Hello, my name is J, my story is quite common I suppose but I would like to summarize it quite briefly, basically I am going to lose my left eye... or, little by little I am losing it. It all started when I was a child due to a genetic defect in which I developed myopia, the problem is that it was only in one eye and this is known as "amblyopia" where the dominant eye is the one that is in charge of practically everything, so at the age of 5/6 years old, in vision tests I never realized that I couldn't see well with one eye. The problem with this is that the brain "deactivates" the bad eye and loses visual acuity. And yes, it was basically malpractice on the part of my pediatrician when I was a child... when I was a teenager, someone else saw me and immediately discovered this, prescribed me glasses and that's where the problem seems to go. The thing is that everything was going "well" but the brain continued to prioritize the vision of the good eye, so it saw increasingly "darker" on the left side. This is so serious that apparently it affected my left ear since the doctor explained to me that it is normal for hearing acuity to be lost due to this. Concerned about going blind (And deaf.) I went to several doctors and they prescribed the typical eye patch, but it didn't really work for me. I work as a delivery driver, so it affects me enormously if I lose my sight, basically I won't be able to work anymore. That's why I'm asking for money (I still work, since I still see depth well with glasses and so on, the doctor checked it.) so I can earn some money (150 dollars a month.) And save some of that (30/40 dollars.) but the motorcycle entails expenses, so it is difficult. And the worst thing is that I had an accident on the motorcycle working in which, in addition to dislocating a finger (that's nothing, although again I didn't realize it so it "healed itself."), I was left with a chronic pain in the lower back due to an apparent "small loss of fluid from the spinal discs" and on top of that it was the last straw that caused me to start developing retinal detachment in my bad eye... and more and more "white flashes" appear "in vision, which is basically the detached retina moving. I am not someone who is very sensitive, all my life I have forged a somewhat introverted and solitary character, but even so, I am really afraid of what could happen if I can't pay for the treatment, which is a horrible operation where they puncture your eye and They inject oil to then "glue" the retina with a laser, and the other for amblyopia is a stimulation technique using electrodes to "activate" and force adaptation, which apparently gives good results but is not even available in my country... so you would have to travel and it is extremely expensive. That is why I am asking for some voluntary donation, of any amount since I myself did not earn much despite working every day, so any "tip" is a caress to the heart... obviously if you consider that to be the case. fair. Since there are hundreds of people here with even sadder stories, but I'm already desperate, everything hurts, I have no courage and I don't know what to do, and somehow I'm alone in this fight that may end... badly... Thank you for reading
