Justin Walters eye injury: What happened to his right eye?
Justin’s eye injury dated back to when he was very young. Justin knows how to fight. And he knows how to never give up. When he was at the age of four a game of garden cricket cost him the sight in his right eye. In an interview, he explained what really happened to his eye.
“I was playing cricket in the garden with a friend. There was a bat in the bushes near a fir tree with those short, sharp needles. I was walking towards it and my mom called me. I turned around to look at her while walking and as I turned back I went straight into one of those pine needles, and it just went straight through my eye,” he revealed.
Justin also revealed that he had five operations on the eye, however, he is technically blind in that eye.
