I basically became insanely nearsighted in the sixth grade. I was mortified. I had no idea I couldn't see, the school nurse acted like it was a fatal disease because it occurred over the course of one year (which is why they check every year, right?). And my glasses made me feel uglier than I already felt. So. Many. Tears.

Totally. I was the only one in my class with glasses! It was like a disease. After I had my last transplant in 2017, the surgeon was mad at me that my vision wasn't better!
