Art and Charitable Causes by Lukas Lukas' Art journey and how it's being used to help others My name is Lukas. I am 4 years old and I love to paint.

At birth, I was diagnosed with congenital ptosis in the right eye for which I have received continual treatment at Moorfields Eye Hospital in London. Congenital ptosis is a drooping of the upper eyelid which is present from birth. This can be caused by dysfunction of the muscles that raise the eyelid or their nerve supply. It is important that this disorder is treated at a young age, otherwise it

can interfere with vision development or lead to other conditions such as amblyopia or astigmatism. I started painting when I was 3 with Emmy Philipp-Ting at Emmy's Malwerkstat (https://www.facebook.com/Emmy0768025888/). I created this page to document my experiences with ptosis, my art and how I am using my artwork for charitable causes. First and foremost I will be working with Moorfields Eye Charity (https://www.moorfieldseyecharity.org.uk) to give something back to the institution that has provided excellent care to me since I was very young. Please have a look around and send me a message if you would like to get in touch! To learn more about ptosis, please visit:

We still remember how tough it was as a first time parent to find out that your little baby had a congenital eye issue. A mixture of shock, disbelief and perhaps a little anger added to the feeling of helplessness. It took us a couple of months to find out that the problem was called Ptosis, a malfunction of the eye lid due to missing muscles. We also learnt that from birth to 7 years old was when the cognitive pathways between the eye and brain developed the most - driving the need for early treatment.

Lukas has received excellent consultation and treatment at Moorfields Eye Hospital since the age of 3 months. He underwent 2 operations , one at 11 months and one at 4.5 years old - in July 2017. We are pleased to say that Lukas now has perfect eyesight and hopefully no further operation will be required.

Lukas started painting classes at around 3 years old. His skills have developed significantly in the last 12-18 months and we had the idea to use his art in a charitable way that could benefit Moorfields and others. Therefore we initiated a fund raising campaign - in conjunction with Moorfields Eye Charity - in support of their work with children with eye disorders. As a token of thanks and with the consent of Lukas, we made a calendar that will be sent - worldwide - to anyone who donates to the charity.

We are reaching out to all of our family and friends to support this good cause and receive a 2018 desk calendar with a selection of Lukas' paintings.
