Lenses Restore Teenager’s Sight
Kristian Cook, 14, from Wales, has regained his eyesight thanks to special contact lenses. He was sent to Moorfield’s Eye Hospital, London, where the special lenses were fitted, after his mother joined an Internet self-help group for people affected by his rare eye condition, Keratoconus. Who ever says the Internet is just a waste of time? Kristian’s case proves to me just how useful it can be.
Kristian is homeschooled by his mum and has already passed GCSEs in Maths and Physics, and hopes to go to Cambridge University. He says: They [the lenses] completely changed my life around. I could read and watch television, all the things you take for granted when you can see,”
“Before that, I couldn’t do anything at all really, I was basically blind.
Everything was turned completely round and now I can do everything I like.”
I wish him all the best in his education and for his lfe.
