'I didn’t realise I was blind until I was 17'

Outlook

Available for over a year

Caroline Casey was born with ocular albinism, an incurable eye condition that leads to severe visual impairment, but for most of her childhood, she had just been told she had bad eye sight. After finding out at the age of 17, she went on to keep it a secret for nearly a decade before revealing her secret, becoming an elephant handler in India and working to change attitudes towards disability. She spoke to Outlook's Neal Razzell. (Photo credit: Jack Caffrey.)
