"You don't look good - it's sticking out of your head too far, we should remove your eye, after all, it's serving NO purpose, and you'll look better without it!" she recalls the medical professional to have said.

According to Dion, although she was deeply hurt by the doctor's statement, she decided not to settle for the option of losing a part of herself and that has become a decision she is forever grateful for.

"It would be years later that I would feel called to throw away my artificial eye, unmask and let you see me - for real! I'm so glad I didn't let them throw this part of me in the bin!" she said.
