At age 25, Mansor was knocked down by a quarter-life crisis like no other. Despite having spent the former years of his life a relatively healthy and sighted person, Mansor found himself suddenly among a small and unfortunate percentage of individuals afflicted with Idiopathic Intracranial Hypertension (IIH). After spending three months in the hospital and undergoing multiple surgeries, Mansor was confronted by a hard truth: he had lost complete vision in both eyes and would have to spend the rest of his life in total darkness.
Nevertheless, Mansor has proven that it takes more than sudden blindness to cripple his spirit. Through sheer grit and determination, Mansor adapted to his new reality, and two years after losing his sight, he finally managed to complete his Bachelor of Arts in Communications and Media Studies.
Today, he is working in the sustainability and marketing department of an MNC in Singapore.
This is Mansor’s story of hope and how he managed to find the light in the darkness.
