This is little Daisy Smith.
When her mother was pregnant, many people advised her to terminate the child as routine scans showed a cyst on her brain.
The cyst meant Daisy’s eyes were not going to form at all – instead she just has the sockets where the eyes are supposed to be.
Anophthalmia affects one in 10,000 births in the UK.
The mother-of-three ignored every doctors', and Daisy was born with the condition ‘anophthalmia’ – meaning no eyes.
However, Danielle Smith, 24 and her partner Andrew Smith, 31, have said that they do not have any regrets about their decision.
Daisy Smith will be admitted to the Great Ormond Street Hospital later this month and will undergo an operation in order to open up the eye cavity by fitting glass balls in
When 18 months old, they will then replaced with normal sized coloured eyes which will look more natural.
