Josie Wyatt, runs her hand down the arm of her father to find an easter egg she is searching for during the Audible Egg Hunt on Saturday at Pleasant View United Methodist Church. Wyatt was born with Bilateral Anophthalmia, a rare condition is characterized by absent eyeballs in the presence of eyelids, conjunctiva or lacrimal apparatus and is from Damascus, Virginia.
Presley Tuggle, 5, from Saltville, VA grabs an Audible Egg during the egg hunt in Abingdon, Virginia on Saturday. Tuggle has Ocular albinism a genetic condition that primarily affects the eyes. This condition reduces the coloring (pigmentation) of the iris, which is the colored part of the eye, and the retina, which is the light-sensitive tissue at the back of the eye. The egg she has collected has a switch to turn off the beep.
