'I was born awesome': 6-year-old born with no eyes is raising awareness about being different

Christian Buchanan, six, was born with a condition called Tessier cleft lip and palate - so rare there are only thought to be 60 cases documented in medical history.

The condition is caused by the facial tissues not joining properly during a baby's development.

Christian's mum, Lacey, from Woodbury, Tennessee, said as a result of her son's condition he's never been able to see.

"His condition was caused by amniotic banding syndrome," she said.

"Fibrous bands can form in the womb and if they attach to the baby they cut off blood flow, so Christian's banding happened to attach to his face."
