Me too, if it was really getting the sight back, smile, I would go for it.

I especially miss the autumn leaves, colors of items, and being able to read
print, even large print for some things.

Smile.

But I also had sight growing up and can visualize really well.

HI Monica and all,

Since I had sight at one point I would take the chance on new technology
that might give it back. I have heard of some of the implants that can give
outlines of things. Something like that I would probably pass on but to get
some real vision back, Count me in:)
