This heart-warming footage shows the moment a 10-year-old boy born blind sees for the first time - thanks to a British charity which paid for his surgery. Selim Ahmed, from Bangladesh, was born with congenital cataracts and has never been to school because he cannot use public transport. But he has now undergone surgery which was funded by the charity Vision for Bangladesh, which works with underprivileged blind children in the country. A video captures the moment Selim looks around in amazement as his brain experiences vision for the first time - a condition known as nystagmus.
