For the first four months of his life, Leopold Wilbur Reppond suffered from a rare disorder called oculocutaneous albinism. The condition affects the color of a person’s hair, skin, and eyes. In this case, Leo was unable to see properly.
Now, due to the help of a Los Angeles-based pediatric ophthalmologist Kenneth Wright, who got them special infant glasses for Leo—which still contains normal lenses, but the frames are made from a rubbery material, have no screws, no hinges, and no sharp edges. Leo can finally see his mother for the very first time.
“Hi honey,” Mrs. Reppond greeted Leo. Leo then responded by looking up at his mother’s eyes—with a huge smile on his face.
He's smiling a lot more and he can see everybody in the room, he's interacting more.
