A nearly 1-year-old boy was the picture of joy after being able to see for the first time.

Theo, an 11-month-old from Buffalo, New York, had crossed-eyes from birth, which continued to get worse as he got older, his parents shared on TikTok.

After a recent appointment with an ophthalmologist, Theo was fitted with prescription eye glasses.
