During a TikTok livestream on 11 November 2026, Miss Wanjey, the wife of popular Kenyan TikToker Baba Talisha, explained that her husband is suffering from a parasitic eye infection caused by an amoeba typically found in contaminated tap water and dust.

The amoeba has lodged in the cornea, forming cysts that multiply, making the infection difficult to treat and leading to a visibly white left eye and total loss of sight in that eye.

Medical teams initially misdiagnosed the condition and treated the wrong ailment for about two months, allowing the infection to progress unchecked.

Doctors have indicated that if medication does not clear the infection, a corneal transplant is among the possible remedies.

Lab samples have been sent to India for analysis, and physicians have advised the family to wait for the results before commencing any new treatment.

The family also plans to seek a second opinion at Kikuyu Hospital, a facility known for its eye‑care services.

Miss Wanjey said she is handling Baba Talisha’s business communications while he copes with light sensitivity and the ongoing medical process.

Followers expressed concern during the livestream, reflecting the creator’s strong fan base built on relatable and entertaining content.
