New WhatsApp Community for Connecting with Others in Similar Situations
At OOG in OOG, we’re getting asked more and more often if, in addition to our private Facebook group, we could also set up a WhatsApp group for people in similar situations to connect. We think it’s important for people to be able to easily find and support one another. That’s why we’ve launched a new WhatsApp community.
In this community, you can share experiences, ask questions, and connect with others who are dealing with an eye removal, an ocular prosthesis, or seeing with one eye. There is a general group where everyone is welcome. In addition, there are various subgroups for specific topics and target audiences.
You can join the groups that interest you:
- General Group
- Retinoblastoma
- Anophthalmia/Microphthalmia
- Ocular Melanoma
- Orbital Prosthesis
- Ocular infarction
- Young People
- Blind and Visually Impaired People
- Accident
- Acanthamoeba Keratitis
Would you like to join? Then go to the community via this link and sign up for the groups that suit you. Your phone number will be visible to others in the community.
