Na wa for all these Miracle babies. The other day it was the one in India with Horns, another one in Alabama without a Nose, now another baby was born with no eyes. A 24 year old Care worker Danielle Davis, and her partner, Andre Smith,31, from South Wales welcomed a daughter to the world with no eyes. The doctor confirmed she had anophthalmia, a birth defect that is very rare.
"It was a shock - we had never heard of it before. But she is our gorgeous baby and we have no regrets about turning down a termination." Danielle said1
"We want to give Daisy as normal a life as possible and give her the same opportunities as other children. We had never heard of the condition before and neither had any of our friends or family. People didn't really know what to say when we told them.
"The cyst showed up on the 21-week scan and naturally we were worried about it. But none of the doctors said our baby could be born blind. Everyone has been really supportive and I can't thank the doctors and midwives enough for all of their help."
Little Daisy will later this month go for an operation to fit glass eyes. And when she's 18months old, they will be replaced with painted eyes that will look more natural.
