No More Darkness

Is it possible for blind people to regian their sight? Today with the help of modern technology it is! Today there are various methods for sight recovery. One way is to implant an artificial retna. This artificial retna is just a fraction of the size of a penny. Another way is to send an electric current through the optic nerve. In doing this doctors hope to stimulate the nerve so it will work again. Lastly, research on blind mice has revealed that stem cells can be used to cure blindness.
In local news, Patricia A. Stanton regained her sight after a corneal transplant. Before this she had been blind for 65 years. I think it is incredible how she came to receive her sight. Just the general advancement of technology is amazing. Just think, twenty years ago something like this would have been impossible. Also the world must have seemed very strange to her since she was blind for her whole life. I wonder if she was able to get around well now that she was using sight, not touch, to guide her. It would be intresting to talk to her and see if she could recognize the objects she knew by touch when she saw them.
