Last night August Alsina announced via Instagram that he underwent painful surgery  in order to improve his eye sight.  The young R&B singer explained  that he went blind in his left eye and  began losing vision in his right eye.

“A lot of things that are so natural to us in life (like waking up and being able to see) we can take it for granted,” he expressed. “Thank God the OG for allowing me to see.. The good the bad the ugly, I’m just glad to see”.

So I have this eye disease.. Blind in my left, and losing vision in my right. In order to prevent my eyesight from deteriorating ihad to do this surgery. This shit is beyond painful & Life be throwin’ a nigxa curve balls but what I’ve gained from it all is priceless… A lot of things that are so natural to us in life (like waking up and being able to see 👀) we can take it for granted. Thank God the OG for allowing me to see.. The good the bad the ugly, I’m just glad to see👀
