My name is Saeed and I am going to have
my right eye removed next week. I have never thought that this
could happen to me, and I am having big difficulty dealing with
it. I found your website and it was such a tremendous help just
before my surgery. Thank you for having done a great job by
sharing your experience and letting people doing the same thing.
Your upbeat personality and the way of looking at this trauma
has already helped me a lot.
Thank you again for a great
website. ~ Saeed
Jay, I was so pleased to get your website
from my ocularist. I lost my left eye to a melanoma June 2003.I
am an RN and went back to work as soon as I got my great prosthetic.
I go to your website all the time. It makes me realize I am
not alone. I have not met anyone who has had this surgery.
Thanks. ~ Joan
Just wanted to say thanks for your site.
It has helped me a lot.
Thank you ~ David
It was very nice to find this website.
I lost my right eye at the age of 3 years. My eye had ruptured
in the womb and they just couldn't save it, so after many surgeries,
they removed it. I consider myself lucky. I have been going
to some very good ocularists ever since and what I found out
unfortunately is that you have to make sure that you make it
back every 3-5 yrs. or you face many problems. I am now and
am now going through processes to correct that. I'll make it
through though. It was nice to read everyone's stories and I'm
glad that there is a site for people who have experienced this
or are going to share.
Thank You, ~ Christine

Welcome to LostEye.com

Have you lost an eye, or about you about to lose an eye? Don't worry,
it's not the end of the world. Give it a couple of weeks and it will
probably turn into a mere inconvenience that you don't even think about
very often, at least that's the way it has been with me and thousands
of others who have lost an eye.
Four days after the turn of the New Millennium, my optometrist told
me that something didn't look right, and that I should consult with
an ophthalmologic surgeon. I was then diagnosed with choroidal melanoma,
which is a serious cancer within the eye. The cancer wasn't very big,
but it was very close to my optical nerve and melanoma is not something
you want to mess around with. So, within days, I had made the decision
-- at the very active age of 35 -- to go with the best odds and have
the eye removed.
Believe it or not, five days later I was back at work at my law
practice, and now the fact that I only have one eye is barely an inconvenience,
and not even something I notice unless I think about it. My driving
isn't any different (I give myself a little more space for the cars
ahead of me), and my life isn't any different. I haven't even noticed
any significant loss of depth perception. In other words, life has returned
to pretty much what it was before I went in for the surgery.
But I know, and I mean really know -- personally -- how stressful
losing an eye can be. Thus, I have created this completely free, noncommercial
website for the information and support of those who have recently lost
an eye, or who may lose an eye due to surgery, disease, etc.

One Vision
OneVision is the UK's only registered Telephone Helpline offering
information, support and understanding for people who have lost the
sight in one eye.
It was set up in 1998, originally as a local service for people living
in Northamptonshire. But it quickly became a national support service
as more and more people and organisations latched onto the fact that
it was the only service of its kind in the UK!
Independent charity status was obtained in 2002.
OneVision is experienced in helping people come to terms, and cope
with visual impairment. Its backbone, is a strong UK-wide network of
volunteers with personal knowledge of sight loss in one eye (from all
types of causes). They offer invaluable one-to-one support to new callers
to the Helpline seeking information, encouragement or reassurance from
someone who really knows what it is like.
They are still a very small operation, looking to secure funding to
enable them to grow their service. Meanwhile, hundreds of people each
year ring the Helpline -- pointed in their direction by such organisations
as the Royal National Institute for the Blind, Moorfield Eye Hospital
in London and the National Artificial Eye Service.
