Symptom narrative

I took the Moderna on 02/11/2021 2-4 days later I was getting headaches, small amount of lower vision of both eyes, and I put in my glaucoma eye drops to relieve the aching feeling. I took the second Moderna shot on 03/11/2021 at (redacted) Pharmacy and 3 or 4 days later, the symptoms came back, I thought maybe it?s my glasses. So I went to look at my prescriptions on my glasses to see if there was a problem. So I ordered new glasses on May 8th at (eye doctor), and asked for the doctor, I needed them to check my eyes and renew a prescription called (redacted). I had been diagnosed with cancer of the stomach and I had an operation date of May 13th 2021 I went to a cancer center in (redacted) for the operation and stayed in the hospital for several days. I was still complaining about my eyes at the time, and I was using three different eyedrops at the time. And they told me when I get released from the hospital to contact my eye doctor, which at the time was Dr. (redacted) at (redacted) and she checked my eyes and said I was going blind, I could not understand it, everything was going fine. My pressure was maintained and I was on eyedrops, my left eye had problems, but my right eye was 20/20 and was working fine, after being total discouraged with my Doctor. I changed to Dr. (redacted). And she performed several different operations. When i mentioned about the Moderna vaccine to Dr. (redacted), she discarded it, after all operations were complete, my left eye was totally blind and I can only see white clouds and blindness out of my right eye. And every time I mentioned anything about the vaccine, it was always discarded, no matter anyone I talk to, then I heard about some people having problems with their eyes after receiving the Moderna shot and I realized that I could be one of the individuals that could have been affected.
