Wings’ guard Diamond DeShields has seen quite a lot in a short time not only as a professional athlete but as a human first and foremost.
When she was 15, DeShields was diagnosed with keratoconus, an eye condition that weakens the cornea and causes it to bulge outward. As her condition progressed, she has had two eye surgeries and has to wear specialized glass contact lenses to help her eyesight. To protect her glass contact lenses, she wears goggles on the court. Her eyewear is a staple among fans in each of her stops in the W and this season in Dallas looks to be no different.
