People say beauty comes in all forms and sizes, so whether you have curves or you’re too skinny, there should be no definite rules in defining beauty. In today’s standards, no physical attribute is superior to the other. People have now learned to accept the fact that all of us are created equal, and, as we all know, each one of us has flaws. We’ve learned to lift each other up as a way to celebrate humanity, especially in the aspect of beauty. We’ve also become accustomed to embracing our imperfections.
With that said, it has become a trend to celebrate one’s own uniqueness. The fashion, beauty, and entertainment industries have credited less-than-perfect people as beautiful people.

In fact, the singer had both anisocoria and heterochromia (different eye colors).Anisocoria is a more common condition than heterochromia, and it doesn’t have side effects or other symptoms.

Until today, the flooring model stands tall and proud of her physical features. She currently works her way to the top of the modeling world, and we have yet to see more of her in the next few years.

On top of that, unfortunately, he has also received unpleasant comments for his albinism.
Out of four siblings, Bera and his brother, Tsotne, were both born with albinism. However, the singer didn’t let his condition stop him from pursuing his dreams. He also broke barriers when he made investments in his own record label called Georgian Dream. While Bera is the famous brother, there is no shadow of a doubt that Tsotne is also admired because of his being proud of his imperfections.
Cat Eye Syndrome
This young boy from Nepal has instantly become an internet star because of his eyes. People think he looks cute, but most are not aware that he suffers from a medical condition called Cat Eye Syndrome, which is an eye defect that resembles a cat’s eye. In severe cases, it can also cause serious medical issues that affect the kidneys and heart.
The syndrome’s name was catchy and stuck to the common tongue, but it is more complex than it seems. The cat-like eye appearance is caused by Iris Coloboma, a condition that is characterized by a hole in the eye’s iris. Most colobomas cause double vision, decreased visual acuity, and blurred vision. We hope the anonymous boy can have insurance to get his eyes checked.
