Jasmyne and Jermaine Hill welcomed their first child into the world in February 2022. At just 3 months old, Jaxon was diagnosed with congenital glaucoma and rushed into surgery. Since then, he has undergone 2 more surgeries.
Thanks to those doctors as well as Jasmyne and Jermaine’s quick action, Jaxon’s vision was saved. Jaxon is now 21 months old and his parents describe him as a typical toddler, who can recognize their faces and bounce with joy when mom walks through the door. In between appointments with his ophthalmologist, Jasmyne and Jermaine are devoted to raising awareness of this disease and encouraging everyone to get their eyes checked.
Right now, brilliant scientists in four leading laboratories — members of the third pioneering Catalyst for a Cure consortium — are on the verge of breakthroughs that could restore vision lost to glaucoma.
