I watched a documentary on TLC called "My Brand New Face", it's about a man named Maurice Simpson who suffers from neurofibromatosis (NF for short). It's a condition that causes tumors to grow on his face and body.

The cool thing about Maurice is that despite his deformed face, he has such an upbeat attitude. Maurice rides a motorcycle, so one of his concerns was his face hanging out from his helmet.
:
"I had bought the biggest motorcycle helmet I could find and my face still hung out on the bottom. That’s what really did it for me,"



You can read more about him here:

Some people were making comments about it being unsafe that he rode. He can't see out of one eye (the droopy one).

he probably "sees" a heck of a lot more than most people!
