My son, Devon, Born with Congenital Cataracts. This is his story.

HEY! READ HERE! THIS IS THE UNFINISHED VIDEO, THE FINISHED ONE IS AT THE LINK BELOW!:

This video will be deleted shortly.

My son, Devon was born with Congenital Cataracts. He had the removed at 4 months. To remove them, doctors had to remove the lens of his eye. According to doctors/experts, one cannot see without a lens. But, Devon can. When they remove cataracts, they usually take out the lens and the cataract, and insert a permanent lens with perfect vision, but since he was so young, they couldn't. They told me he would never sit, crawl, or walk. But he did! They told me he would be blind, but he's not! He has defied the doctors.

(The video is not yet finished! I am still going to get a video of him playing without the glasses on! To show the difference.) Thanks!!

Did he have a lens implant, or any other complications? Our daughter is going through the same thing but unilateral and she's had three surgeries so far, another in a month and its very hard watching her go through all of it. I can tell that she is unable to see without a lens, but the lens is so hard with her visits getting it cleaned costantly, patching, and complications.

@jischaeffer No, he did not have a lens implant. He has has glasses, but he can't see through them. But he does not have contacts or a lens implant. That's why were so stunned that he can see! But, im sorry about your daughter. She will make it through, it just takes time. Devon has had 3 surgeries too. Its so hard to get through this stuff, but it will be okay! Hope she will be okay with her vision! :)

I loved the video he is so lucky he got the surgery! Smartest thing you could have ever done cuz it's better to risk being blind then to live with the cataracts for the rest of your life.
