- And when she gets a little bigger, her eyes have the same line in the iris, which cats have. But she is our little girl, and we want the best for our daughter and will do everything to ensure that she gets the best quality of life as possible, says Cintia Molnar, and adds:

- Our daughter will of course not be able to do the same things that most other babies do, because she is blind. And it is heartbreaking to experience, when we are out among other children.

Lillien Molnar also says that her daughter has not yet begun to climb due to his eye condition, and she is also not able to play with different toys like the other children of the same age.

But she smiles all the time, and it warms my heart, tells Cintia and adds how she reacted when the doctors first told her, that little Lillien is blind.

- I fainted almost. It was a terrible piece of news. I remember that I cried and screamed that it could not fit, that my daughter was blind.

today, the parents have become accustomed to their daughter's fate, and they are aware that they have to accept that their daughter allegedly will never, ever be able to see.

- It is hard to think that your daughter may never want to see your face, and there are days when the thought makes me depressed, says Cintia Molnar.
