Not to my knowledge.

There was a story in An Antropologist on Mars about an individual who
regains their sight, but... I think he had some vision.

Sheila Hocken, lost her vision in Middle school and regained it later, her
experiences are quite neat to read about, in Emma and I in the collection.

Besides that... I can't think of anyone.

HHHas anyone who was totally blind at birth ben made, by srgery, to see
after they became an adult????  Understand, I am not speaking of someone who
could see for a few years....  I am speaking of someone who has been totally
blind until at least, say age 21, and then gained sight???  If so, has this
person ever written about how it is????  I would be very interested to read
about it if this has really happened....  And told by the person who
experienced it and gave his/her name???
