Imagine living in fear of losing your sight every single day. As horrifying as that sounds, it was a reality for Laura Parker.
Laura, from Manchester, was just 41 when she developed a fast-growing cataract. The small transparent disc caused her vision to cloud over and left her almost blind in her left eye in a matter of months.
“My vision was deteriorating on a daily basis and it took a huge toll on my mental well-being,” she said. “Vision is so precious, and I could see that I was losing mine and also losing my independence.”
