Eugene's Story

Eugene is a bike rider, a moon gazer, and a puzzler.

He has a bright smile that lights up every room. At just two years old, he is full of curiosity as he explores the world around him. Eugene has optic nerve hypoplasia, but that doesn’t stop him from riding his bike, solving puzzles, cheering for football, or looking up at the “big moon.” He also loves spending time with his Sesame Street friends. Eugene has told his Elmo figurine—and everyone he meets—that people with vision loss deserve to Be Seen.
