A baby in Florida was born with a rare condition that
has left her without eyes
Brielle Garrison suffers from anophthalmia, which is a
disorder that results in the absence of ocular tissue
and usually develops during pregnancy.
Lori Garrison, Brielle's grandmother, said this has been
incredibly hard on her family.
"For a baby to be born with no eyes is just so cruel,
and because my daughter's 15, it was just mind boggling
that such a thing could happen," Garrison said.
Brielle has a long road ahead of her and will have to
have several surgeries so that her face does not become
deformed, according to the report.
"It's hard," said Taylor Garrison, Brielle's mother. "I
mean, this week we have an appointment every day, and
there are always appointments (and) different doctors."
There is no treatment for severe anophthalmia, however
children can be fitted for with an artificial eye for
cosmetic purposes and to promote socket growth, the NIH
said.
In a recent study in England, one in 10,000 newborns was
found to have anopthalmia. |
