Andrea Bocelli Illness. How Did He Lose His Sight?

Andrea was not born blind. After his birth, at the age of 5 months, he was diagnosed with a rare condition known as congenital glaucoma. This rare condition occurs only in infants and children. Primary and secondary glaucoma are two categories that apply to this illness, just like other types of glaucoma. Secondary congenital glaucoma develops as a result of an accident or problem, whereas primary congenital glaucoma occurs when the disease does not come from another illness or condition.

Sources revealed that the doctor warned Andrea’s mother before his birth that he might be born with a disability and advised his parents to opt for abortion at one stage. After his birth, it was clear that he had several eyesight problems. But his mother overruled the doctor’s advice and encouraged him to oppose abortion for his later life.

It was explained by Specsavers that congenital glaucoma is caused by the development of an abnormal drainage system in the eye. This doesn’t allow the eye to run the clear fluid called aqueous humor.

Unaware of his illness, Andrea took piano lessons when he was 6 years old. At the age of 12 years, his life changed suddenly. He met a dreadful football accident at the age of 12 years and suffered from a brain hemorrhage. This hemorrhage led to the complete blindness of Bocelli.

He refused to give up on music and learned the hard sections through Braille script. He admitted that doctors used various ways to cure his illness and even used leeches but nothing seemed to cure it.
