“I woke up and I couldn’t see with my right eye” Barbara Chepkoech explains how she lost her sight in right eye (Photos)

Barbara Chepkoech popularly known as Waridi lost her eyesight in her right eye after ripping the transparent layer on the front of the eye.

Waridi went to sleep when she could perfectly see with both of her eyes only to wake up in the morning to discover she couldn’t see with her right eye.

The mother of three who relocated to America years ago, says that she started screaming when she woke up and she couldn’t see with her right eye.

“We take a lot of things for granted. I am always thankful but not enough. Gods grace love provision protection …good health happiness love our families and friends….

“Today I woke up and I couldn’t see with my right eye. I started screaming and my dad says you are probably tired … I had started cleaning my yard last night. I say no it feels like I have glass in my eye..” Said Waridi in part.

Waridi revealed that her cornea (the transparent layer forming the front of the eye) was damaged, she was told this when she was taken to the hospital.

The cornea acts as the eye’s outermost lens. It functions like a window that controls and focuses the entry of light into the eye.[sic]

“So I rush to hospital. I have ripped my cornea. I wear glasses and when I don’t I strain my eyes so with everything I did yesterday my eyes got dry and according to the doctor my eyelid stuck to my eye and when I woke up I ripped it. I have felt pain but this is all new it’s better now that I got treatment,” Waridi said.
