So hatte sie sich den schönsten Tag ihres Lebens nicht vorgestellt: Christine Miller musste ins Krankenhaus – weil sie allergisch auf die Hochzeitsblumen war. Gepflückt im eigenen Garten merkte sie noch nichts, einen Tag vor der Hochzeit bastelte sie mit ihrer Mutter sogar noch schöne Bouquets damit. Doch am nächsten Tag hatte sie einen fiesen Juckreiz – und dabei sollte es nicht bleiben.

SONDERKONDITIONEN: Satzpreis! Kayley was able to see Ivy's face clearly for the first time thanks to OXSIGHT Oynx glasses (PA Real Life/Ian Wallman). *** Former X Factor contestant gets gift of sight
for her birthday thanks to miracle glasses allowing
her to see her daughters face clearly for first time
By Harriet Bullough, PA Real Life
A former X Factor contestant was given the gift of sight for her birthday when miracle
glasses allowed her to see her daughters face clearly for the first time.
Professional artist Kayley Storey, 33, was just 15 when she was diagnosed with rare
Stargardt disease, an inherited eye condition affecting an area of the retina known as the
macula and reducing central or detailed vision.
While she refused to let it hold her back auditioning for the 2009 X Factor alongside Olly
Murs and getting to the final 12 girls she relied on her HGV mechanic husband, Ryan,
35, to describe even her favourite TV shows to her. And when their daughter, Ivy, was
born last December, she could not see her face clearly.
But on August 22, Kayley, of Gillingham, Kent, says she had the best birthday ever,
thanks to a pair of special glasses which enabled her to at last see Ivy properly.
She said: It was magical. I was lent the glasses to try, but if I can get a pair, itll change
everything. I can watch Ivy in her Christmas plays and do her homework with her.
Kayley first realised something was seriously wrong with her eyes when she was 15
going to the doctor when she could no longer see the board clearly in lessons.
She said: First I couldnt see the board, then I noticed my teachers faces disappearing,
so I went to the optician.
My first two tests were inconclusive, then I was diagnosed with Stargardt disease.
It was a real shock for my whole family, as we have no history of it.
Left unable to focus on objects or people, Kayley found the condition very difficult to deal
with.
She said: Its like someone has poured a big tub of glitter in the middle of my eye.
Its really isolating. If Im in a room full of people, I dont know whats going on or how
people are reacting.
Despite her difficulties, she was still determined to achieve her dreams and, aged 20,
auditioned for X Factor singing Unchained Melody by the Righteous Brothers.
I started singing because it was a way of expressing myself, she said.
If I hadnt been diagnosed with Stargardt disease I would never have started singing in
front of people. I guess, in a way, I cant see the audience, so I dont get scared.
Then, in November 2018, she met Ryan on a dating app tying the knot under lockdown
restrictions in September 2020, when she was 25 weeks pregnant.
We got engaged in December 2019 and originally planned our wedding for April 2020,
she said.
We had invited over 100 people, but when Covid hit we had to postpone. I fell pregnant
and we decided to have a small wedding of 30 people in September 2020.
It was perfect. Having less people made it much easier, so it actually worked out
perfectly.
But, despite the couples love story, Kayley was hesitant about having a child and
potentially passing her condition on.
The condition is genetic, she said.
I was apprehensive about having children, as I was worried about them having the
condition. But speaking to Ryan I realised it was going to be ok.
He said that if that if we created someone like me then it was worth having even more
people in the world.
From that moment, I knew I wanted a family with him.
Giving birth to beautiful baby Ivy, now eight months, in December 2020, Kayley was over
the moon and accepted that she would never see her newborns face in detail.
I had prepared myself for not seeing Ivy clearly, she said.
Id accepted what my vision was like, but I was nervous taking care of her, as theyre
such delicate humans at that age.
Ryan did everything at first, but then I adapted, and it became second nature.
So, on her 33rd birthday on August 22, 2021, Kayley was over the moon when tech start
up company, OXSIGHT lent her a pair of their special Oynx glasses, so she could see the
world in detail for the first time in years.
Available for pre-order in the UK, the smart glasses cost £1,499 plus VAT although low
vision aids are VAT free for those eligible. They work by digitally enhancing the wearers
remaining sight.
It was honestly amazing to see my loved ones in the room, she said.
It was just a breath of fresh air to be able to communicate with them properly to see
exactly what was going on.
I just couldnt stop staring at Ryan and Ivys blue eyes.
I think having this disability in life can feel quite isolating.
Its hard to read a room of people, so having the glasses, I felt like my old self was back
in the room.
Best of all, Kayley could see all her baby girls features clearly for the first time.
It was amazing reading to Ivy, she said.
I used to really love reading and now I cant read any books or magazines. Even walking
down the street I cant read any signs.
To sit and read to Ivy was special as it f
