“I was afraid of sleeping”
Evaluating the process in which his eyesight began to return, Galatasaray football player said, “I did not dare to sleep. As soon as a little light appeared in my left eye after a few days, I was afraid of sleeping because I was afraid of the dark, and I was afraid to close my eyes. Even though a little light came from my left, I was there because I was afraid of losing the light. I was constantly checking that it was not there,” he said.
“I CAN’T KNOW WHEN IT IS NIGHT OR DAY”
