MAY RECOVER SIGHT
REMARKABLE EYE-GRAFTING '. • ‘\■'• \' V ' (United Press Association—Cepyright) LONDON, November 2. Two remarkable cornea grafting operations were carried cut at the Central London Ophthalmic Hospital early last month. They have proved so successful that- both patients, one of whom has been blind since birth, and the other for 26 years, are*expected to recover their sight. In the case of the man hern blind, the substitution of visual perception for the sense of touch will probably take some time, hut he has been able already to count his fingers and to distinguish colours. —British Official Wireless.
