Lucas’s Epic Adventure

About the Book

Lucas, a young boy diagnosed with Stickler syndrome, infantile glaucoma, and severe myopia, has faced numerous challenges throughout his life. He has undergone more than thirty eye surgeries and has had hundreds of hospital visits. Lucas is blind in his left eye due to a retinal detachment and can only see out of his right eye, which has had many surgeries. Despite these obstacles, Lucas remains positive, resilient, and passionate about go-karts, tractors, farming and penguins. His journey has inspired his family to write a children’s book, attend conferences, set up support groups, and advocate for better eye checks for newborns. Lucas’s kind and caring nature and determination are a testament to his strength. He has a bright future ahead, and his family is grateful for the support they have received.
