Love Island 2023 star, Ron Hall, has revealed that he hopes to inspire other partially sighted young people during his time in the ITV2 villa.
"Obviously, we all wish we had two eyes that work. You know, you have to look after your senses. But you know, how to use it to your advantage - how to be confident and how to not let it impact, how to not let people impact you, you know hate, bullying, those sorts of things. Speaking about his injury that occurred when he was just eight-years-old, Ron said: "I was playing football, I was in a match and the ball basically come over. I went down to head the ball, he went up with his foot. Basically, knocked me out, detached my retina.
"Obviously, I was a kid at the time, I didn't really want pain but the problem was probably from the age of eight to 18, it was extremely painful. UV lights, sunlight, it was almost like someone poking me in the eye, all the time. "So you have to look at the positive side of things. And yes, when you're younger people will call you [names]. I used to get called Pirate, Popeye, but I used to call myself, my Xbox setting for when I was a kid, my name used to be 'Ron one eye'.
