While many strides continue to be made in eye care to improve sight through refraction, surgery, and other interventions, it is an unfortunate reality that for many persons sight cannot be restored and they must cope with incurable low vision conditions or blindness, which can be a completely debilitating condition.

It is the sheer will power of these persons and the support and love of their parents, and other society members around them, that help these young children overcome the numerous challenges visual impairment can bring.
