A 22-year-old Filipino individual has gone viral after posting a video of how she puts in an artificial eye after a diagnosis of stage two eye cancer.
"At that time, if you shined a light into my right eye, you could see that the color of my pupil was already fading," said Adeva.on my right side. There were instances where I would bump into someone on my right because I couldn't see them.
"My retina didn't detach on its own. There was something pushing it from behind. When we checked via ultrasound, we found that there was already a 13-millimeter tumor growing on my eye," said Adeva.to prevent the mass from metastasizing, Viral Press reported. Dr. Gary Mercado, Adeva's ophthalmologist, said,"She had a choroidal melanoma half the size of her eye. It's a type of tumor that grows from the pigment cells in our eyes," as Viral Press also noted.Adeva decided to go through with the surgery. She asked her family, friends, and fans to pray for a successful surgery, Viral Press said.After a few weeks of post-operative recovery, she returned to her ophthalmologist's office to be fitted for an artificial eye.
"I didn't feel sad, I didn't cry, because I knew I could just get a prosthetic eye and it would look normal."
