Eye Surgery to keep me from going Blind

Hello! My name is Karen, I’m in my 50s with a wonderful family, and great friends. Sadly, I am going blind. 

I have always had difficulties with my vision, from a young age I remember how blurry the world was. Around 5, I was prescribed glasses.

I was shocked with how bad my eyes had gotten when I went to eye specialist in Brunswick Ga. I have completely lost my eye site in my right eye. The surgery is to balance out my eyes so by fixing the bad eye will help the better eye because the difference between the two eyes is pulling the other eye down.

I have astigmatism glaucoma and now cataracts also have a birth defect that I that makes my pupil not round. I also have what they call a lazy eye right eye. And in my good eye I have a stigmatism and glaucoma but not as bad like the other eye. And I also am nearsighted that's why I wear trifocals.

To fix my eyes from getting worse I have to have a laser eye surgery that is not covered my insurance and it’s very expensive. I need to raise 5,000 dollars the cost of the surgery. It is also important to note that this surgery will NOT fix my vision! It will only stop the progression of the disease. My eyesight will never be restored, but they can try stop the disease from anymore damage and help repair some of my lost vision. I will have to continue to wear glasses for the rest of my life.

I don’t want to stop seeing my great-sons grow. I want to see them and all of their milestones. I want to be able to see them take their first steps and see them grow up. 
I want to continue to see dog, and his happy face and wagging tail. I want to see my husband every day. I want to be able to drive and not depend one anymore to have to drive me around. I am so scared, and seeing my vision decline month-after-month is the most terrifying thing I have ever encountered in my life.

The doctor was not able to tell me how bad my progression is, but did say it is severe. That I’m a very complicated that he never had a patient like me before.

The Money raised will go to: 
Laser Eye surgery 
The surgery to repair some of the damage. 
Medication for post-surgery. 
Funds to help pay for bills while I recover.
A new prescription of lenses. 

Any help would be greatly appreciated from the bottom of my heart and God bless you.
