when you went back to emory to see what was going on with your eye, were you surprised it was ebola. >> i was absolutely surprised. when i left the hospital after six weeks, there were a lot of things on my mind. i was focused on getting stronger, learning to walk physically and other ways as a survivors. in early december when i developed severe inflammation in the front of my left a it was apparent that this would be aggressive and seize. four days in my opthalmologist using a small needle tapped some of the fluid from inside the eye and we were surprised to find the eye was teaming with high levels of active and viable ebola virus. we'd had a hint in the mid 1990s of mild eye disease after ebola in survivors, but this was mild. eyes weren't tapped and my eye was clearly a different animal. >> because we are seeing the same problem with a lot of survivors in africa. >> we are, indeed. in fact, one of the reasons i started paying attention to some mild eye symptoms was the fact that in canama where i worked we were seeing patients 30-40% of them complaining of eye symptoms. understa

emory gave me a level of care that had not been provided. they changed the game. in a sense they were walking on the moon. what we have seen in my eye may reflect the fact that i should have died at that time, and i survived and we are seeing things pop up in me that will not be typical of most ebola patients. we spoke about how we had to learn to walk again. >> the outbreak was so large, we have more survivors than before. how much do we know about the serious long-term effects of the disease? >> yes. >> that's a great question. the issues are broader than the eye. my colleague wrote recently that even when it's obvious, it's not over. in addition with the eye i struggled fatigue, i have an arthritis of my back and other joint. i struggle with my brain, with short-term memory and problems finding my words. i lost most of the hearing in my left ear. there are other scars, but i'm not so different between 10-15,000 west african survivors struggling with a new set of issues after they have - in a sense, been cured. we know it's not cured from ebola. this is not a ne

but after a month add emory university he was discharged and declared ebola free. two months later pressure built up in his eye the pain became unbearable and doctors found crozier still had the ebola virus still living in his eye. >> we know the eye is partitioned off from the body's immune system, that may be why ebola links in there. >> health watch dogs say even after the disease is thought to have exited their bodies, dr. crozier is unlikely to have spread ebola his tears and other eye membranes tested negative. nonetheless, health workers are asked to be extra cautious, when examining patients with ebola. whether the disease can be transmitted through sexual contact as can hiv. >> the inside of the testes are walled off which is why ebola has been detected in semen. >> mostly in liberia, sierra leone and guinea. but cases have been steadily declining since the peak and tomorrow liberia the hardest hit country is expected to declare itself ebola-free. >> while that is good news survivors in west africa have been declaring eye problems on and off. and the other

doctors at emory administered an experimental antiviral pill and a steroid. within a week his vision cleared up and his site is back. we know that the interior of the eye is mostly partitioned off from the immune system that may cause damage in the eye when you gettic sick. it may be why ebola lipping ners there -- lingers in there. he's not really contagious you'd have to crack open the eye. it means ebola survived inside dr crossier's body for month's after he was considered no longer contagious. we are seeing good news about ebola in africa. >> as of saturday may 9th, ebola is ebola free according to the world health organisation. it's an extraordinary turn around considering liberia had the second highest number of cases, deaths, and is the poorest. it's the reports that we are getting of survivors who lost their vision, hearing, and are complaining of joint pain and a discovery that ebola can lurk in the eye for weeks. it reminds us that in a part of a world with limited ability to follow up with thousands of survivors, there may be many people that are
