A Tennessee woman’s Facebook post of a photo of her three-year-old daughter helped her discover the little girl has a rare eye condition.
Tara Taylor was proud of her daughter, Rylee, because the little girl had fixed her own hair. When she posted Rylee’s photo online, two of her friends took notice according to our sister station WREG.
“They said ‘Hey, I’m sure it’s nothing. It’s probably the lighting, but your daughter’s eye is glowing and you might want to have it checked out because it’s a sign there could be an issue with her eye,'” said Taylor.
After her pediatrician sent them to a specialist, Rylee was diagnosed with Coat’s disease, a rare condition that causes vision loss or blindness in one eye.
Taylor says Rylee didn’t give any indication that she was having trouble seeing. She says she’s grateful to the friends who pointed out the possible problem.
