This is a good question. I think it all depends on how much vision you would get back, but as someone that recently lost their site almost 3 years ago, I would like my site back to be able to do the things I used to be able to do, however, me losing my site has definitely opened the door for new opportunities that I don’t think I would be getting into if I had my site

Absolutely, in a heartbeat. I've been around a lot more sided people throughout my life than blind people, so I think I would adjust pretty well. But I have spoken with other blind people about this and some of them say that they're quite comfortable being who they are. And I have heard stories of blind people who had their site restored that were really scared and afraid and wished that they had not got their site back. It would definitely be a huge adjustment for some because the whole responsibility thing would completely change.

I would have to say that if I ever did get my side back though, I doubt that I would ever feel comfortable driving a vehicle!

I would, but just as long as I could reverse its effects in case it's too much for me. I feel like I'd be much more judgmental and stuck in my own little bubble if I'd always had sight, but there's always a small part of me which wonders what it would be like.

Another part of me says that ignorance is bliss. As you can tell, I'm pretty conflicted about this issue.

That’s a really deep question, and for me it isn’t a simple yes or no. I’ve been blind my whole life, so blindness isn’t something I “lost.” It’s how I learned the world, how I learned music, how I learned to listen, to feel, to trust people, and to trust myself. It shaped my discipline, my creativity, my faith, and my relationships. I’m genuinely grateful for where I’ve come from and for the person I am today because of that journey. I love asking questions about things, and I love visualizing in my head. My imagination does a lot of the work for me. I can see light and shadows, and I have a sense of a few colors here and there, so I build pictures internally based on descriptions, sound, texture, emotion, and context. Because of that, I don’t feel disconnected from the visual world. I engage with it differently. Curiosity drives me to understand what things are like, not from a place of missing something, but from a place of wanting to know more. If I could suddenly see, I wouldn’t want it to erase who I am or what I’ve built. I wouldn’t want to trade away my identity, my perspective, or the community I’m part of. Being blind isn’t just a limitation to me, it’s also a lens through which I experience life deeply and meaningfully. At the same time, I’m human. I’m curious. I wonder what colors really look like, what faces look like, what a sunset looks like beyond the descriptions people give me. So if seeing were something I could experience without losing myself, without it being framed as “fixing” me, I’d be open to understanding that experience. But if the question is really asking whether my life is incomplete without sight, my answer is no. My life is full. I’ve traveled the world, built a career, made music, formed deep relationships, and found purpose. I don’t live in a place of lack. I live in a place of gratitude for where I’ve come from, confidence in who I am, and appreciation for the way I already see the world.

I was born with it, I lost it, and I would have it again. I know what I’m missing. Being able to write with a pen and take pictures with the technology that’s available is something I would like to experience
