feels like to be like others.. However, i had never blamed my parents for that but i guess it made me more stronger and independent and i am now working and have a good life as well as a good partner who's willing to accept me for who i am.. After all, we have to think positively that not everyone can accept the faith, and not everyone can survive with only one eye so we have to start looking at ourselves and know that we're special from others.

I was playing with an elastic belt and it shot back at me and destroyed my left eye. I remember going to kindergarten on the first day where all of our moms were with us, and I started rubbing my eye and it fell out. That is when school became an issue...
