Eleven-year-old excels academically despite sight problem

Hain, (UW/R), Oct. 02, GNA – Aiden Breme, an eleven-year-old pupil from the Chapuri Primary School in the Jirapa Municipality, is said to be academically good despite living with a sight problem.

Little Aiden was diagnosed with Cataract Nystagmus, a condition that caused instability of his eyeballs, which was affecting his sight.

Born with the condition, little Aiden’s parents perceived the condition as normal, unaware of the severity of his situation and, therefore, took no action to remedy it.

Aiden was diagnosed with the condition during an eye screening exercise at Hain organised by Bliss Eye Care, a private eye clinic in Wa in partnership with Ghana Vision, a Swiss charity under the Blissful Sight for Kids (BS4Ks) project.

Mr. George Kangwonuah, Ophthalmic Nurse with the Jirapa Municipal Hospital, who diagnosed Aiden’s condition, told the Ghana News Agency (GNA) that an urgent surgery was needed to correct the abnormality with his eyes.
