A mum was left terrified after a eye condition caused her to lose her sight when her baby was just three months old.
Deborah Hodgson became concerned after noticing black patches in her vision and pain when she looked to the side. The 35-year-old, from Cullercoats, North Tyneside, discovered she was suffering from swelling which was damaging her optic nerve.
The condition, known as Optic neuritis, caused her to lose her entire sight in one eye and the most of the vision in her other eye. Deborah, who works as a optometrist, started to make preparations in case she went completely blind.
