💙 An AK Warrior Story of Strength, Connection & Hope 💙 Acanthamoeba Keratitis (AK) is a battle few understand—until they find themselves in the fight of their lives. Corey Kelly knows this struggle all too well. What began as a simple eye irritation in December 2021 quickly became a relentless battle for her vision and quality of life. Months of misdiagnoses, painful treatments, and uncertainty led her to an experimental procedure that ultimately helped her overcome AK. But what truly carried her through was resilience, a newfound home, and an unexpected companion—Brutus, a one-eyed rescue bulldog who understood her pain in ways no one else could. Corey’s journey is a testament to strength, advocacy, and the power of human connection. Through her experience, she crossed paths with others who had walked the same road—including all AK warriors around the world. AK has a way of forging connections between warriors who never expected to meet, but who understand each other in a way few can. Her story is a powerful reminder: ✅ If you wear contact lenses, never expose them to water. ✅ Awareness can save vision and lives. ✅ Hope is real—Hang On, Pain Ends. Let’s amplify Corey’s voice and continue pushing for education, research, and prevention. No one should have to endure this journey alone. 📖 Read more about Corey and Brutus: 🔗 Brutus the One-Eyed Bulldog https://lnkd.in/ezyZRX-G #AcanthamoebaKeratitis #AKWarrior #Hope #PatientAdvocacy #EyeHealth #ContactLensSafety #BrutusTheBulldog
