Even if there is only one eye left,

Look ahead,

Life is always infinite!

The light went out. In the dark, Xin Pupil flicked her finger from her eyes, and the pupil of her right eye instantly emitted dazzling blue light.

This scene is like a special effect, so that people who have seen it can't help but sigh "too cool", and it also makes Xin Yan unprepared for the hot search.

Xin Tong's right eye is actually her own special artificial eye. "This idea comes from a blogger abroad. I saw that the titanium alloy prosthetic eye he made was very handsome, and I felt that as a nominal prosthetic eye producer, I could also make a different prosthetic eye. "

She put a small chip that can emit light into her eyes and operated the magnetic light control switch in her hand, forming a dreamy effect with her fingers crossed and her eyes shining.

Being a nominal eye producer is beyond Xin Tong's ideal-if her eyes were not removed after a car accident, she might become a professional dancer. However, life has no "ifs".

She named herself Xin Tong. "It means new eyes and a new beginning!" She smiled and explained to the global person reporter.

"I cried after the prosthetic eye flew out."

Before 20 13, Xin Tong never thought that his life would be associated with artificial eyes.

This summer vacation, she and her family drove from Inner Mongolia to Shanxi to visit her grandmother. Before leaving, she was full of expectation, put on delicate makeup and beautiful clothes.

When I got off the bus, the brakes failed halfway and the car rolled over. When she regained consciousness, she was already lying in the hospital. Before she came to her senses, the doctor came and said that her eyeball was broken and had to be removed immediately.

She began to learn dance at the age of 8 and majored in dance in college. She has appeared on the stage of large-scale dance performances many times. "What about my dance career? What should I do with my future life? " At the moment when she learned the bad news, many pictures flashed through her mind, but she finally signed the consent form for the operation in tears.

/kloc-when she was 0/8 years old, she really understood that sentence: you never know which will come first, tomorrow or accident.

After the operation, Xin Yan installed an artificial eye, but it didn't bring her much comfort. She just feels "uncomfortable and ugly". She was immersed in sadness, sleepless all night, suffering physically and mentally, and even wanted to end her life.

But at the thought of her family's tears, she felt that she could not be so selfish. "I must come out now and accept myself. Monocular is no big deal. " She constantly gives herself psychological construction and actively adjusts her state.

Six months after the car accident, she got up the courage to go back to school and tried to start her "normal" life again.

But nothing is easy.

The most difficult thing to adapt to is the lack of space and three-dimensional sense: pouring water will dump the cup, going down the stairs will be empty, crossing the road requires a turn of 180 degrees, and playing badminton can't catch the ball at all.

This also means that Xin Tong, as a dancer, can't do many actions that require somersaults and jumps. Knocking, twisting, and falling have become commonplace for her.

Xin pupil is dancing.

Once in class, Xin Tong was practicing the "horizontal rotation" movement, but the rotation was too fast and the prosthetic eye flew out. She quickly stopped and subconsciously covered her right eye. "I'm worried that others will be afraid to see that I have no eyeballs."

After finding the prosthetic eye, she rushed to the bathroom, washed it and put it on again. Back to the dormitory after class, she couldn't help crying. "Why is God so unfair to me? Why should I lose an eye and face so much trouble? " All the grievances came to mind instantly, but she could only digest them by herself.

Since then, Xin Tong has paid great attention to the state of the prosthetic eye, but embarrassment is inevitable.

Once, she went to an amusement park with her friends. While sitting on the roller coaster, she remembered that she was wearing artificial eyes. She immediately covered her right eye tightly with her hand, for fear that the prosthetic eye would fly out again accidentally. "I was so worried that my mouth turned white."

On another occasion, she had graduated and started to be a dance teacher. After class, she sent her children out and said goodbye to her parents, only to find that they always looked back at themselves.

"I thought at the time, is the child so reluctant to part with me? I'm very happy. Then my colleague looked at me and reminded me that my prosthetic eye was crooked. When I look in the mirror, I don't know when the prosthetic eye has reached the outer corner of my eye, which looks like strabismus. I suddenly flushed. "

Xin pupil has a false eye, and the right eye can't blink.

After a long time, Xin pupil gradually got used to the existence of artificial eyes. She prefers to remember those warm-hearted moments rather than embarrassing things.

What impressed me most was that several children aged three or four naively asked her in class, "Teacher, why can't you blink your eyes?" She replied, "Because I was injured. Can you stop asking the teacher in the future? The teacher will be sad if you ask again. "

She didn't expect that this sentence was actually remembered by these children. Later, a new child came to class and asked her about her eyes, so they told the new child not to ask. There are also "high emotional intelligence" children who encourage her: "I think the teacher is very beautiful, just like Princess Aisha!"

These unexpected kindness gave Xin Tong strength, and let her walk out of the darkest moment of her life.

"Can you help me make a pair of beautiful eyes?"

Xin Tong came up with the idea of becoming an artificial eye producer on 20 19.

At one time, she always thought that "there may not be many people like me in the world" and "it is normal to wear artificial eyes without blinking". It was not until this year that she joined a group chat with a monocular crowd that she realized that her thoughts for many years were wrong.

"Generally speaking, after wearing an artificial eye, the eyes can actually turn or blink. The reason why I have this situation is because I am seriously injured and my eyes are not in good condition. "

Also because she doesn't know the situation, Xin Yan's artificial eyes, which she has worn for many years, are not suitable for her. This made her eyes inflamed from time to time, and also caused a thick layer of polyps on the surface of her eyes.

So, she had to do another operation and take out the eye surface. "Local anesthesia", "three hours" and "quite painful" are her memories of the operation.

Xin Tong found that many monocular people in group chat were also troubled by inappropriate artificial eyes, and felt that the artificial eyes were too fake and felt inferior after wearing them. She thought: Can I make a better artificial eye to make everyone feel comfortable and confident?

After careful consideration, she finally quit her job as a dance teacher and studied the technique of making uprising eyes instead. Her family didn't support her decision, thinking that she had been studying dance for many years, and making false eyes didn't fit her major.

The voice of doubt did not discourage Xin pupil. "There is no harm in learning one more trade. Even if you don't succeed in the end, you can get the dance back. I have been caught in the rain myself, and I want to hold an umbrella for others. "

The process of learning to make artificial eyes is not easy. Xin Tong should not only fully understand the characteristics of Asian eyeball structure, but also cultivate sensitivity to color and learn relevant art knowledge.

She practiced every step for thousands of times, taking herself as the experimental object, constantly trying and improving, and accumulating experience bit by bit. Hard work pays off. In 2022, she finally opened a customized artificial eye studio in Beijing.

Xin Tong is making artificial eyes for customers.

When I first started looking for Xin Tong as a false eye, some people didn't trust her craftsmanship.

"There is a 28-year-old one-eyed girl who customized her artificial eye in order to appear at the wedding in the most beautiful way. I have been to many artificial eye customization institutions before, but every time I go with hope, I am disappointed and feel that those artificial eyes are too fake, so I am dubious. "

Xin Tong understands the girl's mood and completes her artificial eye seriously. As soon as the girl put it on, she jumped up and cried excitedly with Xin Tong. "She said that she didn't expect the prosthetic eye to be so lifelike, and the big stone in her heart could finally be put down. I also have an unspeakable joy in my heart. "

In this small studio, the bride-to-be is not the only one who feels surprised.

Tian Tian, a 6-year-old girl, had her eyeball removed due to illness, and her father brought her from Guizhou to Beijing to have her artificial eye fitted. The first thing she said when she saw Xin Tong was, "Aunt, can you help me to be a Cosmetic Contact Lenses? My eyes are not beautiful enough now. " After putting on Xin Tong's artificial eye, Tian Tian took a long photo in front of the mirror, then ran over to hug Xin Tong and said happily, "The eyes are so beautiful, I really like them."

The 57-year-old uncle Zhang has been very sad since the accident because of his accidental fall. After wearing Xin Tong's artificial eye, his eyes will blink, and he immediately picked up the video of his mobile phone and friends and relatives excitedly. "Look, my eyes can't tell it's fake!"

There are many details to consider when making artificial eyes, such as iris color and red blood sample.

Many monocular friends think that the job of artificial eye producer is of great significance. "If the appearance of a monocular person is not improved, there will be more restrictions on finding a job and talking about people. Although a good prosthetic eye can't restore vision, it can better remedy facial defects and restore self-confidence to a great extent. This is very important. "

Exchange sincerity for sincerity.

After the video "Glowing Eyes" became popular, many people wanted to ask Xin Tong to customize "The Same Eye", but she refused one by one.

"One is that this kind of artificial eye is relatively heavy, and the other is that there are certain requirements for the thickness of the artificial eye piece during the production process, which is not suitable for many people to wear. They want to buy it, but I have always advised everyone not to buy it. "

Xin Tong's special artificial eye can emit white light, blue light, red light and other different colors.

On the issue of artificial eyes, Xin Tong has his own insistence.

She thinks that the most important thing for a prosthetic eye is comfort. "I am a wearer, and I know better that if I wear a false eye that makes me uncomfortable, I can't do anything well on this day. Some people wear artificial eyes with inappropriate shapes all the year round, which leads to irreversible deformation of the lower eyelid. Even surgery can't restore the eyes to their previous appearance. "

The second important thing is loyalty. Everyone's iris color, white eye color and even red blood are different. In order to achieve a more realistic effect, the pupil needs to draw a little hand-painted artificial eye than the wearer's real eye. When you do this job, you should choose a time, preferably 10 from morning to 5: 00 in natural light. If the light is bad, she will pause and would rather wait until the next day to continue.

An artificial eye usually needs to focus for three to five days to achieve satisfactory results.

However, the completion of the artificial eye is not over. Xinyan also has the habit of visiting customers. If the other person thinks that the prosthetic eye is well worn, her hanging heart will be put down; If the other person says something is uncomfortable, she immediately says that she needs to make adjustments.

She doesn't want anyone to go back to their old ways and wear uncomfortable artificial eyes to force them, which will bring secondary harm to their eyes. In exchange for sincerity, slowly, many customers became friends with her.

Xin Tong's small studio is a place where many people regain their confidence.

This also makes Xin Tong more grateful for life. She knows that the market price of an artificial eye is 5000 to 1000 yuan, which some families with difficulties cannot afford. So she launched a campaign to make artificial eyes for 10 monocular people for free. "If you can help one, it is one."

After the activity, she decided to provide a free quota every month for children from poor families under the age of 12 or poor elderly people over the age of 60, as well as public security, fire fighting and other people injured in the line of duty.

Xin Tong heard many praises and met some unpleasant comments. She doesn't want to hear people say, "It must be good to make money as a fake eye producer. What a good job! " On hearing this, her heart began to resist communicating with each other again.

"If my artificial eye is good, I will naturally have income. But my initial intention is not only to make money, but more importantly, to do something tangible for this group from the perspective of monocular people. "

Her dream is to find opportunities to study technology abroad, to make better and more realistic artificial eyes in the future, and to help more people regain their confidence.

Now, Xinyan puts on her artificial eye, dances, keeps fit, shoots cool short videos, encourages monocular people in pain with actions, and responds to herself lying in a hospital bed at the age of 18: Even if there is only one eye left, looking forward, life will always be infinite!
