Did you know that approximately 5 million individuals each year face eye injuries, diseases, genetic conditions, or ophthalmic tumors, which may lead to partial or complete vision loss? This journey can sometimes pose challenges to self-acceptance and connecting with others.
OUR MISSION

We're here to foster an environment bursting with support, healing, self-discovery, and a whole lot of fun. Through our safe and inclusive space, we empower individuals to embrace their true selves and forge meaningful connections within our tight-knit community of peers.
MEET YOUR HOST
SHELBY PERRY
The visionary behind EYEHESIVE and the One-Eye Era membership! After a snowboarding incident in 2021 left her with the loss of her right eye, Shelby encountered the challenge of finding comprehensive resources to navigate her journey and the prosthetic process. Determined to fill this gap, she founded EYEHESIVE with one mission in mind: to provide top-tier individual coaching and a vibrant array of resources for our community.
At EYEHESIVE and the One-Eye Era membership, we're all about empowerment, support, and fun! Our vibrant community is a melting pot of inspiring stories from individuals living with one eye. Through our platform, we offer strength, solidarity, and a whole lot of hope.
Join us on this journey of self-discovery and growth
