Partially sighted sports therapist Lloyd Davies joins Rothery Health .
In late November 2013, at the age of just 20, Lloyd Davies complained of suffering from slightly blurred vision in his left eye. He put up with it for a short while and when it showed no signs of improvement he went to the local optician.
By Christmas 2013, he had lost his vision in his left eye. Barely a month had passed from the time that he first complained of blurred eyesight to losing it almost completely.
In January 2014, he was given the devastating news that they had found the cause of his blindness and he was diagnosed as suffering from Lebers Hereditary Optical Neuritis (LHON) which is a genetic mutation of the eye.
Sure enough, shortly after the diagnosis, the sight in his right eye started to deteriorate. He stopped driving in April 2014 and in May 2014, he was issued a Certificate of Visual Impairment (CVI). He is now classed as being Legally Blind.
He has had many of his life choices taken away from him, yet he remains hopeful for the future. His dream of a Military career has been ripped from him and that has proved to be one of the most difficult things for him to come to terms with. However he is enjoying the challenge of sports therapy and despite losing his Vision he is utilising his sensation of touch to his advantage.What an inspirational character .Call him to book an appointment
