After a few hectic weeks, the American choreographer Dan Karaty (44) is feeling well again, he tells Privé. “Especially when you consider where I come from.” Last summer, Karaty was urgently admitted to an American hospital.
“A few months ago I didn’t feel so good for a few days in a row,” he says. “My left eye suddenly radiated a lot of pain. It was so intense that I almost died. The breaking point came when one morning I couldn’t see anything through that eye at all. ”
Once at the hospital, the situation turned out to be serious. The doctors did not know if Karaty would regain his sight. “The doctor indicated that he would first like to focus on saving the eye at all. He wasn’t even sure at the time that he would. When I heard that, I almost fell off my chair. Two days earlier I played golf and games with my children, now I was suddenly faced with the moment when my left eye might need to be removed. In addition to discovering the autoimmune disease in our baby boy, this was the scariest moment of my life. ”
Meanwhile, Karaty is at home recovering from his hospital stay. But what exactly was wrong with his eye, the doctors still don’t know. “We still have no idea what the cause of my complaints is and that is why I do not yet label it. Fortunately, things are slowly moving in the right direction. The doctors, who have done a fantastic job, are pretty sure I won’t lose my eye. But I can’t see with it yet. We have now taken the road to regain my sight as well. At the moment I can hardly perceive anything, but I am already seeing some flashes of light and shadows. Because of the hypersensitivity to sunlight, I live, more or less, 24/7 with sunglasses. ”
