    Be far more cruel to give all blind people eyesight for 3 years.

    Just enough time to get used to it, enjoy it, maybe get a drivers license or start a career.

    Then one day, it goes away again without explanation.

      Yeah, 30 seconds would just make most blind people barf and shut their eyes until it went away, since their brains haven’t learned to properly process the video.

        You joke, but that’s kindof a thing.

        The occipital lobe is responsible for us being able to proccess and turn the info our eyes gather into what we see. Severely damaging is can make us be unable to process the info our eyes collect and be effectively blind. Even though there is nothing wrong with our eyes.

        You can have a stroke in your occipital lobe and just wake up blind. Or get hit in the back of your head and lose your vision.

        Basicly forget how to see.
