I'm very happy for this guy.  I lost my vision 5 years ago (i was 18) and I thought the world was over (even though i could still see fuzzy shapes).  I have been working on restoring as much of my vision as possible and can now read normal print with my left eye (my right is useless though).  Its a very disorenting thing to loose your vision, and scary too.  you become afriad of everything and rely so heavily on others for help it makes you feel incompetent.  I was afraid f CURBS because i couldnt see them!  I really hope this man can live out his life in relative normalcy with this device.  Like you said-the money doesnt matter.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[orlenda]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Mar 17th 2010 10:35AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Blind British Soldier Regains Sight With His Tongue]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2010/03/16/blind-british-soldier-regains-sight-with-his-tongue/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2010/03/16/blind-british-soldier-regains-sight-with-his-tongue/</guid><description><![CDATA[Orlenda, how can you say this government doesn't care about it's people? It seems to me that the government is supporting to so many that it is going broke. I just wonder what makes you say that and if you think governments in other countries do more for their people? I have visited quite a few countries and have not walked away feeling my goverment or country was lacking.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[colleen]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Mar 17th 2010 12:56PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Blind British Soldier Regains Sight With His Tongue]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2010/03/16/blind-british-soldier-regains-sight-with-his-tongue/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2010/03/16/blind-british-soldier-regains-sight-with-his-tongue/</guid><description><![CDATA[leave it to british engineers to Goldberg a solution to a simple problem. Is there a bowling ball, ironing board and elephant somewhere in this 'new' system?

Also check out the pay differential between the most highly paid Americans compared to the lowest paid; then compare it to other developed countries. Then think about what percentage of the highest paid incomes go to health insurance compared to the percentage paid by the lowest, if they can even get it. Get a grip girl.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[shere]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Mar 17th 2010 1:48PM</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
