Washington: A video that went viral this week showed a legally blind mother in Canada getting to look at her newborn child for the first time thanks to vision-enhancing glasses.
The video posted to YouTube shows 29-year-old Kathy Beitz seeing her newborn boy with the aid of a bulky black headset. "For the first baby that I get to actually look at, being my own is very overwhelming," Beitz said in the popular video. Beitz has genetic macular degeneration known as Stargardt disease.
Felix, who has the same disease, is raising money so more people can access the expensive glasses at makeblindnesshistory.com.
