What were the symptoms I felt before going blind - Retinal Detachment

From headache to color blindness, learn about the symptoms I felt before going blind.
Hello guys, my name is Yani June, and I'm a blind girl from the Philippines. My left eye is totally blind and my right eye only has light perception, which means I can only see light like lightbulbs, flashlights, the sun and sky when it's morning. I lost my vision in 2018 due to an eye disorder called "Retinal Detachment".
I created this channel to share to you guys how I experience the world as a blind person.

Any cob web, sudden change in vision, new sudden floaters, flashing lights in vision, dark curtains in the vision take yourself straight to the opticians it can honestly save your sight ♥️

Wow, you were born blind in one eye and bad vision in the other, but you still excelled enough in your language skills to work in a call center..!!! Excellent inspirational story, thanks for sharing your journey 😊

[@blindfilipina]

Thank you.💛 It used to surprise my doctors that companies would hire me despite having poor eye condition. As for the language, I'm just lucky I was able to study and learn it in school.😇

@@blindfilipina you may have been lucky getting to go to school depending on your life, but succeeding in school that’s not luck, that’s determination and desire. Both of which you seem to have plenty of…😊

[@blindfilipina]

How are you now?

Good to see you back,,

[@shannensaito9746]

ur so strong po. I'm going through PVD and I already feel very depressed

[@cfam7436]

May I ask. How do feel when you lose your eye visions And how long is it takes you to cope with it? I would be very scary🥺

[@Patriciuspetitegirl]

:((( IM scared I dont wanna loose my vision

[@ed00r]

dang i feel sad you have these problems in life.. really unfortunate :/ I have retinal issue in my one eye but it evolved from previous trauma not from bad vision from birth or something.. I had one operation with a long recovery. And now im having problems again and i think i rather lose vision in that eye than go through another operation and recovery, and i stumble upon this video and feel bad cause you couldn't get the treatments I can and im just choosing not to

[@sophiesnooks]

Did u end up getting the surgery?? I haven’t had it yet but really don’t want to do it!!!

[@ed00r]

@@sophiesnooks I had it checked and it seems like my retina is thin in one place but the doctor said It's not a major issue since I could live my whole life without it tearing or it could tear, so I just have to notice things on time. Anyways my eye is all scared from stiches and lasers so I get paranoid that my retina detached lol, now I just have to check the eye once every 6 months. Other than that it's all good I guess

[@sauravsingh5096]

@@ed00r How is your vision on the eye which had thin retina? I have the same problem in one of my eye due to trauma

[@ed00r]

@@sauravsingh5096 well, I have a lot of scars from glass, and from laser that I got after surgery. I have a small black spot like a curtain after the retina detachet. So in general my vision blurry, misty, somewhat looking throught a plastic film. I can see a little better if i close the eye a little. My vision is like 0,4 in that eye

[@ed00r]

@@sauravsingh5096 what kind of an injury did you have, forgot to ask?

[@ninsvidena837]

I can relate to your experiences since I also became blind due to retinal detachment. Have you experienced seeing floaters? Those were the last things that I saw before everything went dark.

[@blindfilipina]

No, I didn't see floaters. Although, whenever I would look at a bright light, a black curtain like thing would appear and block my view. How long have you been blind? If you don't mind me asking.

[@ninsvidena837]

@@blindfilipina I became totally blind in 2000. I was 16 but it started when I was younger.

[@Skinbodycarestyle]

@@ninsvidena837 your first sign was eye floaters so how much time it took ?

[@ninsvidena837]

@@Skinbodycarestyle took me few years.

[@Skinbodycarestyle]

@@ninsvidena837 can you be precise ? Because I also have eye fosters.

[@BlendedFamilyMan]

What was the time span between the initial headaches you mentioned at the start of the video and the diagnosis you got at the hospital?

[@blindfilipina]

I had headaches for about a year before I was diagnosed. I kept ignoring the headaches, and when my doctor detected the problem, he said that my retinal tear was already large that it had to be reattached asap.

Are you still on KZbin?

[@jonnalynmanalo2895]

kumusta na po paningin nyo ngayon? bumalik po ba after treatment?

[@aj_aka_alan]

So, your surgery was not successful? What happened?

[@collegeslam5158]

How did you post in the comments if you’re blind 🤔

[@residentialpsycho1075]

Screen readers and other technology usually.

[@footynutguy]

Thanks for sharing your story. Did you have good eyesight before this started?

[@blindfilipina]

left eye is blind since birth. Right eye wasn't really good. I was near sighted and used to recognize people from a distance based on their built and clothes, however it was good enough for me to become independent.

[@xyperuzjunio2563]

Same case po here.

Talaga, Retinal Detachment rin?
