I'm a 20 year old Belgian electronics student. About 2 years ago I was diagnosed with a rare genetic eye disorder that is turning me blind. The only treatment was an expensive experimental operation that would leave me in pain for a long while and only slowed down the proces. Being in revalidation for so long caused me to fail my year at college, costing me additional money.
Now a good 2 years after the operation on just one of my eyes, everything is going okay. My operated eye is doing as great as it possibly could. However I need to go to the specialist monthly to check up on both of my eyes, waiting untill they decide for the next move.
