倘若你每天睜開雙眼，看得到窗外的陽光，房間裡的物件和身邊的至親，請好好珍惜，因為這一切都並非必然。青光眼是香港頭號致盲眼疾，現時有約9.6萬名患者，當中約14%最終會失明。近年來，青光眼患者漸趨年輕化，伍兆聰便是其中一位。

伍兆聰18歲證實患上青光眼，雖然積極配合治療，但病情一直反覆。由於視覺神經衰退，伍兆聰眼前的一切逐漸退色，只剩下光和暗。26歲那年，兆聰再也看不到任何東西，整個世界從此陷入黑暗。

「打擊實在太大。當時我從事資訊科技工作，沒有雙眼，一切理想和抱負全部落空⋯⋯」雙目失明，伍兆聰把自己也封鎖在家裡，過了兩年隱蔽人的生活。「不想接觸任何人，騙朋友說自己在內地工作無暇回香港。因為按電梯掣也有困難，索性連大門也不出⋯⋯」

兆聰的情況令家人憂心忡忡。直到兆聰姊姊從電台節目中得悉香港失明人互聯會提供培訓予新失明人士，才讓全家人滿布陰霾的生活重現曙光。互聯會服務由家居細節著手，幫助兆聰適應環境，善用其他感官代替視覺，配合適當工具獨立處理煮食、用電、爐火安全等生活瑣事，摸索其中竅門，逐步帶他走出屋門，踏出大廈，打開心扉。數個月後，兆聰欣喜地告訴家人，自己已能從九龍的居所獨自乘車探望身在港島區的朋友。

香港失明人互聯會亦透過多種的興趣班、訓練以及公開表演，發展視障人士個人的潛能。在家人的支持下，伍兆聰接受長跑訓練，並與領跑員成功完成半馬拉松賽事，重拾自信。

從起初無法接受失明事實、意志消沉，到能夠獨自上街、參加半馬賽事、加入高爾夫球隊、充滿自信地參加歌唱比賽、繼而重投社會，擔任系統管理員職位⋯⋯ 伍兆聰憑著個人的堅毅和家人鼓勵，終能克服視力的障礙並為社會繼續作出貢獻。相信健全人士亦能從他身上獲得啟發，學習不屈不撓的精神，走出人生低谷，積極迎接挑戰。

Every morning when you open your eyes to see the sunlight warmly illuminating your home and your loved ones, take a moment to be thankful. Glaucoma affects over 96,000 patients, and around 14% of them will eventually lose their sight to the disease – making glaucoma the leading cause of blindness in Hong Kong. In recent years, more and more young people have been diagnosed with the disease – and William Ng was one of them.

William was fi rst diagnosed with glaucoma at the age of 18. Despite medical treatment, his condition remained unstable.

Due to the damage to his sensory cells, he gradually lost the ability to see colours and could only distinguish between light and dark. At 26, William lost his eyesight completely and his world was forever sealed in darkness.

“It was a huge blow. I used to work in IT - but after losing my sight, all my dreams and hopes vanished,” explained William. He locked himself up at home and spent two years living in isolation. William continued, “I didn’t want to talk to

anybody. I even lied to my friends that I was working in the Mainland. Why bother leaving the front

door when I had diffi culty even fi nding the lift button?”

W i l l iam’s depressed menta l s tate worried his family. However, his family found hope after Wi l l iam’s sister discovered the services provided by the Hong Kong Federation of the Blind. At the centre, William learned how to use his other senses to adapt

to daily life. He learned how to cook safely and use electrical appliances,

as well as other domestic skills. Step by step, William began to venture out of his

fl at. After a few months of training, his family was thrilled to learn that he travelled from his

home in Kowloon to visit friends on Hong Kong Island – all by himself.

The Hong Kong Federation of the Bl ind offers a var iety of interest classes, training programmes and public performance opportunities to help visually impaired people realise their potential. With his family’s support, William took up distance running and fi nished a half-marathon race with his running guide. Through his training, he regained his confi dence.

Today, Wil l iam has come a long way from his init ial reluctance to accept blindness and defeated attitude. He is now able to go out on his own, run, play golf, enter singing competitions, and has even started working again as an IT technician. Relying on his personal determination and the support of his family, William has triumphed over the challenges of visual impairment to become an active, contributing member of society.

William’s story is truly an inspiration, teaching us to overcome adversity and face up to any challenge life may bring.

On 11 July, a family dispute in Choi Ming Court, Tseung Kwan O led to the violent death of a mother of three children. As the father was detained by Police, the three school-age children suddenly lost all means of support. To help tide them over during this difficult period, the Rainbow Fund immediately allocated HK$100,000 to subsidise their daily necessities, school fees and moving expenses.

An industrial accident at Kwai Chung Container Terminal took the life of Lo Siu-kei on 16 July. Lo, the sole bread earner for a family of six, was also a caring child to his mother and a supportive older brother to his younger siblings. Upon hearing of Lo’s case from Headline Daily, representatives from the Chest and Cheung Kong Group met up with the Lo family and presented them with HK$50,000 to help ease the impact of their traumatic loss.
