Any information on the state of the patient’s vision both pre and post-op?
If you’re going from, let’s assume, blindness, to now full vision: how does your visual cortex move from dormant to active? Is it jarring?

Nishida said that the woman’s cornea remained clear and her vision had improved since the transplant a month ago.
From what I understood, she was not blind : she had an issue that made her vision blurry and could lead to blindness over time, but she took care of it early enough it seems
I believe trying to "learn" those things after youth neuroplasticity is gone is hard
The world is a noisy place, and the less you exercises your noise reduction skills the harder it is to cope.
the #1 complaint I received from new users: "I hear too much noise"
the #1 request from all hearing aid users: "I only want to hear what I want to hear and nothing else"
Imagine telling your optometrist you only want to see the nice things in life.
In the Deaf community many people are shunned if they use hearing devices.
