I find it hard to think that someone 20 years old, you run out of diagnose aniridia.
Everything that has been in our hand what we have done.
Maybe to teach people that we are not people rare that we only have a rare disease.we are equal to others.

Do not despair when they are diagnosed with the disease because their children are going to have a normal life like any other person going to be able to study , work, raise a family, do sports etc .. The advice I would give is that you seek a physician in the place where they reside that treat the pathologies of their children and not travel all over looking for a place where to cure aniridia because it is not curable and if your children have strabismus try to fix it (with patches to avoid operations) because children suffer discrimination for this reason and not because of his low vision and this the day of tomorrow can affect them psychologically
