Heather is mum to bright and bubbly four-year-old Zoe who attends the Royal London Society for the Blind Nursery. Zoe has aniridia and is registered ‘Severely Sight Impaired.’

Heather does not allow Zoe’s sight condition to define her; instead she devotes herself to enabling Zoe to be the happy and vibrant little girl that she is today.

RLSB met with Heather to hear about her experiences learning to come to terms with Zoe’s sight loss. She explained how several other mums, including her own, have helped her to accept, adapt and move forwards by supporting her every step of the way.
