Emotional video of Worcester boy getting his first pair of glasses goes viral
WORCESTER – A Worcester family was brought to tears as their young son tried on a new pair of glasses, seeing his parents clearly for the first time. The video has gone viral on TikTok with two million views and hundreds of thousands of heartfelt comments.
Two-year-old Hunter Ryan's eyes were filled with wonder and tears after trying on his new glasses, realizing he can finally see his parents' faces.
"It was so special. My heart melted," Hunter's mother Samantha Ryan told WBZ-TV. "When he looked in the mirror and looked back at me his tears just welled up in his eyes. I just started crying."
Little Hunter only mustered a few words, but his smile said it all.
"Can you see daddy different," his mother asked. "Yeah," the boy replied.
Overcome with happiness, all Hunter could do was stare at his dad. The emotional video has gone viral on TikTok with two-million views and counting.
The Worcester boy had a blocked tear duct that impaired his vision. After his first surgery failed, Hunter's doctor recommended glasses.
"You can immediately see the difference in the activity and the accuracy of kicking the ball," said his father Viktor Ryan. "I thought that was very encouraging."
"We even walked outside after and the first thing he said was 'wow' looking at the trees," said Samantha Ryan.
From trees to magazines and water fountains, Hunter is seeing the world much clearer now… teaching us to enjoy the simple things in life.
