Actress Victoria Smurfit’s daughter Evie spoke bravely on last nights’ Late Late Show about her diagnosis that her eyesight is deteriorating badly.
14-yr-old Evie was very quick-witted and jovial throughout the interview but didn’t beat around the bush that she has a very serious eye problem that she and her mother have vowed to fight.
The American-based family are receiving the best medical help they can get and hopefully the fact that Evie is young will be a factor in possibly finding a cure in the future for the condition.
An articulately spoken teenager, she is determined to have a bright future one way or the other.
