Soon after St Gabriel Primary student Sophia Kerr entered her online classes as per normal last Monday morning her father heard her yelling that she couldn’t see anything.
The man, Oliver Kerr, initially thought his daughter was experiencing problems with her internet connection but the child quickly clarified that her vision was gone.
The man told Stabroek News that he rushed his daughter to the Woodlands Hospital, where they were given the grim news that Sophia was completely blind in her right eye and that she would need emergency surgery only available in Trinidad to save the vision in her left eye.
