Hi
    I wasn’t really sure where to ask a question like this, but I know that hams are resourceful folks. So, here it goes. 
    I went blind at age 4 from an apses that crushed my optic nerve where it crosses. Thus, I went totally blind in both eyes. The doctors back then (41 years ago) said that optic nerves can never regenerate or grow back. So, I would be completely blind the rest of my life... Well, I accepted their sentence on my life, and got on with creating the best life I could. After all, The doctors had told my parents several times that I would not survive, and if I did, I would not be able to move, smell, hear, ETC. I would be a vegetable. Well, God intervened, and all I am is blind. 
    Well, all this being the case, you can imagine my surprise when my family and I were driving down the freeway, and suddenly there was a flash of something in my face. It was in the middle of the dark night, and we had just met a car with its lights on bright. I must have been in my late teens by this point. More time passed and I started noticing lightening. Strange for someone whose optic nerve could not regenerate. So, I went to an eye doctor who told me, again, that nothing could be done for optic nerve damage. 
    Well, time keeps moving forward, and a strange thing is going on for me. Sometimes I can tell a wall is in front of me or perhaps a chair. However, there is little if any shape to them. No color either. Just a visual something is their. Then the next day I am walking along, and walk smack dab in to the same object with no visual sense of its being there at all. I went to another I doctor and asked him to explain. He said that sometimes optic nerves do grow back but whatever “sight” I had was about as good as I could expect. He ranked me as having light perception in my right I. Well, at least I did the day I saw him. Who knows about the next day.
    The question I have is this. Is this normal getting some optic nerve regeneration? What can I do to speed up this process? How do I go about finding out more about this topic? Almost everything I read gives me the same old line about nothing being possible. I just think that after 41 years, surely there is more and better information, and healing techniques available. 
    Any insight or resources are appreciated. 

God bless,
Mark and my beautiful wife Noella
