World Diabetes Day.

Let’s pause and remember the amazing work of our Eye team led by Dr Johnson Kasso for over 20 years.

It began with blurry vision in her right eye, quickly followed by the left. A few months later, Salome could barely see.

She had been diagnosed with diabetes in 2012, which she manages carefully, but the rapid loss of sight caught her off guard. Tasks she once managed with ease became challenging.

“I would sit at home almost every day. I felt very lonely and sad that I couldn’t see the world,” she recalls.

Thanks to sight-restoring surgery at the Regional Eye Centre in Honiara, performed by Dr Claude Posala, Salome regained her vision.

“When the bandage came off, I thought I was in a movie. It was so bright that I became scared, but the doctor reassured me it was normal.”

Now, she’s back at work, reconnecting with friends, and looking forward to resitting her driving test.

Today on World Diabetes Day, Salome’s story reminds us why early detection and access to care matter — because no one should lose their sight to diabetes.
