'It's been eight years before I actually got physically diagnosed, nobody knew what it was, they just didn't know what happened and said it was one of fluky things that had happened. 'So I didn't have a proper diagnosis until November 2023, and it's only now that I'm learning more and more about it. Even the top ophthalmologist at the hospital said to me, 'I don't know enough about this, you need to go away and find out more information'.
