Whatever doctors don't understand, doesn't exist.
Excellent point. That is the way most doctors are.
Those poor patients, the last thing anyone wants to hear when they go to the doctor is, "I have never seen anything like that before".
Hopefully the people at the Oklahoma University will figure something out to help these people.
You are so right, their pride is amazing.
There was a Catholic priest from Italy, called Padre Pio, (now Saint Pio). A modern Saint, he died in 1968. Long story short, he healed many people through the power of Jesus Christ, one of those being a blind girl named Gemma. She was born without pupils. After a visit from Padre Pio she could see as well as anybody, even though she was still without pupils.
The doctors came to investigate her case. The head of the medical crew, an optometrist, put her though a series of eye exams, and she passed them all with flying colors. Frustrated, because she had no pupils and therefore was not supposed to be able to see, he asked her which hand he had raised, how many fingers am I holding up, where did I put my coat, what color is it, etc? She continued to answer all his questions with the precision that only the sighted could have answered. His official diagnosis? "The girl is without pupils, therefore she is blind".
