Her whole life, Lacey Bachart has seen the world through different vision. She suffers from Stargardt's Disease, an eye condition that only allows her to see peripherally while the rest of her eyesight is foggy.
"I've just really learned how to cope with this disease and my friends have helped me a lot and the teachers, my parents," Lacey told Philadephia’s Fox 29.
But, the disorder has prevented Bachart from seeing one of the most important things of all: her mother’s face.
Yet, mom Lisa Bachart felt a flicker of hope when she heard about eSight Eyewear. The advanced technology helps people with similar conditions improve their vision with the help of big, special glasses.
The Bacharts headed to an eSight facility in Cleveland so that Lacey could experience the special glasses herself.
In the video below – shared on Facebook by the news station – we see the moment Lacey tries on the glasses. The result is astounding as the 12-year-old is able to see her mom’s beauty for the first time ever.
The heartening moment, reminiscent to the touching time a father hears his daughter sing for the first time, makes them both break down in tears.
