Eye Will Survive – Debbie Atkinson’s story

Our last blog – Losteye.com – What Can I Say? was written by guest blogger Debbie Atkinson.

I feel so pleased to have come across Debbie Atkinson’s story.  As well as writing about her experiences with Losteye.com Debbie has also given permission to link to her website and her own eye loss story, Eye Will Survive.

Debbie lost sight in her eye long before she had her eye surgically removed.  Her story beautifully illustrates that loss of sight in one eye is something people can quickly adjust to.

The surgical removal of an eye creates another major set of challenges.  Debbie’s frank description of her complex feelings during this time may help  others going through a similar experience.

I was also very interested in the emotions that Debbie describes during the process of getting a new eye made. 

I’m sure others will relate to her story and get hope from her positive experience of wearing a well made prosthetic eye.

Thanks Debbie for your courage and willingness to share with others on the journey.
