Naasieka Hamman

"She had just celebrated her first birthday. Sand had blown into her eye and an irritation started . She was taken to our GP who then said that we should take her to Red Cross hospital. A scan was done at the RCH and to their findings she had inflammation in her eye. She needed to go for an operation at the age of 1 years old.

The irritaion had caused a cataract to appear over the pupil of her eye. Since then it deteriorated rapidly. When starting day care kids began teasing her. This made her an introvert and she bacame very unhappy and sad.

We herard by work of mouth of Vida Trumpelmann at Red Cross Hospital. We went onto the website and found it very appealing. The website made me anxious, and that is how we got to meet Vida.

Since she was given the scleral lens all she wants to do is to look at herself in the mirror. This has made her so much happier and confident about herself.

Our heartfelt thanks to Vida and for giving our daughter a second chance and a new perspective to life.

May you go from strength to stregth... The Hamman family"
