Grand Prize

About this film: “This video provides a very brief look into my experience with keratoconus – a condition that progressed so slowly, my whole life was essentially out of focus before I realized what was wrong. The time leading to my diagnosis was incredibly difficult and frustrating. Untreated, KC altered who I was and how I interacted with my world. I’m still unlearning and unpacking parts of the experience, but I’ve grown significantly. It’s surprising that a condition so few know about can have such a marked impact on someone’s life. I appreciate NKCF’s invitation to share this story and hope the video increases awareness, so others feel informed and encouraged to be more proactive in seeking help.” – Rachel
