SCHICKSALE - Gesicht ihrer Töchter zum ersten Mal deutlich sehen: Kayley Storey kann mit Hilfe einer Spezialbrille ihre Makuladegeneration ausgleichen
Kayley and Ryan tied the knot in September 2020 during lockdown (Collect/PA Real Life). *** 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.
