Today it’s World Sight Day – a global awareness day dedicated to the importance of eye health, vision care, and the prevention of blindness and visual impairment.
Behind this message are real-life stories of people dealing with visual impairment. Today, we share the story of Irma, 38 years old, originally from Lithuania, and mother of two children – a daughter of 12 and son of 8 years old. Her son was born with a rare genetic eye condition, called aniridia.
