Born two years ago with severe eye problems, Dakota Clarke could not even see well enough to recognise her own mother and father.

But now the parents of the little girl, who is registered blind, say she can make out their faces for the first time after pioneering stem cell treatment.

The couple gave up work to raise £30,000 to fly their daughter to China for the treatment, which remains at the experimental level in Britain.
