The boy kept going blind and blind

Due to a rare disease, the British 3-year-old Harvey Webb was blind when exposed to light and had to wear special sunglasses to see the world around him.

According to the Daily Mail, Harvey was diagnosed with Achromatopsia syndrome when he visited the Moorfields Eye Institute in London in December 2009. My parents started feeling uneasy when their son had a concentration problem.

Achromatopsia syndrome is a retinal disease in which cells are responsible for the sensitivity of light and the color in the eye does not work. The disease has an incidence of 1 / 35,000 people and is currently incurable.

Having this disease means that Harvey is completely color blind and he only sees the world in black and white. Moreover, Harvey's eyes were completely blinded (similar to blindness) when exposed to sunlight, making him unable to participate in outdoor activities with his peers and friends. Additional support in the classroom.

Dr Tony Moore, consultant at the Moorfields Eye Institute, said: 'Harvey's activities will be hampered by his eyesight. Harvey will also be less confident when outdoors because of the extreme light sensitivity of his eyes. Everything will be extremely bad when the boy's eyes are exposed to the bright light '.

Doctors have asked Harvey to wear a special type of sunglasses, allowing only 10% of light to pass through almost anytime, anywhere, except when sleeping. His parents also often covered the curtains at their homes to create a weak light environment, helping their little son see their faces.

Harvey's sister - baby Megan, 3 months old - has just been diagnosed with eye disease like her brother. Still, she doesn't need to wear special glasses like Harvey.

Currently, both brothers Harvey and Megan are being allowed to participate in trials to find treatments for Achromatopsia disease, which is sponsored by the Charity Association for partial funding.
