Stephen Nedoroscik opens up about struggles due to his eye condition

Stephen Nedoroscik recently sat for a conversation with Sherri Shepherd, where he opened up about the challenges he faced because of his eyesight. The 26-year-old revealed that he suffers from strabismus, which affects his training as a professional gymnast. Not only this, but his eye condition also affected his practice sessions during the DWTS journey.

Opening up about the problems he usually faces due to his eye condition and revealing how he overcomes them, he said (via YouTube channel 'Sherri'):

"Yes, my condition, first of all, I have strabismus, which is when your eyes turn inward. I also have coloboma. Both of those do affect my training a lot. With Strabismus, I don't have any depth perception and with Colobama, I'm very sensitive to light. So in a lot of arenas and stuff it will be in my face and it's very uncomfortable at times but it's one of those things that I have gone through in this life and learn sort of how to direct myself through all these adversities."
