August Alsina nearly going blind

I really can't believe this tho...one of my fav. R&B singers..here's what he said..

August Alsina: So I have this eye disease.. Blind in my left, and losing vision in my right. In order to prevent my eyesight from deteriorating i had to do this surgery. This shit is beyond painful & Life be throwin' a nigga curve balls but what I've gained from it all is priceless... A lot of things that are so natural to us in life (like waking up and being able to see we can take it for granted). Thank God the OG for allowing me to see.. The good the bad the ugly, I'm just glad to see.
