Veronica, 46, said when she saw Nikita it appeared her eye had been "divided in two". Doctors even had to drain out parts of the eye which had escaped the woman's eye socket, sliding behind her ear and into her skull.<\/p>\n
"I opened the eye and saw that the eye was divided into two and the top part was in pieces," Veronica said.<\/p>\n
"They said that the whole eye was splattered into pieces."<\/p>\n
Nikita chimed in: "It was very hard to take in \u2013 I was just sitting there like, 'This cannot be happening. I can't believe that in two minutes my life had changed forever."<\/p>\n

Nikita says the assault \u2013 which also left her with a broken nose \u2013 had an enormous impact on her well-being. She hasn't been able to look at her own reflection since the operation and "cried" when she accidentally caught a glimpse of herself.<\/p>\n
She also said the attack was a complete shock to her as it happened in the middle of the day. She had even encountered her aggressor before without any serious issues.<\/p>\n
"I didn't think he would be bold enough to attack me," she said. "Being attacked wasn't even on my mind."<\/p>\n
Now, Veronica is crowdfunding to help her daughter with her recovery. The money will go towards her medical bills, and Nikita hopes she will be able to get a prosthetic eye.<\/p>\n
Nikita now wants to raise awareness about the street harassment women are subjected to every day. She said: "When you're a young woman, you get so used to [catcalling]. I've been used to it since I was 11.<\/p>\n
"I didn't think it would spiral, because it usually happens on a daily basis."<\/p>\n
A spokesperson for the South African Police Service confirmed an investigation into the attack has been opened. They said: "The circumstances surrounding an assault of a 25-year-old woman are being investigated.<\/p>\n
"The victim was admitted to hospital for treatment while the suspect fled the scene. He is yet to be arrested."<\/p>\n
