Abu Dhabi: A six-month-old Emirati baby who was suffering from a rare genetic disease that affects the eyes has successfully had his vision restored following treatment in Abu Dhabi.
Mohamed Al Shehi’s parents had noticed their son’s left eye turning inwards five months after he was born. The family from Ras Al Khaimah was afraid that Mohamed had vision loss, and sought medical advice.
“When Mohamed was five months, my wife noticed that his left eye was not in its normal place. She tried covering the right eye to see if he would respond to moving objects in front of him, but he wouldn’t. We were very scared that he had lost his sight,” said Abdulla Al Shehi, Mohamed’s father.
