An Oregon mother may have saved her 2-year-old daughter’s life when she saw a glimmer in her eye when she looked at an old photograph.

“I knew something was wrong with Gracie because her eye would be glowing, and it looked like she had a lazy eye,” Elly Smith, of Oregon, was quoted by Fox News as saying.
