I Lost My Eye to Cancer - Peripheral Vision Loss After Losing My Eye - Test Your Peripheral Vision

- Losing your eye means a loss in peripheral vision, but not as much as you think. And how much peripheral vision you keep after you lose an eye, depends on how deep set your eyes are and how big your nose is! The shape of you face determines your range of peripheral vision.
On February 22nd 2022, I had my left eye surgically removed due to ocular melanoma, a rare eye cancer that affects about 2500 people a year in the USA. This video documents my recovery and healing after enucleation.
Because of the large size of the tumor (16mm wide by 7mm deep), the closeness to my center of vision and my retina detachment due to fluid leaking from the tumor, I was a poor candidate for brachytherapy ( radiation plaque). Radiation damage would had left me functionally blind in that eye along with probable cataracts and glaucoma.
Once I knew I was removing my eye (enucleation) I bought an eye patch to practice one-eyed living. I quickly discovered that I had full depth of perception with only one eye.
I bought a pair of swim goggles and blackened out the left frame. Then I waited for the sun to go down. I I caught my first wave easily and surfed like I had two eyes.
I knew then that everything was going to be fine. One eyed living would be grand.
But losing the eye is the easy part. The hard part is the lifelong risk of metaization in the liver and lungs. That's what makes this cancer so deadly. It likes to spread in the blood and is particularly fond of taking up residency in the liver.
There are no cures at the moment. So getting metastization is a game of whack-a mole where you keep treating the lesions while they keep trying to come back.
As of this date, July 4th, 2022 I am cancer free.

Thanks for this video. I haven't watched the previous videos yet...regarding your cancer. I watched your video about Adobe Illustrator many years ago and it helped me SO much and I made a TON of satisfying graphic art because of it. I stayed subscribed to you for some reason, even after you stopped making videos for a while. I feel that, generally, you post content that will always be useful no matter the situation.
Thanks for hanging in there. I will get around to making more graphic design tutorials for sure. But right now, my main jam is ocular melanoma and living with one eye. Its so new and fresh and I'm learning daily. It's quite an adventure. I also plan on doing some videos on health and fitness which a deep passion of mine.
@@claybutler I'm HERE for it!
This just made me feel like I have a huge nose. Thanks for all your insight. Keep inspiring!!!
That's my intent! Hiding body shaming content inside inspiring cancer survivor videos. Glad it's finally working! ;)
Thankyou your video on visual hallucinations helped me feel better about it thank goodness I'm not going crazy 😊
You're welcome! Nobody tells you about this, so at first you think you're going crazy.
Fascinating!
Great video, I just came across your videos and I've enjoyed it so far.. I recently started driving please can you make a video on how you deal with driving and overcoming fear on the highways?
Funny you should ask. I shot the video already. Just behind on posting. Thanks for the encouragement!
Very interesting!
Thanks!
Ok that's 3 people with one eye let's see how many more we can find super agents.
