Thanks to your help, Eric had surgery on his eyes. Four years ago the boy underwent heavy treatment and surgery to remove a brain tumor. The tumor was located in such a way that it was impossible to remove it without damaging the optic nerve. The boy had double vision and strabismus. After the surgery the position of Erik's eyes changed, became more symmetrical, and the double vision stopped.

"The doctors say that in 3-4 months it will be possible to assess the result after surgery. But even now there are positive changes. Even Eric's handwriting is better now, he used to almost lie down on the table to focus his gaze. Now he sits up straight, and when he walks, he looks straight ahead, no need to tilt his head. A huge thank you to everyone who responded, we couldn't have done it without you," says Anna, Eric's mother.

Thank you for helping Eric keep his eyesight!

About the campaign

Eric has complications from brain surgery. Needs eye surgery

Four years ago a serious cancer disease turned the boy's life and the whole family upside down. Eric was diagnosed with a malignant neoplasm of the brain - a medulloblastoma of the cerebellum. The tumor was located in such a way that it was impossible to remove it without damaging the optic nerve. Brain surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation therapy saved the boy's life. But he is still struggling with severe complications from the treatment.

Thanks to intensive rehabilitation courses and sheer willpower, Eric has learned to walk and talk again. But no amount of lessons or procedures helped restore normal vision - he needed an operation. To focus his eyes, the boy has to tilt his head, otherwise everything is double in his eyes. When walking, Eric lifts his head up to look ahead, and his gait becomes unsteady and unsteady. The constant tilting of his head hurts his posture and causes scoliosis.

Let's help Eric preserve his sight and see the world in all its beauty!
