This is horrible and yet it happened. A baby girl in the United States was born without eyes due to an extremely rare genetic disorder that affects only 30 people worldwide. Asked by The Sun, the newborn’s mother said she noticed an anomaly on the day of his birth. “I noticed she wasn’t opening her eyes, so I asked the nurse what was going on.”
She was reassuring, explaining that this process is normal and that babies don’t open their eyes right away. Only here: Nani never opened her eyes. “The pediatrician examined the child, he stopped the exam, looked at us in amazement.” “Your daughter has no eyes”he told her.
“I just burst into tears because I didn’t fully understand what he meant at that moment”, she declared, still overcome with emotion. Terrified by the news, she and her husband then went to a children’s hospital to find answers to their questions. The family spent nine days there. Doctors eventually determined that the baby, named Renly, was born with anophthalmia, a genetic disorder characterized by a lack of eye tissue and the optic nerve.
Although research on this condition is limited, Dr. In charge of infant cases. Jensen warned that it could affect Renly’s intellectual and physical development. He also said that there is a 50% chance that the child will pass the disease on to his future children.

“It’s totally random”
At the same time, faced with the parents’ despair, Dr. Jensen tried to reassure them by assuring them that there was nothing they could have done to prevent this from happening. “Renly’s mother or father did nothing to cause this. There is nothing they could have done to prevent this, it is completely random,” He declared.

Currently, there is no known treatment that can reverse this phenomenon. That’s why doctors are working to fit children with artificial eyes to encourage bone and soft tissue growth around their eye sockets. In the coming days, Renly is expected to undergo surgery for artificial eyes. The family also started a GoFundMe page to cover Renly’s medical expenses as well as travel between her home and the children’s hospital.
