lol if you work with blind ppl wouldnt you know a little bit about how they can get their eyes fixed?
eyes are complex organs,
thre are about 52 differnt things that can go wrong, and usually they are permanent. usually, 99 percent of the time, sight loss is sight loss. If he was BLIND, as in no light perception, he could not have had any resorative "fix" as you will. If he was using the term lightly, like in many cases, he would have a 20/200 best corrected acuity OU (or both eyes) which is really not blind, it is considered low vision, than there are still limitations to what can be done. Cataracts, corneal scars, amblyopia/strabismus (eye alignment issues like a lazy eye) and vitreous clouding can somewhat be recovered, but...

Well, develped a catteract dude, know what that is?
so the surgery had the catteract removed, a catteract is like a fogged up eye lense

my head impacted the "halo" (extracation term for the roof's frame of the car) when we (me and DG) were involved with another car at almost a head on collision. I had extensive trama to the right side of my skull. the blindness I had was temp and momentary along with color distortion and double vision. my rt. eye fluctuated back and forth so when i wasnt blind in that eye it was anywere from 20/40-20/80 to total blindness... that they really never figured out... they think I had some sort of minor brain damage that caused that. what they fixed was the mussle damage that prevented me from seeing double in therapy... that was with a neruooptomologist(?) and a specialist that worked strictly with that injury... there is one one person in NYS that is able to do that and lucky 4 me she lived in a town over.
now for my father he lost his right eye at 9 when a knife got stuck in his eye... he lost the vision in his right eye (which you wont believe me if I told you) and that was repaired by at a 100-1 shot and he regained the vision in that eye... LUCK...

Dude, shake, that is so incredibly awesome. I can't even imagine how cool it must be to actually have depth perception again!
Yes, it is a bit big lol.....he just needs to resize it, or I can lol.......not like a bann from vent or anything lol
ok lets all relax about the eyes....
shake you are very lucky, 20 years ago, you would have have been in a world of hurt. not to go into details, but, cataract removal and replacement has really evolved, and I am really, truely happy for you. Lots of people get them from radiation therapy, but must wait a few years to have the cataract mature, before replacement, but with new technology, its so efficient and quick, that it is an out-patient surgery now. I am really happy for you.
Silver, I have seen the type of loss you have had, it is the scariest. Trauma to the brain is one of the most amazing things to explore.... It is great to hear that all envolved have had success adn recoverd from the damage. trust me, braille is one of the hardest things i ahve ever learned...
so tired now and 18 year old scotch has impaired my vision as well.....
lol
night all
