About Me
I am 28. I was born in Ukraine. When I was 3 months old I was diagnosed with ONH, back then I was blind. My mom did not want to give up, she was going to try every treatment that there was at that time. I practically grew up in the hospitals, I was there that often. Today I have 20/50 vision in my left eye, my right eye does not have center vision. But this condition did not stop me from getting MA in teaching and interpretation. I love to learn new things, I play guitar and sing.

Close Optic Nerve Hypoplasia
I was born in Ukraine. I was diagnosed with ONH when I was 3 months old. One doctor told my mom I was blind, it was hopeless and there was nothing they could do. My mom was not going to take "No" for an answer. She took me to Eye institute,I was diagnosed with optic nerve hypoplasia, horisontal nystagmus and ambleopia. The doctors recommended vitamines B,eye excersises. When I was 8 months I started to see, poorly. My vision continued to improve. Today I am 28 and my left eye can see 20/50.
