A reader, Sue, just learned that her son has aniridia and nystagmus. Aniridia is a lack of iris, which is associated with low vision and other vision issues. She would love to connect with any other parents of children with aniridia, or anyone who has dealt with this. Please leave a comment, or email me (ann@shinypebble.com) and I will put you in touch with Sue.

Hi Sue,
My name is Helen Mopsick and my son, Colton is 2 years old with aniridia. PLEASE feel free to email me any questions or concerns. Also, if you need to talk to someone on the phone, I’m also available. The first few months are the hardest as you’re dealing with all the new information and you are naturally worried. Sincerely – Helen.
