Efforts to help Hammond's sight underway

Friends of Century resident Eddie Hammond have launched a fundraising campaign to help raise $10,000 to get Hammond a pair of glasses that will give him the ability to see again.

Hammond, 57, suffered an eye injury when he was 12-years old that caused glumacoma in his left eye. Years later the glumacoma moved to the right eye.

“Four years ago I had a retina detachment in my right eye that left me totally blind in my right eye,” Hammond said. “I have very limited vision in my left eye and as a result I can only see the world around me in a blur of shapes, colors and motions.”
