To mark World Sight Day, here's video from the Newsflare archive of a baby's reaction to seeing his mother for the first time.

The footage, captured in Warren County, Iowa in March 2017, shows three-month-old Everett - who has a rare disorder called Oculocutaneous Albinism, which affects his vision - giggling as he sees his mother with the help of a new pair of glasses.

''When our son Everett was two months old, we noticed he was not tracking objects or making direct eye contact, the filmer later wrote online.

''We visited with a pediatric ophthalmologist who suggested Everett has Occulocutaneous Albinism, which means he lacks pigment in his eyes, skin and hair.''

''It is a rare disorder which seems to be misunderstood or not widely known about, but people with albinism can do anything everyone else can do. They just need some help with vision and protection from the sun.''

''Our son is doing extremely well with his glasses so far,'' she added.

World Sight Day is an annual day of awareness that takes place on the second Thursday of October to focus attention on blindness and vision impairment.

Our video is of our son, Everett, seeing for the first time with his new glasses. Everett was three months old when this video was taken and has Albinism. At around two months old, we noticed he was not tracking objects or making direct eye contact. We visited with a pediatric ophthalmologist who suggested Everett has Occulocutaneous Albinism which means he lacks pigment in his eyes, skin and hair. Only about 1 out of 17000 people have Albinism and it is a genetic disorder passed on by both parents carrying the albinism gene (which only 1 out of 75 people have so it is quite rare my husband and I both were carriers!). Each pregnancy will result in a 1 in 4 chance of having a child with Albinism. It is a rare disorder which seems to be misunderstood or not widely known about, but people with albinism can do anything everyone else can do! They just need some help with vision and protection from the sun. Our son was born 12.14.16 and is doing extremely well with his glasses so far. We hope our video can help to spread awareness about Albinism!
