Fire in the Eye

---

Oh sh*t,thanks.

didn't see that

Me neither.

People say, "seeing is believing"

But for me that's not entirely true.

I lost my sight when I was 5 years old.

those memories of what I have seen...

had.... so much that i doubted even recognise

myself anymore.

Now I see using my other senses.

I can smell the rain before it drops.

But I can not watch it fall

I can feel the sun on my face.

But I can not see a rise or set

I want to see the world like everyone else.

to see the sun, rain and music.

I bet that the music looks beautiful.

Thank you.

Happy Birthday.

My donor?

I'm afraid i can't help you

with that Sydney.These are your eyes now

and they're working.

I shouldn't matter where it came from.

It hurts?

Yes , a little.

When will i be able to see clearly?

Varies with each patient,

A couple of days or weeks.

But your vision itself isn't the issue,

Because you were blind so long

so i'm going to refer you a specialist.

Paul Faulkner, he'll help you.

-You all right?

-Yeah.

-Have a nice day tomorrow.

-Thanks, Sydney.

You've damaged your cornea,

when you were five.

Yeah, my sister and i were

playing with firecrackers.

I tried a transplant,when i was 12.

But i rejected them

-Ayrntl aratrma.

Have you tried again?

No, my sister was really the one

who kept up with all that stuff.

These are Dr. Haskin's test results.

There's nothing physically wrong with you.

Opeartion went flawlessly.

-but you were probably... for a shock

-Why?

You've already felt the information

from sound, smell and touch.

But now,you're gonna be assaulted by a

million things you never even knew existed.

That is an all

new level of confusion.

Do i look here, here,is that bright thing important,

is dark one moving toward me or away from me...

...dangerous or not?

As long as your eyes are open,

there are just too many distractions,

I mean, how do you consantrate?

I'm talking to you...

...and you're looking at that one and

you're thinking if you're gonna eat that.

They are pineapple,by the way.

You cut it open.

I like pineapple.

Sorry.

Anyway,because you can see, people are gonna

expect you to deal things that you can't do

...read signs,recognise body language, people's

gestures and facial expressions...
