England Striker Michael Owen and Son James Open Up About James’ Sight Loss | Good Morning Britain

Former England striker Michael Owen’s teenage son James was diagnosed with Stargardt disease at the age of eight. They join GMB today to discuss how James' sight became progressively worse through his teenage years and he is now 'clinically' blind.
The father and son are hoping to raise awareness of Stargardt's and other eye conditions through their new documentary ‘Football is For Everyone’.

Big respect, sometimes its easy to think that the rich have perfect happy family lives, and the reality is they are just human beings too. Looking forward to the documentary and the awareness it will bring 🙂

My son has the same condition diagnosised at 12 now 40 yrs old spotted by the optician regulator eye check 😢

[@Nathan-nl9ov]

Now that they speak of their experience, the hosts should give them a chance to tell the public what kind of support the patients need in terms of everyday activities.

[@Wolf_runner12]

Will the medicine in the upcoming 20 years progress enough to create a medicine for that condition?

[@Charlie-bj8zv]

My son was 13 when diagnosed is now 40 they have been trying for years to find a cure
