Sight After Thirty Years.
A man 6f thirty, who had been blind from birth, was able to see by an Operation for cataract at the Glasgow Ophthalmic Institution Dr Maitland Ramsay, writing in the Lancet, says the first thing the patient actually perceived after his sight was established was the face of the house surgeon. At first he did riot know, what he saw, but when the siirgeOri asked hiiri to look down, the sense of hearing guarded his eye straight to the source of sound, and then recalling what he knew from having felt his own face, he realised that this must be a mouth, and that he mnsi be looking at a face. .The first time he saw yellow it made him so sick that he would be ill. Bed gave him pleasure.
