A mum is 'one of two in the world' to lose an eye to a rare condition that threatened to make it EXPLODE - and now wears a glittery prosthetic.
Holly Swindells, 34, noticed her right eye getting red and painful and she started coughing up blood and getting nosebleeds.
She took several trips to her GP and A&E with no success and ended up bedbound from the pain.
Eventually a blood test revealed she had granulomatosis with polyangiitis (GPA) - a rare type of vasculitis - which is causes inflammation of blood vessels, including in the eyes.
The mum-of-two had to have her right eye removed as doctors warned that her eye pressure was so high it was at risk of bursting.
