SEEING

A detailed Summary of SEEING

The lights are off, visibility zero, you here a noise, you get up and fall over your table; now imagine that experience your whole life by being blind. There is more then what meets the eye when we refer to sight. The eye can be surgically trained to see but the mind can not identify the object if it has never been seen. When blind patients feel an object they know what it is because that is how the brain has been trained to identify objects. Those who are deprived of sight and had it surgically restored, still will never regain full sight because of the time and experience both the eye and brain must have, working together to see and separate images. The brain must go through the same training it went through by learning to identify objects by touch. When a person has not been able to see from birth and has the privilege of sight after she/he has gone through the early "learning" years of it's life, the brain struggles because of it's drastic transitional change. Vision is a combination of effort, time, and experience along with the physical eye itself.

One of the main combinations that creates the aspects of vision for the human eye, is effort. The average human, which has been able to se

Another aspect of vision for the human eye is giving the brain time to be able to absorb and understand the difference of sight and touch. When you are born with the ability to see the brain and the eye work together in the "early learning" years of the child's life, to grasp the concept of sight. When one is born disabled the hand and the brainwork together to "see". When sight is restored through surgery, as an adult, the brain has a much harder time grasping the relationship with the eye. The reason being is that, when you are born, your brain develops with the world around you and you are experiencing things and objects for the first time. As an adult, you have already adapted and set your mind into a certain thinking pattern. The transition the brain must go through after restoration of sight is difficult. When the brain has been trained to "see" with a certain sense besides the eye, it is hard for it to upgrade into using the eye as the sense of sight. When the eye is actually enabled to see, the brain does not recognize what the eye is viewing. This is the reason that time is crucial in the process of building relationships with any sense of the human body to be able to see.

Those who can see do not appreciate their sight until it is lost or it is experienced for themselves. Put yourself in a blind person's position for a day, most can not function because of the time, effort and experience needed to utilize the sense to see. The cataract surgery to enable vision can be good but sight is hard to restore, the brain must be trained. When a baby is born it
