[Blindtlk] Fw: [blind-family] More research new

[Bonnie M Ainsworth]

That's what I'm saying for myself.  I believe it would be traumatic for me 
as well.  Perhaps it's because of my age that I don't have that desire for 
one of those implants.  It wouldn't be worth the effort for me personally. 
Unless the effects of sight loss from diabetes could be reversed, I can't 
see putting myself through that only to face the possibility of losing it 
again.

I have been totally blind since birth.  I have mixed feelings about wanting
to see.  I do totally understand those who have seen before wanting to see
again.  If I were younger I might take the chance, but as a senior I find
that the trauma of learning to see may not be worth the effort.  There
sighted friends and relatives who do not understand my position.
