It'd probbly take me more time to type this sentence than it would to 
decide I would indeed take my sight bakc.  While I don't pine away 
daily, I've never really gotten "use" to it. I have my own 
perspectives on why it is that folks have acception or are content 
about blindness, or as much as feeling God wants them blind, 
especially when it comes to the Word and faith and such but it is 
better left for now. I will say I haven't given up on God's 
intervention regarding it, and yet it  in itself will never become my 
god. First comes the creator and then his good and perfect gifts. 
Having had cataract surgery recently for general  eye health reasons 
as it can increase the eye pressure leaving them on, I did talk with 
my doctor who is a retinal specialist. The implant type electronic 
artificial photo  sensors while are up to  1500 or so now, don't 
compare to the count of over a milllionin the eye. And yet it does 
offer some hope for those who wish to sacrifice the natural retina 
for the experiment or limited results. I personally am encouraged by 
the ability for them to grow a multi-layered retina from stem cells 
which to my knowledge are  not  embrionic harvests. I won't say I'm 
content beig blind, I do find it has allowed some things which 
perhaps I'd not have normally done or saw in other ways than vision, 
but it is still a very major pain in the backside to me compared to 
how efficient life was prior and I would very much like to get that 
back some day. Not to mention to see the face of my kids and wife 
again, and yes those purpolish lavender fading to pink and orange 
sunsets would hold my imagination for a long time  pre-blindness.
