A woman has called for help after giving birth to a baby boy born without eyes in the southern Chinese city of Guangzhou.

Surnamed Liu, the mother received regular prenatal checkups, finding nothing abnormal, before giving birth on Sept. 20.

Experts said the incidence of eyeball defect is rather low and genetic related.

The boy showed no other health problems.
