I read it this morning on the BBC site.

Great news!!

reading the comments section is funny

This is indeed groundbreaking

This is medical miracle in the making. I see some high tech prosthetic that can make people walk and do things as they were never disabled. Great news.

This is excellent news.

Kaz, it seems like only a couple years ago your nephew had the accident.

The Emotional Moment a Man Saw For The First Time In 33 Years Thanks To A 'Bionic Eye'

Larry Hester, a 66-year-old tire salesman from Raleigh, North Carolina, has spent the latter half of his life blind, due to a degenerative condition called retinitis pigmentosa that destroyed his photoreceptor cells. But thanks to new "bionic eye" technology, and Dr. Paul Hahn and his team at Duke Eye Center in Durham, North Carolina, Hester is no longer entirely in the dark, reported Today.com.

Time has flown by. Next week will make 4 years. They just removed a plate that they put in after the accident to mend his broken neck because it was pressing on his wind pipe. Hopefully this triggers something for him.

I wish him a much speedier recovery. I now have to stop complaining of my aches after hearing about this lad. Dam!
