[00:00:00]Oh no. Why hasn't the baby grown eyes yet? Relax. It's only been 5 months. You don't expect every organ to develop at the same time. Yeah, but the arms have already developed this much. The eyes should have shown signs by now. Uh, stop talking and focus on supplying nutrients. [music] What's happening? Why can't I see anything? Look, I told you we should have checked this earlier. Wait, what do you mean? Was I supposed to be born like this?

[00:00:27]Answer me. I'm sorry, honey, but there's nothing we can do.

[00:00:32]Doc, where are my son's eyes? He was born with a rare condition called cryptophthalmos, where the skin forms over the eyes before birth because the eyelids don't develop properly. But if the eyes are still there, can't surgery fix it? In some cases, surgery can help open the eye area and protect the eyes from further damage. Doctors may also try to preserve any vision that [music] is still present, but many children with this condition still don't regain normal vision because the eyes underneath often don't fully develop before birth.
