Natascha Marilovic has struggled with severe eye problems since birth. She tells Krone+ how the now almost blind Viennese woman copes with glaucoma and still masters her life with flying colors. Honest, open words from an impressive woman.

Natascha Marilovic, 48, didn't have it easy from birth - she was born with a strong eye tremor (nystagmus), extreme short-sightedness and several rare genetic defects affecting her eyes: For example, she has no iris (aniridia) and suffers from the so-called Peters anomaly, a disease of the lens and cornea. But it didn't stop there. Over time, she also developed dangerous glaucoma.
