She was just a normal kid, running around with her friends and having fun dancing - until a devastating diagnosis.
When Emma Norman was six her parents noticed her squinting at the TV but they didn’t think too much of it.
However, Emma, now 33, would soon find out that she had Cone Rod Dystrophy and would eventually go blind.
Emma, a Pilates and meditation breathwork instructor from London, living in Biggleswade, Bedfordshire, believes the stereotypes around blindness made accepting her diagnosis even harder — and she wants to challenge outdated ideas around sight loss.
“Life before my diagnosis felt pretty normal,” she remembers.
“I was just like any other kid—running around with friends, dancing around to my favourite TV shows and records. I even skipped crawling and went straight to walking, and I was reading and talking from a very young age, so nobody noticed anything unusual.
“To me, everything seemed fine because that was just my normal. It wasn’t until my parents started picking up on little things—like me squinting at the TV or struggling to see animals at the zoo when they pointed them out—that they became curious.
“At first, they thought I was just being cheeky, pretending not to see things, but when I kept squinting at the TV, they decided to take me to the optician. They assumed I was probably just short-sighted and needed glasses.
“In my early years at school, I only needed to sit closer to the board, but beyond that, I didn’t notice anything different. I guess what I saw—how I saw—was just my normal.
“When I first started squinting, my parents thought I probably just needed glasses for short-sightedness, like the other kids in my class.
“The optician gave me my first pair of multi-coloured glasses in the meantime while they arranged for the doctors to refer me to Moorfields Eye Hospital, as they could tell something more was going on.
