Born with a rare genetic defect②, Christian had very poor vision③ and needed to walk with a stick. When he was about 11, he suffered a drastic④ decline in his vision, and was told he'd be completely blind within a few years.
Fortunately, the mutated⑤ gene that⑥ caused his severe visual impairment⑦ was identified when⑧ he was 12, and he went on to receive gene therapy⑨. A mere three days after the therapy, Christian's sight had improved enough for him to be able to see his mother's face for the very first time. Without needing a stick to guide him, Christian walked out of the eye clinic and into a beautiful new world.
