Channel Seven newsreader Mike Amor reveals he required emergency surgery and almost went blind: 'I wasn't going to see my son grow up'


Mike Amor has revealed his battle with an eye disease that almost left him blind.

Mike had undergone laser treatments in his 40s but eventually needed five surgeries to treat his eyes which he said were 'full of blood'.

Eye pain, blurred vision and vomiting are all tell-tale signs of an incurable condition known as the 'silent thief of sight'.
