This beautiful young woman has even landed a modelling deal.
A young Glasgow woman was taunted by school bullies after losing her eye to save her life as a four year old.
But she says the comments have since made her "stronger" - and didn't stop her pursuing her horse riding hobby. Katie, a part-time golf club supervisor, who lives in Glasgow, said: "Growing up at school I got called names."Or people would say 'one eyes looking to the shop and one eyes looking at you'."I honestly didn't think I'd have done the things I have done.Katie's mum, Gillian Elliott, 43, spotted her pupils were changing shape and that her eye would get "gunky" and decided to take her to the Royal London Hospital.
Following the operation Katie underwent chemotherapy to treat the cancer cells in her body and will be cancer free for 15 years in May this year.
