Not to mention overwhelming. Our brains are trained to focus on a specific thing and ignore all the other irrelevant information our eyes are taking in. It's probably going to be a difficult transition, even though it's for the better.

Quite possibly the most important sense of them all

Sonia and Anita, two sisters living in India, have been blind since birth, but a simple eye operation makes it possible for them to see their home for the first time. The nonprofit organization 20/20/20 provides free operations to these sisters--as well as thousands of other people in developing countries. These procedures empower people in impoverished communities to create better futures. In this short film, Blue Chalk Media shares the sisters’ poignant story and captures their initial experiences after the bandages come off.

They dont mention exactly what caused their blindness, only that they had been blind since birth. Im also wondering what it was that stopped their vision for so long.
