A Newcastle woman diagnosed with a sight-threatening conditions in her 30s has got a job at the clinic where her sight was saved.
Tracey Coyle was 32 when she was diagnosed with cataracts, a condition that can cause blurry vision and lead to blindness if left untreated. Usually, people develop cataracts beyond the age of 60 due to age-related changes in the eye, but Tracey first reported symptoms in her late 20s.
After Tracey was diagnosed by her optician, she was referred to Newmedica Newcastle for surgery on both eyes. And now that she's had the surgery, she's taken on a job as a healthcare assistant at the clinic, ahead of studying to be a nurse from September.
