Man’s Sight Restored 66 Years After Losing It
A staggering 66 years after losing his sight in one eye, 87-year-old John Gray can now see with the eye he has not used in over six decades and is sufficiently sighted to take a driving test.
Mr. Gray was badly injured during Luftwaffe’s bombing raid and was told he would never see with his right eye again. However, when he started to go blind in his left eye, also, specialists decided to see what they could do for this war-time wound. An eye surgeon at Glasgow’s Southern General replaced the scarred lens allowing the man to see again.
After the 1941 bombing World War II bombing, Gray had an injury to his head which took the sight away from his left eye. He says, "I didn’t know at the time it was gone for good but they told me it was a traumatic cataract formed by a blog and they said there was nothing could be done about it."
But more than six decades later, the sight in his left eye was restored after it was discovered that the lens was scarred but the retina was still healthy. He underwent surgery to repair the damaged and is, of course, delighted with the outcome.
