Malita’s Squint Surgery
When this story began, eleven-year-old Malita’s eyes did not align, causing them to focus on different objects and for her brain to receive two different messages.
Eventually, her brain shut down the messages from one of her eyes so that she could no longer see out of it. As a result, Malita lost much of her depth perception and she struggled in school. She had a hard time drawing, one of her favorite things to do.
