The Come and See My Morda hitmaker noted that she had recently travelled abroad to see if she could undergo laser surgery and fix the eye problem but was not eligible for the procedure.

Mzvee explained that per consultation, she was informed that she could have undergone the surgery but it was not advisable for her to do so because her eyeballs were not shaped like every regular individual.

She noted that she could get herself contacts for her eyes, but she needed the hard type, which would have made it uncomfortable for her to walk around freely.

The songstress said she had difficulties seeing people in public as her vision gets blurry and sometimes feels sleepy when she walks around without her glasses.

Mzvee shared that she had been wearing glasses since she was eight years old and was born with Astigmatism medical condition, which her parents did not discover earlier on in her life.
