When I was 3 yrs old I was almost completely blind because of an eye disease called Keratoconus, which is a film that covers the eye(s); the effects of the disease is blurred vision, double vision, poor night vision, and in some cases, gradual loss of vision. I was also in Foster care, but I thank God because my auntie and uncle rescued me from Foster care by taking me out and adopting me. I also thank God because with implants and surgery, I can now see!!!
