A teenager woke up blind weeks after meeting her new boyfriend - and said it made them "much closer".

Kitty Hinde, 19, has been visually impaired most of her life after being diagnosed with glaucoma - which damages the optic nerve - when she was nine.

She had several treatments - included a cornea transplant - to stop her losing her vision.

Just weeks after meeting now-boyfriend Sam, 22, Kitty woke up blind and hasn't had her vision back since - but says Sam has supported her every step of the way.
