Popular Kenyan TikToker Baba Talisha is fighting a serious eye infection that has robbed him of vision in his left eye, with his wife Miss Wanjey stepping forward to explain how the condition developed and what lies ahead for the beloved content creator.
Speaking during a TikTok livestream on November 11, 2026, Miss Wanjey broke down the medical details to concerned followers, revealing that the culprit behind her husband’s suffering is an amoeba, a parasite that is typically found in contaminated tap water and dust.
What is causing Baba Talisha’s eye condition?
According to Miss Wanjey, the amoeba has embedded itself in the cornea, where it creates cysts and continues to multiply, making treatment extremely difficult.
“He has a living thing in the cornea that is eating it up,” she explained, adding that the parasite’s ability to penetrate deep tissue is what makes it so dangerous and hard to treat.
What made the situation significantly worse is that medical teams had been treating the wrong condition entirely for roughly two months.
That misdiagnosis gave the infection a wide window to advance unchecked, which is why Baba Talisha’s left eye has turned visibly white and he has lost all sight in it.
Corneal transplant on the table
The family is currently waiting for lab samples sent to India to come back before doctors can determine the precise course of action.
Miss Wanjey said physicians have advised them to hold off on starting any new treatment until those results are in.
Should medication prove ineffective, a corneal transplant is one of the remedies on offer. The family is also planning to visit Kikuyu Hospital, a facility known for eye care, to get a second opinion.
“With treatment, we are hopeful that he’s going to regain most of the vision back,” Miss Wanjey said, striking a cautiously optimistic note despite the gravity of the situation.
The update drew an outpouring of concern from followers who have watched Baba Talisha build a loyal TikTok following through his relatable, entertaining content.
