A woman in Guangzhou, China, was devastated to find her son was born with an eye condition which means he has little or no eye tissue.
The condition Anophthalmia affects one in every 100,000 children, according to NHS, and it means that the boy will never be able to see.
The child's mother, named Liu Peihua, gave birth on September 20 and is now talking with specialists at a larger hospital in Guangzhou to get a thorough examination of the baby, reports the People's Daily Online.
A woman in China named Liu Peihua recently gave birth to a baby with a tragic birth defect.
The baby has a condition called anophthalmia, which means that a person is missing at least one eye.
In the case of Peihua's baby, he has no eyes.
The parents are now hoping that a charity will step in and help them get treatment for their son.
Unfortunately, there is no treatment that can restore the vision for the child.
Prosthetic eyes can help the facial bones grow in a more normal manner around the eye socket.
Hopefully, with some prosthetics and therapy, the boy will learn to lead a normal life.
