'Our daughter was born with no eyes - it's changed our lives for the better'

The parents of a one-year-old girl born with a rare condition that means she has no eyes have said their daughter “has changed our lives for the better” and helped them “appreciate life”.

Laura and John Duffy-Moss, from York, said their daughter Margot has a rare condition called bilateral anophthalmia, meaning her eyes and optic nerves never developed in the womb.

The couple have been watching her learn new skills and surpass “all of our expectations” with the help of the Guide Dogs charity, said 37-year-old Ms Duffy-Moss.
