Katie recovering after eye surgery

Who ever does this to anyone else deserves the same treatment..

It has happend far too often and anyone who conducts the horrible crime of throwing acid in peoples faces have no respect for human life..

Life in prisonment as someone else with the daily beating of the person responsible..

Why has the victim got to suffer when the perpretrator lives un marked from this ordeal.

Full of admiration for katie to endure so much and yet be positive in her outlook saw her on breakfast today and she looked stunning and so focused on the road ahead for her there evil people everywhere but goodness will shine through good luck katie

I wish they would give me this operation!!  I'm blind in my left eye too but from a shotgun accident.  It looks like it really could be life changing but I wonder how many people it will be open to?  Stem cell research is still a bit of an iffy subject. 

Seeing shapes, light, and wiggling fingers won't mean she has her usable sight back and I am not sure how she is seeing depth of field as you need far greater sight for that than just light dark and shapes which is what I see, she'll still see the side of her nose!!  but if she is that's fabulous she can say goodbye to missing teacups when pouring the water for a cuppa and the sides of walls which have a tendency to creep up on you as well as the obvious signposts!  What she will have to contend with now are the headaches as her brain tries to sort out the two different images, if she can't use a contact lens or glasses to further improve the sight to match what is in the other eye she could end up like me having two different images constantly, which is fine when your not tired you can learn to ignore it but when tired you just want to bite everyone head off and its hard to maintain other basics like having a conversation with someone... can't count the number of times I've looked blankly at someone having not understood a word they have said just out of sheer exhaustion.  If you want to see what I mean push one of your eyeballs slightly to move the position of the sight... then try live with that!

Emotionally there is also a price to be paid, she'll still remember what it was like to have sight in two eyes and there will be disappointment to contend with if you can't get back exactly what you had before, that hope is always there no matter what the ophthalmic surgeons tell you is the best possible prognosis.  You don't really forget having sight in both eyes I lost mine at 10 years old and 30 years later I still remember what it was like not to see the shape and end of my nose! Or to have the added vulnerability of not seeing all the possible dangers around you.

I'll be watching this program tonight with great interest and I really hope that Katie gets to have her full sight back this technology could make a difference to a huge amount of people.
