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
When a baby is born it matures along with the eyes and the brain. All of these helpful procedures need experience to perfect and help evolve the sense of sight. The "early learning years" enable the brain to have the experience so that when the actual eye and the brain mature they can coincide to work with each other. When the eye is actually enabled to see, the brain does not recognize what the eye is viewing. The blind can also use walking sticks or guide dogs to help them find their way to their destination. Some experiences needed for a seeing individual would be that cartoons and different pictures are used to learn different words that pertain to that specific image. 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 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. The cataract surgery to enable vision can be good but sight is hard to restore, the brain must be trained. As an adult, you have already adapted and set your mind into a certain thinking pattern. 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. For those individuals who choose to receive surgery to see, there a lot of things that are not "seen" after the surgery. When a child is gaining the ability to see, it is absorbing all of its environmental surrounding and the brain is processing them. The experience needed to see with another sense besides the eye, is a difficult because the brain is being taught to use its natural senses that are placed in humans for other purposes to see.
