She said: ⁘I always think there are people far worse off than you, and I'm just grateful I can still see but we don't know what could happen in the future.⁘
Over the next six years Lisa went on to see a number of eye specialists as she strived out what was happening with her eye.
She said: ⁘Luckily my left eye was really good with 20/20 vision and the only thing I struggled with after that first incident was being able to read. I had scans, dye put into my eyeball, but the doctors were split as to whether it was the trauma from the rope or something else that had caused the haemorrhage at the back of my eye.⁘
Determined to seek more answers, Lisa decided to see another doctor who confirmed that the peripheral vision in her left eye had completely gone. She then learned about the condition NAION - but it took until November 2023 for Lisa to receive a diagnosis.
