‘The trees were a deeper green than I imagined, and so tall’

ever wondered what it might be like to regain

“I found it very distracting to look at people’s faces
when I was having a conversation. I can see their lips moving,

would be even more distracting. It was easier to close my eyes or
tune out the visual input.”
