Just a couple of stories from Yahoo news.... http://dailynews.yahoo.com/h/nm/20001125/od/life_newzealand_dc_1.html Bump on the Head Returns Sight to Blind Woman AUCKLAND (Reuters) - A collision with a coffee table has restored the sight of a New Zealand woman a decade after she was declared permanently blind. Lisa Reid, 24, lost her sight 10 years ago after developing a brain tumor, the New Zealand Herald reported on Saturday. But earlier this month, Reid knocked her head while bending down to kiss her guide dog Ami good night. When she woke the following morning, she could see. Doctors could offer no explanation for the recovery but said Reid had regained 80 percent sight in her left eye. Unsure if her sight would last, Reid waited a few hours before telephoning her mother and reading aloud the health warning on a packet of cigarettes to her to prove she could see again. http://dailynews.yahoo.com/h/nm/20001125/od/life_glue_dc_1.html New Jersey Woman Accidentally Glues Eye Shut JEFFERSON TOWNSHIP, N.J. (Reuters) - A woman in northern New Jersey accidentally sealed one of her eyes with superglue but apparently suffered no permanent damage, police said on Friday. Gladys Wyse, 43, was reaching for a bottle of eyedrops on Thursday but grabbed a container of superglue instead, applying the contents to one eye and gluing the lids together, Jefferson Police Sgt. Eric Wilsusen said. ``She just grabbed the wrong bottle,'' Wilsusen said. Unable to open her eye, Wyse called the police department. A rescue squad was sent to her home in the Lake Hopatcong section of Jefferson and took her to St. Clare's Hospital in Dover, New Jersey, where she was treated and released, a hospital spokeswoman said. Wilsusen said he did not believe Wyse was blinded or had any permanent eye damage. She could not be reached for comment. ------------------ Save our children from the TAAS test: TAAS test report card TAAS test fact sheet
