    The Owens are hoping to raise awareness about Stargardt disease in a documentary called Football is For Everyone.
    Owen has also revealed that he prays every day for a cure to be found for his son’s blindness.
    What is Stargardt disease?Stargardt disease is a rare, inherited eye condition caused by fatty material building up on the macula — the small part of the retina needed for sharp, central vision.
    The gene involved, ABCA4, helps process the breakdown of vitamin A inside the eye. If the gene is faulty, toxic byproducts of vitamin A build up in the light-sensitive cells in the eye, which then corrode and die.
    It usually causes vision loss in childhood and adolescence and symptoms can include sensitivity to light, grey, black,or hazy spots in the centre of vision, and colour blindness.
    It affects one in 10,000 people and there is no treatment or cure for the disease. More
