Ever heard of Anton's syndrome? It's a rare but strange condition. 👨‍🎓

After an injury to the back of the brain, a person can become blind but they are totally unaware that they can't see. Their brain does not realise that they can no longer see. 🧑‍🦯

It's #LowVisionAwarenessMonth and being #Blind doesn't mean you see nothing at all. At Perkins, we give kids with disabilities the confidence and knowledge to access their world in their own way. Help us continue this work with a gift today: https://t.co/RCQnXBb9qh #SuperBowlLIX
