Shocking pictures show a man with huge red eyes popping out of his sockets after suffering from cancer.
Chokchai Khonkaew was left blind from the deadly tumour which has now reached an advanced stage.
He was diagnosed after his parents took him to the largest hospital in the province of Hat Yai, southern Thailand at just 20-years-old.
A programme of chemotherapy and lazer treatment was given but despite the best efforts of the medics Chokchai’s condition got worse and his sight began to be affected.
In turn this meant that he couldn’t resume his university course where he was a first year student.
He said: “I started to have a slight irritation in the left eye in April of last year but didn’t think much about it.

"Eventually I went to see the local doctor who prescribed some medicine but it didn’t help and the irritation got worse and spread to my other eye”
Fortunately, both Chokchai’s parents and his brother have good jobs tapping rubber in the local plantations so money, or the lack of it, is not the barrier it might be for others.

Eventually, having exhausted the medical capabilities in the province his parents took him for treatment to Bangkok but even so the cancer continued to get worse so that he completely lost his sight and the eyes began to swell out of their sockets.
His parents said: “We returned home to Hat Yai and started a regime of traditional herbal medicines and prayer. After two months of this the eyes are less swollen and not as inflamed”
