Pope Francis blesses eyes of girl, 5, who is losing her sight

Pope Francis has blessed the eyes of a five-year-old Ohio girl who suffers from a rare genetic disease that is gradually robbing her of her sight.

Lizzy Myers and her family had special seats for Francis’s general audience.

The Vatican visit capped off a week of touring that is part of the “visual bucket list” her parents have crafted to show Lizzy some of the wonders of the world while she can still see them.
