What if a routine Lasik procedure left you legally blind? After seeking freedom from glasses, Lorrie Tevebaugh faced a devastating eye condition that changed her life forever. Through honest conversation with Vivian about grief, self-acceptance, and faith's role in healing, Lorrie shares her journey from active outdoor enthusiast to low-vision disability. As both women explore the importance of reaching out during dark times, Lorrie reveals how her mission to raise awareness about Lasik complications has become a testimony to God's faithfulness, helping others find hope in their own struggles.

GUEST BIO

Lorrie Tevebaugh is a Christ-following wife, mom, and “Nan.” She is also a former teacher who now spends her days arranging government travel and evenings and weekends with her husband, children, and grandchildren. Lorrie loves to travel, hike, run, boat, camp, visit national parks, and do as much as she can outside.

After Lasik eye surgery left her legally blinded, Lorrie found support from the Lord, her friends, and her family. As a result of the procedure, her corneas melted, and she was left seeing only colors and shapes. Even with the help of large, hard contacts called sclerals, and bifocal glasses, her vision is still seriously compromised.

Today, Lorrie speaks out on the dangers of unnecessary eye procedures. Lorrie raises awareness by sharing her story of overcoming this life-altering setback and encourages those considering the surgery to do their research. She is also a supporter of those who are suffering severe and permanent complications due to eyesight-correcting procedures.
